Last time on no latency. It's not like a murder mystery party. It's it's an actual murder. Well, obviously I'm the Femme Patel. I can't be the doctor and the detective. What? What do you mean to take a thing Asking questions? I'm the detective. Now remember, every murder needs means and motive and opportunity. The cause of death? An explosive chip placed in his chip slot. It says you're not it, Hon, we're going with GS.
I'll tell you, Victor. Why don't I go ahead and talk to the guards to see if they can find your missing prototype? JK. 74 Ascend a Visio. They just become like super speed. That could be what that green light was. It was so fast we didn't see it. There's gonna be one of those things where only one person is the murderer, but everyone wanted him dead. Absolutely. Retro Vivi, thanks for coming back. What? What do we know so far? Well, we've got one murdered
asshole. We've got 6 suspects and a few clues. And who do we and who do we still have to talk to? Oh, well, we still have to talk to Ora Gavel, I think. Is their name Savel? Gavel. Or a gavel rain Sinclair. Just good night. Yes, and the collector. Oh, and Remy, we've got that chip. We found it. Yes, Remy, we should take a look at that chip that we found as well, the private chip.
We have Hunter's letter. Doc. Please be ready to You know what I'm I'm going to go ahead and put the chip ready to put in, and at the same time I'm going to cover the other side of my neck to make sure the sign of SC in person designed to break my neck. You're all in a room away from everyone else in the side room with the corkboard. OK, I'm still going to do it cuz I'm nervous after seeing that footage.
We'll put it in. Now the chip has on it an unreleased episode of Rumor 54. Roll Security Tech. No, I don't know if I'm good at that. That's 29. Yes, you find a hidden folder labeled April. And inside is 1 sound file. I'm going to click the April one first because obviously there's a connection with there because you know, we watch April all the time and we trust them. For our information, we. Have to reinforce the parasocial. Relationship Take one. Action.
And hey, Mr. Kerrigan, maybe next time send me an invite. I'd love to shop your floor something. I mean, I would love to go shopping at your quarterly market and report on it for the news. No, April, read what's right. Love to go shopping with all of my platonic friends sometime. April, you gotta read. Mr. Kirrigan, maybe next time send me an invite. I'd love to shop your floor sometime platonically I I know things didn't workout, but between us and I know it's my
fault. I. I just want to be supportive, you know? April. Got this part out. Yeah, yeah, of course. God. And hey, Mr. Kirrigan, maybe next time send me an invite. I'd love to shop your floor sometime. Perfect Book it. That that's really embarrassing. I think I just got scalded with that hot tea. Ow. How many files are on the chip, Remy? Well, there's one more I guess we could play that. Are we all ready for the next one? Is it?
Does anyone have anything they want to say about the April thing in in the shows they talk about the evidence. I don't know that that's a clue. Okay. Well, maybe the other file is retro. All right, hit play. Hey. Everyone. To rumor 54 with me. Gabriel Steel Finger. Guns a little fan. Mail came across my desk this morning from our very own collector here in Night City asking to be on the show, and here it is. And here it. Goes in the shredder. What a square.
Moving on to some real interesting stuff, I have info on who Victor Salas has been playing with behind. It turns out that. One of his consultants. Got a little closer than they should have. Embarrassing local. Auctioneer or a gavel has fallen off the wagon and has hired local net runners to hide this from future employers receipts. TuneIn next week for some juicy gossip about April, Anonymous, and more. Sorry, not sorry, April. And we'll see you next time on
Rumor. 54, sorry, sorry. Wow, I hate that. But I love it. But I hate it. It's. Not any of those remishes. Remember 54 What? Were you going to say Iona? No, I was just going to say it's a guilty pleasure of mine. Me too. Shut up. It's fun. It seems the rumors about Victor being with somebody is making its way through the mill, but I think we've already kind of nailed down who that is. The rain. But this aura, I don't know. They seem like they're on the out. That felt like a. I'm not.
I'm not in the room. But I feel like I learned something. No, no, Jeb, you're right there. You're right. Here I'm right. Here, all in this room together, we said it in the beginning. We watched that video and everything. Right. Aura had a drug addiction. And just falling off the wagon. And has fallen off the wagon, yes. But that episode hasn't come out yet, so does that mean that Gabriel had dirt on everyone? I believe so. Wait, Gabriel didn't mention two
people? Yeah, they mentioned The Collector. They didn't mention Hunter, I don't think. And they didn't mention Jessica. I don't know. I think we should still just try talking to people. That's what they normally do on the show. Maybe we should go to Ora next. I need to grab a drink. Okay, we can go to Ora. Right. Who goes over to Ora? I'm gonna go back to Hunter. Okay, I own our heads to Hunter. Hunter standing there, cleaning yet another glass. I'm gonna go behind the bar. What?
What are you doing? What are you you allowed to do that? I'm allowed to do anything. I'm the detective. Oh, OK. I'm just grabbing a ginger. Ale take a chill bill, that is. Yes, I got confused with the Canada logo. Listen, you can be real with me. But. Did you kill him? Gabriel No. Why not? Look he. He's a lot more popular than me and has a lot more followers. And you know, I applied for the same room at 54 job as him and and I didn't get it right. And that's fine.
It's not a problem. I've got my own blog and my own garden. I get followers, people care. I snuck in here, didn't I? And. Why are you here? It's going to confront Gabriel, ask him where he gets all this information, like after the auction, because there might have been a scoop, like who bought what. I could report on that and maybe get like. Contractor job, a room at 54. Get some money. Pay some rent. Well, now that he's dead, there's a job opening.
Yeah, guess I'll apply. Well, pay close attention to what you learned here. Sure. Thank you. You're welcome. And I go over to Ora with the rest of the gang. Hi. There. How are you? Yeah, I know I'm fine. I'm cool and great. I'm. Fantastic. Uh huh. Did you kill him? Do you know when? We'll be allowed to get to go to our, to go to our cars or something. I didn't. Kill the guy I didn't. Kill the guy. Why would I kill the guy? I don't know what I did.
I don't know anything about him. He didn't know anything about me. Mmhmm. Let me see your back. My neck. Fine, fine. You got a pin. A pin. Yeah, a pin. Role perception. If you could tell, Jeb is not one for subtlety. Yeah. 16 Yes, you notice a JK 74 pin on their inner shirt. Yeah, they're out there. What is that? What's the Jiki 74 it? Was a gift. A gift from who? I. Don't. Know, I don't know I should. Tell you that. And I'm like, what? Why would you want?
To tell if. I should tell you that I don't know. If I. Should tell you because then, like you'd know things about me. And that's not like, you know. Look, I promise. And and Jeb puts his hand over his heart. I promise not to tell anybody out, anybody outside of our core group of the of the. I mean, I'm an auctioneer like I could I I've got a gavel. He pulls out a gavel from inside his hand. I've got my own gavel. I come, I come with it, You know it's going to be great.
Bang, bang. Sold. What? Do you want to know? I want to know that. I need a little bit of money because you know. Just to feel like. Medical stuff can't talk. About it, you know. But who gave you the pen? Scratching himself. Sorry, what? Who gave you the pen? The pen. Oh the. Pen this pen. Oh shit. And he hides it. No, it's this gift. But like you could. Pay me for it or like. Recommends me. OK, well then at least what's it stand for? What's What's Jiki 74 mean?
You'd have to. You'd have to roll Persuasion. On that one, you know. Or like, pay me for it. I'd like to lean in the jab and quietly but still loud enough for or to hear. Hey, I think I'm gonna smoke a joint right now and. Wait, what? No. Hi. Hey. What's up? You're my new friend. How's it going? Hey, you're gonna. Have a smoke? I'd really. Do you know what? You guys seem real cool. Like, hey, if I, if. If you share your joint with me. I'll tell you. Where I got this pen? Promise.
No. No jokes. You know what I mean? Hey man, I didn't kill the guy. I was all the. Way back at the thing. I just came here for an interview, man. I left all my drugs in my car. They wanted me to see how the auction went. I'm really glad Mr. Kate didn't see me because like, I am jonesing to go back to my car. My guys you guys are cool. Can I? Can I bump some of you? I'm really really. Coming down right now, I'm gonna have the joint, the jab and be like your jab. You work them over.
Wait, wait, wait no no no cuz this. Way left hand side, my brother, where are you? Going hey, cowboy? OK. Take a Take a load off my dude. And he leans against the wall. Oh. Shit. Hey, can I have a ginger ale? No, just me. OK. Oh, shit. This is good. Read right there. Easy. You. Could see him start to calm down as the weed starts. Take him over. Oh yeah, you're a. Really good friend. And you know, I had a net runner to like. I had a net runner. You run 32 on that persuasion, man.
Wow. I am. Really baked. This is really good weed. I'm not kind of high. Where I tell you the truth about anything, man. Yeah, man. I have. Difficulty with women? Haha. Well, that's all right. We all. I think that's just kind of a. I stole money from my mother. Cool. I understand. Right. I wants to I can finish. This is just for me. Yeah. Yeah. The badge, man. I got it from Jessica. Knight man. To hide my drug addiction while I was trying to look for a new job. Yeah. Oh, Jinky.
Hell yeah. 4. Yeah, that's their online handle, man. There's a bunch of ways you could have found that out as well, but you found it through me through by giving me weed. And I'm OK with that. Yeah, man. And he leans even heavier against the wall. Oh man, this is a mess. So I'm just wondering, you know, just between you and Mike. You and me. You and me, brother. What's up? Do you know if Jessica Nax got any implants or anything? No idea, man. No idea. I paid them to hide that
information like months. Ago they. Promised lockdown. Never get out. They hit it all. No one knows. I paid a lot of money for it too. I'm not going to tell you where I got the money though, No. Thanks for my mother. Don't shit. Dude, this weed is purple, man, this is crazy. I know I I also partake in cannabis. Cuz you're cool, man. Yeah. Cuz you guys go cool. Dance for chess. Yeah, dabs for Wait, what? I don't know, man. I'm just wicked Baked. Right now.
But I swear, man, I look. Over to that guy over there and he's got like a TV. For a head. Oh, no, that's that's true. He's got a TV for a. Trip he is. Fucked though, right? Yeah. And he looks very nice. He's very high now and you are. Completely confident that any question you ask him, he will tell you the truth. Literally anything. Have you seen anyone's back in this room? The neck. Their back. Oh that. Hahahaha. That crack? Yeah, man, no. Yeah, damn it.
So I'm going to go up to rain, Sinclair. Rain Sinclair is doing clap pushups. Now 1 armed and now somehow no arms. That's all core. All core. And they stand up and I own that. They are full on a foot taller than you, built like a brick shell house. Big fucking huge arms and a great rack. Hey, how's it going? As rain stands up, I'm a little intimidated and so I. Take a stumble, step back, and in the process, oops, I dropped my drink. Whoopsie. What are you intending for this to do?
Trying to see if she's got the reflexes to catch it. She does not. No, doesn't flicker. She just watches it for Butterfingers. Shit, I that ginger ale slipped right out of my hand. Well, all the drinks free. Great. Do you need anything? And they flex in front of you? No. How can I help you? You're the detective, right? Yeah, apparently I am. So how long? Long what? How long have you been seeing him? Seeing you. Do you really need me to spell it out? Do you need me to announce it?
Their mouth frowns slightly, and the red lipstick glistens in the rooms like, I don't know what you're talking about. There are a lot of people in this room who would pay a lot of money for that kind of information. Oh yeah. Is that a threat? Yeah, it is. OK, real persuasion pep. Squeaking. Don't hurt me. Don't. Hurt me? Oh my God, you've got a gun. 18 Fine. Look, I'm. I'm getting out, right? Nobody isn't what it used to be. The implants are getting old and. With the way I kill.
That's a lot of work on the body. So we took a job with Solace and we he took me to dinner and let me test some weapons and arrange and then one thing led to another and didn't beg him for a guy like that, but you know. And did he let you try out the chip, that thing? No, it's never been tested. It's never been tested the. First time it's ever been used. I mean the the original one's been out for a few months, but this new one with the timer and the fingerprint stuff that. Was.
Fucking cool. That was dope. I mean, it's not how I would kill someone. I just snapped their neck with my own bare hands. Looks like a big bare hands. Sorry. What else do you want to? Know you're just a delight. Do you know that? Thank you, I try. No, I think. You have been honest with me this entire time. We haven't had a we've had a short conversation, but you seem very genuine.
You're all high on persuasion. If you want to know anything else, like it's in my pockets if you want to know my slide aware. I don't give a fuck. I was just sitting down. I wanted to see Victor's stuff because. And they lean into you because I'm proud of him. Because like the reason why we don't want anyone to know is because we just kind of really like each other. And then? If that gets out, then it gets into the public and everyone will know.
And then we have to have like a stupid famous people name and then everyone knows about your relationship and it can really really like drive you apart because you can never spend any time together. So Victor said he got rid of the the footage of us at that bar and no one found out. The footage of you at the bar. Yeah, well, we stupidly met in public and there was footage in the bar, even though the bar said that they were like, discreet. And so Victor said he got. Rid of it.
And you trust Victor? After what we've now together, yeah. What do you know about Jessica? Jessica Night. Not a lot. Not really. Really Matter. She's like a hacker or something. All right. Do you have any clues in your pockets? I mean, other than the fact that you basically uncovered the fact that I'm having an affair with Victor Solace. No. And I would appreciate if you could keep. That A. If that ended up happening to like some kind of news report or something, that would be bad.
I lose my job. Don't worry, your secret safe with me, OK? Your blackmail safe? I mean your. Secret safe with me. Jeb, don't you use that And I leave, So do we have left the collector? And Jessica? Jessica, yes, darling, Hi. What's up, Doc? That's Doctor Vivian. Thank you. Oh, I'm sorry. And Jessica gets up, leaning on her cane and puts out her hand. Charmed, I'm sure. Yes. So what is it that you do, Jessica? What's your your occupation? You're a net runner or something?
Yes, dialing. I'm a net runner and I get information, I hide information and I get you done. Baby, any information on our poor victim here, Gabriel? My darling. I've never really interacted with the man, but let's just say I know a few people in the. Room all the people with those pins. Oh, and look at you being inside that. Wait, Hunter's here. I mean, oh, Hunter's here. She looks across. The Mirror. Hi. I didn't know you were coming, little bitch. So is Hunter trying you and
Hunter you both have a history. Of sorts, no. No, I just know where they are. What did you want to know? I want to know what the deal with the pins. Why are you handing out these pins to everybody? What are they? Real persuasion, darling. 18, I suppose. Well, let's just say if you ever
need a little net running help. Now that you can always rely on me, and every one of my satisfied customers gets a little pin with a guarantee that anything I do for them will be completely secret, and I go to great lengths to make that happen. Darling, don't you worry. And I didn't see one of these pins on Gabriel that correct. When I examined the body, I did not. See one on Gabriel now. Okay. Well, yes. So you have a lot of clientele here in the room. Oh, do I?
Yes, Aura. I'd never say, but if they want to show and tell, that's up to them, baby. Just trying to think what? Else kind of persuasion is a higher role, honey, yes. Perhaps you can tell me which one of these clients that you have. Seems I don't know the most off to you. You know, most between us. Yeah, like. I mean, for my money, me. I mean, I was invited. Victor was invited. Gabriel was invited. Rain was invited. The Collector.
That or a guy was here, I think. What was that, some kind of job interview or something? Hunter, on the other hand, snuck in here, apparently dressed as a bar person. And the bad one of that, Yes. And you didn't see Hunter around throughout the evening, right? They were just tied. I was looking at Mr. Kerrigan. When I turned to my left, I saw a dead head on the ground. I wasn't even looking. I turned my head when I heard the explosion.
I wasn't staring at his back when I had to look at Gabriel Steele. Who gives a fuck about rumors? Rumors mean nothing to me. It's information that I give a fuck about. Solid evidence. Not just something somebody said. Do you need anything else, honey? That's all for now, Jessica. Thanks for the insight and input. And she winces as she sits down, takes out a bottle of pills and slips one in her mouth and closes the bottle and puts it back in. I reconvene. So what?
Did everybody find anything? Hey, no Latency listeners, it's Spoon. I play Jeb here on No Latency, but I also produce the brand new show, System Switch, and it's called System Switch because every few episodes we take our same beloved characters and throw them into a completely new universe in the form of a new role-playing game. We'll go from steampunk to cyberpunk, from fantasy to scifi, from romantic comedy to dark comedy, from D&D to Call of Cthulu and everything in between.
So join us on our romp through the multiverse by searching for System Switch on your favorite podcasting app. Raids Queen. Yeah, I don't think Gavel did it, but they're having a great time over there. So if you guys, I mean, we've got more questions for them, just let me know when I can. I can go give them a mask. It's hard to say. I don't know if Jessica also had much of A motive. She works with a lot of the people here. All those pins that we saw.
That means that they have hired Jessica for their net running services. So. So wait, who? Who hired Jessica Hunter? Victor, right? Aura, right. Not our victim, though. Right. Well, does Hunter have to hide? Hunter, out of everybody seems the most suspicious. They arrived without many people seeing they snuck in, allegedly. Clearly they were upset that they got rejected. Not saying it's them, I'm just saying right now things pin the most to them, but. I. Have a different query.
Jessica Knight is supposedly a net runner. A very good net runner, one that hides the secrets, correct? Yes. Which we understand that out of the three two of those secrets Steele had and Steele did not work directly with Jessica. Yes. So if Steele had that information, then that would probably make Jessica look very bad. In doing their job. Oh, cuz that episode's unreleased. But without solid evidence, how we gonna pin it on anyone? Yeah. Was it just me, or was Jessica in pain?
Could I see what the drugs are that I saw as I was seeing her take a that that drug was. Could I have maybe taken a glance at if it was a painkiller or some other sort of drug? Role perception. You did not notice the pill? No, cuz you're all to 14 -, 6. What do we know about this mysterious spine San Devastin? Yeah, the San Devastin, What do we know about that? It is a neural Ware implant.
It is, and to get one you have to undergo an extreme operation involving your spine, and it does usually give you extreme reaction times, extreme boosts of energy. Sometimes you are not yourself. Does it give you pain after you use it? It could have some side effects to that degree, yes. And I imagine you're probably not meant to use it while you're recovering, correct?
If it was something that was recently installed, there is a recovery period that you're supposed to be resting and the cane keeping them standing up straight because it's a spinal operation. Well, can we get any more data on on like medical records or something? We could give our friend Sawtooth a call or. Somebody. Hello Sawtooth, how's it going? Hi. Hi, how's it going? I'm just, hey, sanitizing things for the third time today.
Shiny Sawtooth. You have a good, you have a good the record of clientele, and you probably have a lot of medical records and things of people. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Very much so. I I don't share that information. Yes, the HIPAA laws and everything. Exactly. Yeah, unless you like me. Well, you know that us as a group, we bring you a lot of business, a lot of business. I mean, we feel like we've been seeing you like every every session, really. Or every other week.
Right. Yeah, I mean you. Fuckers do get had a lot Remy with his addiction. How is your addiction there Remy are? You doing well. Clear as a. Whistle. Right. Good weed. That's fine. Don't care. Yes. Continue VB. Sorry, we are willing to give you whatever you need a little extra. Yeah, no, no, I'll break my models for 200 Eddies. Just throw those three. Who? Who do you want to know about? What? Do you want to know about? What do you want to know?
I've got your back. We're looking up some things about, oh, you. You'll love this one, San Devastin. Oh the. Fuck me. Oh yeah, yeah. No, fantastic. And like any like patient names. That I should know about a Jessica Knight net runner? Jessica Knight, Net runner. Oh, Jessica. No, no, I saw her at the. Club last week. It's really cool. I got a video. You want to see they're showing me this new dance. Oh wow. Yeah, she's really got moves. Yeah, she's looking pretty. Dumb.
This is the full splits. No. Oh oh wow. You have everything, don't you? Yeah, I know she. Showed me this. Cool. Like Jake? That she can do it was pretty cool. But I I mean, I can look. Up some records. Role for that, though, what shall I roll? What are we? I like how the GIF has jiggle physics. Thank you, damn titties stuff. Are you saying this is some sort of persuasion or as a? Whatever you want to roll to get a tiny bit more information, you already got one clue. 15 Yes? Good.
Yes. You gain a little bit of oh, yes, no, I found some medical records. Turns out Jessica went to a doctor recently. Let's see, Medical. Please do not. There you go. I'll send it through. Oh, did. You get it. Oh, good. And I got my money. Thank you very much. Did up 200 eddies from your bank account Please be the I'm in debts. And paying more debts. Anything else? Salivisions are pretty dangerous. Looks like, I don't know, a serious amount of pain involved
in that. Yes, yes, it usually, I mean it's a spinal implant, It's. The patient should be taking the anti rejection meds probably every hour right? They usually are like a pink and teal. Pink and white. Sorry, Yellow. And white is the color of that pill, yellow and white. Yellow and white, yes, yes, You know, if you're looking at the sort of the general. Of the area, if you're not paying attention, every drug looks pink and sort of a teal green. If you really pay attention, the
colors become apparent if you. Didn't roll a crit fail earlier? Damn. So you have to like. Identify that so you can get. Your hands on that. That's an important to know, I see. I mean, if this patient got a stand of his again, then they'll be taking that white and yellow. I see. Well, I feel like this is very helpful. Thank you, Sawtooth. Yes, you're very. See you later. Hopefully not. Don't get hurt. Bye. Well, I think that gives us a pretty good lead on this.
The question is why? Why would she do it? Because Steel was going to leak the information that Jessica supposedly quote UN quote hid, right? So that sounds like motive enough for me, I would agree. Motive is motive is motive. That's our motive. We have evidence at least to approve, to prove that Jessica got Sandeviston installed. Perhaps I can take a closer look at their meds. If we can get their meds, we can prove that they're taking the proper meds for the recovery
process. Yeah, just to confirm and and we know that someone with a Sandeviston. Killed Steel, yes. That we do. Doc, I have an idea. Follow me, I. Beat her up. I'm just kidding. Tell us what you know. We're gonna head back over to Jessica. I'm gonna sit down on my joint. Hey, how are you today? I'm OK. You seem like you're in immense amount of pain. That grimace on your face just does not want to go away. No, no. This is just resting Grimmage face. This is the face I make all the
time. I get that. I can't get that. It is pretty impressive, but I could just tell that you just seem to be well. A little hobbled. Perhaps baby? Well, I had my back. Blown out last night. More ways than one. He was an animal. Do you see aura over there? See how cheaper they are compared to how terrible they were beforehand. Oh yes, baby. I got something that might help. What would you if you want to take a drag? We're all persuasion. A lot of people have been killed
recently. I want to make sure you're not killing me. I mean, this might actually just kill that terrible mood of yours, but all right. Oh, everyone loves an attitude. 16 two, yeah, they. Grab the joint from you and take a puff. I'll really get it in and I'll pat them on the back really hard. Sorry. So sorry. Ow, that's great. Fucking awesome. Thank you for that. Take this away from me. Apologies, so sorry, I didn't
mean. That maybe you should find someone else to talk to. I'm done with you now ow. And they get up and hobble away with their cane. Sorry about that. I don't like it. Let me hold on, hold on. So we're pretty sure that she did it right, but we're not sure if she was doing it for herself or paid by somebody, right? Do you have to roll Human perception? I would like to actually ask if I can roll perception. Sure. Because I want. To see you learn nothing.
You're all a crip fail -8 -, 6. Yeah, you have a feeling that broccoli is involved. I. Want to see if I could have noticed potentially the cyberware when patting their back. Raw Perception 16 Yes. Sixteen's low in this, in this case, and I think what you do notice is Hunter Chen staring down you and Jessica. And a little bit of sweat pours
down their brow. OK, so I have very, very strong feeling about this, that they probably do have that cyberware, but 100 keeps giving me the fucking stink eye and I'm not liking that whatsoever. She looks over at both of you when you grab eye contact with her. She turns away and continues cleaning her. Do we confront them? Yeah, I said we would just blame them. I just blame Hunter. Yeah, in. Front of them, tell them we're gonna out them there. In front of everybody.
Tell them that Jessica told us everything and that they're the one who did it. Could try that, that kind of tactic and see how they react to it. It's an option. Or, I don't know, I feel like could could we just go to Kerrigan with this evidence and just tell them who we think it is? No problem with that. I mean, that's Kerrigan's gonna be the one that you know. Pulls the metaphorical trigger or you know, literal trigger. I don't know how he does it.
I do think Hunter maybe is could, you know, we could confront Hunter. I don't know. Maybe they have more info that could help us pin it down on Jessica. Or maybe they were complicit or something. I don't know. They are kind of suspicious. Or did they hire Jessica? Maybe. Because aside from Jessica, they're the only one who didn't have anything that. Still knew. That's right. That's really that's really observant of you, Retro. Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on. I'm not ready for for clue music. I need. I need dumbed down for me. Jevadiah, when we went through all of when we went through the chip and we heard the episode, who did we hear had dirt on them? He snubbed the collector. He knew about the. Affair between Pain and Victor, and he knew about the drug addiction of Aura. So did he talk about? He was talking about broccoli. Wait, no, sorry, Just keep
getting that in my head. Could it be possible that Hunter set up Steel and told Jessica what was happening? Oh, Hunter with the pen. That says Jackie 74 is the one that got Jessica to kill Steele. Because Steele was. Going to get on to it now. Oh my God. Play the cue music, the clue music. It's all coming together. Oh my God. Clear as day. There wasn't. Any brothel? Involved. No, none whatsoever. This isn't a vegetable plant, so it was Hunter. It was just tonight, yeah.
Both of them together working together to kill Gabriel. So how are we going to confront them? I don't know. We Why do we have to do it? Why don't we just get the Why don't we get Mr. Kerrigan to do it? I am. Like, call him downstairs that if we confront them, they might get hostile. You know those Saints, Everston's, You never know. So. Bendel takes out that gun. Then we get to have a fight. We could probably be on the same side, the same amount. We haven't found any Saints Coke.
I threw it out the window, remember. I know, that's what I'm saying. Fuck. Well, surely, like we have to. I think we just go tell Garrigan. OK, I have. This court to people's justice. Yeah, right. I'll call. I'll call him down. Said he'd be here in 5 minutes. Gather everyone in the auction room for the reveal, :) emoji. I think he wants us to get like, get people to sit down and this. Is going to be an announcement
to everybody. So you've got a few minutes to gather everyone to seats etc, OK. Everyone, please, if you could just take your seats, we're gonna we're going to get done with this pretty soon. Investigations coming to a close. No, we don't know exactly who it is yet, but we're gonna have Mr. Geragon handle this. It's all right. Just please sit down. If someone wants to help, just cause sit. Obviously they're in a bit of pain. Sorry about that.
Thank you, honey. And if someone could go ahead and just wake up or or seems like they're about to pass out. Broccoli. Well. OK what is happening I. Didn't do it, Nobody sent me to it. Can't prove anything. No, we didn't see it. So you're under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder. Mr. Carrigan isn't here and. Jeff Mr. Carrigan isn't here yet, darling. Oh, we can't. But I was kind of hoping to do the whole like arrest but. Well, no, I think he's going to
get you guys. No, no, no, no. It's fine. It's fine. Good gumption, good gumption. Thank you. Mendel grabs Hunter Chen and drags them to a seat in the front and plops them down in the front row. In the various things that have happened over this evening, the body has been moved to the stage along with the head, which has been graciously leant against the body. A retro or anyone? Does anyone want to say anything before Mr. Kerrigan arrives? We got you, bitch God.
Damn, it's just. Certainly a thing. Mr. Kerrigan walks in and stands at the podium. Ah, yes, yeah. I have how to say, you know, I've come from the upstairs. I got the message. You solved the mystery, Yeah. Oh. Yes, we have. All right. Well, as you know the most impartial according to records and you know everything's been confirmed by security, you're going to explain your evidence so that there is no doubt. Yes, like in the show. Yes, do. You watch the show as well. Not now.
We're not taking questions after. And this is the big reveals what you're saying. That is what we are looking for. I mean, if we're going to have a murder, at least let it be traumatic. All right, Who's going to? Who's going to lay it out? Vivian, you seem like you knew the most. I can start and then. Well, you'll add along. Yes. Oh man, I don't even know how to start this whole thing. Well, we, the detectives have talked to all of you about the incident that happened tonight.
And first of all, upon examination, forensic examination of the body, we were able to conclude that this was in fact a murder via the killswitch. Chip. Oh, did you find it? We found that upon looking further at the footage of what happened, there was a flash of green light, as if something happened in a flash right before the murder.
And upon looking further at this, it could be very clear that somebody who has the ability to move at inhuman speeds would have been able to take action right before the death. Perhaps somebody who is able to get a certain neural implant, known as a Sandevastin. Jessica Knights shifts in her seat, but so does Rain Sinclair.
You see, for those who don't know, San Devastins are a type of implants that they do usually are spinal in nature, but they do allow you to have extremely inhuman reaction times, allow you to move very fast, and can be very dangerous. And it seems that our poor Gabriel Steel may have fallen victim to somebody with a San Devastin. After talking to a few of you, I do know that the procedure of a Sandefestin implant can be quite a toll on the body. It can leave you in recovery for weeks.
Usually you aren't able to walk, unless of course you have something to help you walk, depending on how long, how long ago the particular surgery was. So if it was recent, you probably wouldn't be able to walk normally. You might need a cane to help you walk. Jessica and the collector tensor. What? No, honest, I I don't. I don't have. I have a neural link for my agent and I didn't do oh shit. Also, if you are recovering from the surgery, you do have to usually take medicine of some
sort, a anti pain drug. I haven't taken any drugs tonight, so guess not. Me. You, Jessica. You have. Looks like you have been in a lot of pain. When Remy Oh my gosh, why can't I? Think it's Remulus Remingus? Remingus when Remingus came over and gave you a gentle pat on the back again. But Remingus is not the strongest gentle. Pat It seems like it hurts. Yeah, it did. And I saw you take a certain pain Med and carrying a cane.
It seems like somebody here might have had a San Devastin install in the past few days even. I But, oh, Jessica, that can't be all you. You couldn't have just decided to do this without I. Don't kill things exactly, exactly, but you, Hunter. What? Me. You have reason, and you've worked with our darling Jessica before. You who snuck into this shindig
this evening. The one person who didn't have an invite, who just mosied their way on in, happened to have an alibi, of course, of being at the bar all night. But you know that she wanted to be on Rumor 54 up and coming media, right? Yeah. She smacks her black lipstick lips. I did, but Gabriel Steele, they're the one that got the part. Yeah, not you. No. Roll the face off. Pull up reputation plus one D10 plus one D10.
Your outfit as a brain surgeon gives you plus one to your reputation for this evening, because you did roll really high at the beginning of this adventure. That role has come into fruition in this moment. Nice. Thirteen. Oh, I rolled A4. Not bad, but not as good as you. Hunter Chen is not as famous as you appear to be, right? This evening, in front of this entire room they snuck in, they're kind of a nobody. Got a really small blog. It's got under a few 1000 followers.
She's not well known. You see her go bright red in the face. Jessica, you said this would get to be smooth. You said it'd be the story of the century, you fucking bitch. Oh, baby. Jessica gets up. You hear this as she gets up. She throws the cane up, grabs it in the middle and spins it round her hand and places it back down and. I would have gotten away with it too. That went for these pesky. Kids. Oh, let's get her. Well, for initiative
next time on no latency. No, just the jib is an idiot. I'm sure you found that out already. Who saw that coming? Oh shit. Send Evison. I'm burning up. I'm flaming. Holy fuck, we got to put out the flames. You got the little hose? Shit. You're right. Whoa. Hey, careful, y'all's got me. Dang, they got it out for retro. Why wouldn't they go after me? I'm smoking after all. Great job, Vendel. Took me like an hour to make it does. Kind of seem like campers, though. Don't. He does.
He does seem like a cat person. Put the collector down and we can figure this out. Alcohol is very flammable. You all right, Retro. It's OK. I'll go in and I'll try to grab the collector and get him out of there. I'll do a stop, drop and roll with the hug involved. Amazing. Oh, Solar Plex. Is instep nose groin sing? Yeah. That's what you get for putting your body through that bitch. Oh, it's hot. Thanks. That's all that's. That's who. That is a hooey.
