Last time on no latency. Is this it? Is this the moment where I feared my entire life? Well, don't sound so excited about it, Beebe. Maybe. If it was one of you can check for blood. Can an electronic device truly die? If the battery runs out. See now this is where you come in handy. Beebe, that's your department. OK, I'm going to just pull the chip out. Put some gloves on 1st. Can you check the porta potty if there's a body in there? There was nobody in the Porta potty.
That's true. There was nobody in the Porta potty. Shall I just say that we're candidates then? Let the record show that this pretty much was a theater. Is this oh? Shit, we're back in school. If everyone could please take your seats. Well, I am going to sit front and center. Listen, I I'm always in the back of the class, so that's where I'm going to be. All right, heads down. Your test begins now.
There is a loud noise, an electronic beep noise, the sorts that would start an exam and then you hear a voice and on each of your screens appears a bunch of 3D blocks and a little 3D manipulation piece of software. Arrange these blocks so that they fit in this space. OK, Square, square hole. Circular Circular. Holes. Triangle 10 over sin by 90° divided by the diameter. What's the area inside? I think it's the flat of the place. Oh, this is definitely it. I know talking during the
testing, sorry. Sorry, what? I, I I still haven't rolled. Oh. Sorry, I started cleaning my nails. What would you like to roll Vendo? I don't know. Everyone else seemed to roll education. Oh, you know what? I don't like that for you. I didn't. I didn't roll education. Oh. No, but it I've still got a block left. Time's up. Oh no, Vendale. Did you fail? No, shut up. I mean, it's fine. I I I failed. I didn't know what to do with this triangular one, no.
Me neither. Please solve these five math equations as quickly as possible 4 + 2. 4 + 2. 6. 6. 7 * 12. 143. 42 + 74 / 3. 7. 6 * 9 in parentheses +9. Can that be repeated? You see the option to repeat the the last math question on the screen. I press repeat. 6 * 9 in brackets +9. 63. 14 ^2. 196. Time's up. Time's. Up. I'm so glad I'm not taking this test. I don't. Understand this. That was really bad. I'm really bad at math, am I? Yes, I am.
And he rolled to 16 Retro. How did you do on that question? Are we going with the first row or the 2nd row? First one. We only, we only you're the only one that rolled twice. I mean, I feel confident. That's why I've got this brain blessed. Do you join right now? A trolley is racing down a track. Oh no, if it. Continues in its direction. It will kill one of your friends and or a family member. On the other track are five people you don't know. Do you change the direction?
Yes or no? I hate the trolley problem. Or as an easy one, yeah. There is no correct answer. I blow the wheels off the trolley. Yes or no? Wait, which one's Yes is yes? Change the track and kill 5 people and keep my my loved ones laugh or or is no. Do that yes or no? Yes. But but which? Which track has the five people? I want to kill the five people. Well, it's it's who. It's going to hit your friend if you don't change it. So if. You change it, yes. OK, I think I jumped in front of
the train. That's not an option. I killed the five people all. Right. Fuck Em. I really hate this these kinds of questions because it's not logic, it's just there is no right answer here. It's more philosophy really. Yes, Time. Stop. Does the end justify any means necessary? Yes or no? What kind? Of test is. This. Oh, that's a no. Yes. Secretly answers yes. Yes, I think yes. Phoebe, did you answer yes? I'm not telling you, OK?
I mean, yeah. I peek over my computer towards Phoebe's. Hey, no cheating. Hey, no cheating Proctor. Time's up. Not cheating. He was looking. Using my resources do not. Interrupt the exam. Sorry. What is life answer with one sentence only? Laughs a bitch. And then you die. A good time. Biology. Wow, you did. You really went overboard there. They they asked for an entire sentence. You just you gave them one word. Friendship. The period of birth to death.
Only one answer will be accepted. The exam is completed. Thank you and. On the screen Iona, you see the results of the exam. Vendel got equal points and you can assign them to either the Abbott Lab or to Thermal. Retro is assigned to Abbott, Jeb is assigned to the Thermal Lab and V is assigned to the Abbott Lab, but with a high grade does. That mean I did the best? Who scored? Top Proctor.
I'm not at liberty to say the. Computer prints out a pass for each person who took an exam, listing except Vendel because you haven't chosen. Jeb is assigned to Thermal. Retro and VV have been assigned to Abbott, but VV has been assigned to Abbott plus one. Wait, A. Minute these are grapes. How am I supposed to know who I did bitter at? Well, I mean, I guess Vivi obviously because they got plus one. Well, they're pretty good. Vendel 2 with thermal with Jeb.
A little logo appears next to Vendel's exam ID number that says inadequate and they get assigned to thermal. You notice next to Jeb's name, it also says inadequate. I wish I'd seen that before I assigned. Do I? Does Jeb see that? No. OK, good. Dang it. Well, Judd needed a buddy. How did I do? Is thermal good? It means we're on fire. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I mean. I don't see anything wrong with that statement I think. You'll be OK. Yeah, you're really heating it up in here.
Well, you're. God damn rat. And I give I give Vandella High 5. Yeah, I love high fives, friendship, smack. Yeah, all. Right. Just because you got thermal Lab and we got Abbot, I mean, you don't need to Lord that over us. Jeez. Everyone takes a pass and the computer prints out a Procter pass. I think you I was just about to ask does it have a location? Abbot. OK, so I hand out everybody's passes.
I guess this does mean we're splitting the party, but I I vendel I did put you with Jeb so that Jeb wouldn't feel alone. OK. Sorry, Jeb. What? Nothing. All right. All right. Well. I suppose we go through the next door. I suppose we didn't really check any of the doors behind us. There are doors behind us. Yeah, there was a door in the hallway to the South, and then there was that locked door to the north. I just kind of went straight into the exam room.
Oh, there is a door back in the hallway. Looks like an empty room with some lockers. Roll perception. I will percept. Thank you. Was I right GM? Are they lockers? They are lockers. Stuff You search the lockers. This small room smells a little of bleach. On top of the crate you find an unactivated drone, and now that it's not covered in blood, you notice that it's mainly they seemingly designed for cleaning. And there are three in here. Now you roll pretty high on
perceptions. You notice that there's something stuck in the one near the crate, but it is deactivated. All three of the ones you found in here are not on I. Will pull the thing from the drone that is deactivated. It is another chip. Oh, oh, Jeb, give me your tile. Oh, all right. All right. And I I do the thing that I saw Remy do where I break open the back and I take the previous chip out. And I. Here you go, Jeb. You can have this. We don't need it anymore. I put this chip in.
I'm on my way to oil rig M5 for some secret lab project. Hopefully I'll find out more when I get there. I've managed to sneak my way into a recruitment process. It wasn't easy, but I'm on a boat and I'm on my way. This is going to be the biggest story ever. I mean, I don't really like water or boats, but there's something fishy about that place. I know it. I've got a covert recording system and some spare chips in case anybody catches me so I can
offload the data. This might be the story. It takes me to the big time. GM Can I send these audio recordings to fresh P? You pull out your tile and discover that you have no signal. I should have known. Well, does that mean anything to
you, Jeb? No, I mean it does mean one thing and that apparently they had a snitch or a a journalist or something in here and maybe that was the person who died and say we haven't found their body yet or maybe we did but they were just disintegrated or something. Maybe. Well, I I do believe that we should probably be on the lookout for more of these chips since it sounds like they did offload data.
Right. And then with that data, we can go and and publish the story ourselves and then make money. Oh, by selling the story to the news people. April, yeah. April. There you are. Great idea voice, is it? Sorry, what? It's not April's voice. No, it's not April's voice. No, no, we'd recognize their voice. No, no. Yeah, of course not anymore. GM I didn't follow the rest of the group. I went and checked out that electronic door lock. What do I see? What? Are you doing?
You know, maintenance. What do I see? You find a little console next to a door that says security one. Was there like a swipe card thing and something like that? Yep. OK, take the Roach of my joint and I rub it on the inside of the magnetic strip. Roll for it. You bet your bonnet I will you. Bet your. Bonnet crit. 34 jeez. Oh. Shit joint never fails so. I'm going to tell you right now, this door was a 24 to unlock so the door clicks open.
You get the feeling that this was really really hard to do while you are messing around with the joint. Your cyber hand also sent a spark into the machine and it pops open. Hey. The door shudders slightly and the crate near the door shuffles towards a sofa in the room. Well, perception. That sounds ominous, but OK. Perception 15.
So as you enter the room you see that there are a bunch of sofas for waiting, 2 vending machines full of food and beverages, as well as a few bandages and a packet of chisnas snaps. But the other thing you see is an air vent in the bottom southwest corner of this room. Call. Well, my interest is piqued. Let me let me take a look what's what's in there? I heard some shuffling. You open up the vent and you can see inside there's enough room for you to squeeze through, but just you.
It's about as wide as a human. OK, there's a little voice inside me telling me no, but the weed is telling me yes. OK, let's see. All right, let's start crawling through. And this is really tight. Be honest though, this vent is extremely clean. As you get near the other end, a little door opens. As you find that there's a vent behind the Proctor desk, you found a little path from security one to the exam room. Hey. That's pretty cool and only I get that knowledge. And nobody else knows.
I'm gonna head back in. Let me see if there's anything else. Is that I see another door over here. Metro. Where'd you go? Metro. I'm right here. Wait, what? How did you what? Did you just miss me going by? I I OK, I guess, yeah. Took some practice, got some, got some stealth moves now. All right. Well, thanks for opening the door, Retro, what's in here? There's a bunch of couches. I'm not. I'm not going near those anymore. Oh, it's like a it's like a lion or something.
Also, is anyone else kind of skeeves by the fact there ain't like nobody here. Well, I hadn't considered it until now. It is kind of weird, I mean, yeah. Yeah, down here in the lower decks, because there were people up above. Were there? Yeah, we had to sneak past them, Jeb. We we threw people in a locker. Right. Yeah, Metal Gear Solid style metal. Gear Solid Style Vivi. Are you looking around? I am, yes. RAW Perception 21, Yes, Vivi, you're standing next to a locked
door. It looks like it has a lot of security on it, and as you're sort of scratching your head looking at this computer, you notice that behind the crate on the N wall there is an air duct vent. You. Pull the crate aside. Yeah. Does it look like a person can fit through this? It does look like a person could fit through that. What you thinking, Vivi? One of us small people without big TV's for heads could maybe go through this this. Is. Normally me do you get it? Like when yes.
You know what? I'll volunteer this time. Woo Go V don't die. Thanks for taking point. Oh oh boy, this is like this has given me, you know, I I'm afraid of elevators because of claustrophobia. And now I'm going through a vent. As you get down to the end of the vent, you make your way into security too. You're on the other side of the door and there's a door release button on the wall. I will release the door. The door unlocks. Oh, hi. Yeah, that was pretty easy.
Hey, you did. It you did. You did. You did an Ellie. Yes. That was a that was a Last of Us joke. Very, very. I get it. It's a really old reference. Yeah, I know. I What can I say? I love the classics. All right. Another vendit? What's in this one? Looks like some Gisner snaps. Gisner snaps in all of these. A sedative and some ammo. Well, you never know when you can need a sedative, so I'll grab that. It's 20 Eddies. Poof. Oh, high price, but all right. Well, why don't you try to
fonzie it? Yes, Jeb, you're good at that, right? Or was it retro, what have you? Can one of you like, smack this thing a little bit and maybe it'll knock the sedative down and I don't have to pay 20 Eddies? You're muted, Retro. I was just holding in my excitement. You know what? Hey, Vendel, come here. OK. I'm going to teach you how to do the Fonzay. Really. Yeah. Check it out. All you do is you just got to feel for the right spot, right?
And when you feel that sweet, sweet spot, right where, you got to knock it. Give it a good pair and it'll open all gifts to you. OK, let me give it a shot and hold on. I rolled a 20 and. They put their fists through the keypad. Oh, and ammo drops. The sedative drops the jizz and the snaps drop. The ammo falls on them and crushes them into dust, and then the sedative falls in. Oh shit, maybe that was a bit too strong.
You know what? I'm going to be honest with you, Vindo. You're a natural. Thanks, this is a new room. Should we look around? Jeb like walks over to what seems to be a big window. Hey guys, I think we're on the other side of the giant screen that we were watching that pre test video last episode. So there would have been people on this side, but there's nobody here. No. Raw Perception 15 Yes, that is just enough. Behind the desk you find a dead man.
Oh, oh, oh, gosh. Oh well, you found someone. Let me check his his vitals and you know, see if I can see how long he's been dead and cause of death. I run over there and I sniff. Oh. That's not 13. That's not great. Don't roll great. But it's fairly easy to see what happened to him because half of his face is missing. Something exploded the left hemisphere of his brain. Oh my, does it look internal or something? Like did something jump on his face and explode him?
Or is it something internal that exploded him? You didn't roll high enough to know. Shoot. What do you smell, Jeb? Oh my God. You smell the air and you smell this sort of distinctive coolant smell and then just a hint of some kind of explosive charge and it seems like something was inside his brain and exploded outwards. I almost smell like a like a coolant. Is that like like engine coolant or something? Maybe explosive coolant? What is explosive coolant?
I don't know, but it kind of smells like whatever was inside his brain. Well. He's on the outside now. It might have been an internal explosion then. Like a hemorrhaging. Something was. I was trying to use medical talk. Yes, good job Jeb. It could have been like a hemorrhaging. Yes, something in put in his brain that caused it to explode. Because the hemorrhage would not cause your face to explode like this. So I don't. Yeah, something. Also this guy, universal donor.
Right now. What is this whole blood blood type sensing thing and new like? I'm not sure if Jeb actually into. It it's Jeb's superpower. Before he could, he could regrow limbs and things. And now I I guess he smells blood types. Yeah, it's. I pretty much get the worst. We haven't actually checked if he can actually do this though, which is kind of going on his word. There's a street gang called the Philharmonic Vampires. They are people who would probably very much enjoy your
skills. I might have to go talk to him. Yes, I don't think that's a very good idea, Chip. It's making a little extra cash, you know. Baby, you notice the computer on the desk is on. Do I see I'm going to just quickly examine and see if I see anything on the computer that doesn't require passwords and
shit? Yep, you see on the screen that this person was in the middle of writing a report and on the screen it says candidate tried to escape, had evidence of thermal facility shot on sight, and next to the keyboard is an audio chip. Oh, an audio chip. We should try to play this. Say it, Tracy. Retro, can you play this? Make a chip. Do it, Jeb. I'm using this tile in case it has a virus. Don't tell it, Jeb. Yep, Can you can you play this? Oh, just just stick it in here. Yes. All right.
I managed to talk to one of the guards before I started my entrance exam. Yeah, there's an entrance in exam for this and you get put into two different pockets. Thermal power or the Abbott lab itself. They swear that there's a thermal vent down here, but that seems very unlikely. But the place seems to have power, so maybe it happened, but I'm already suspicious. This place is too clean. Way too clean. It's almost like nobody lives here. Wait, are there living quarters down here?
I haven't seen any yet. Yeah, I thought this was a place of business, not a not a dormitory. Well, I mean, it's an underwater lap. I would assume that they'd have to sleep somewhere. Hey. Maybe they slept on the couches? This is getting more and more weird. By the 2nd. OK, we've got a practically empty bio lab underwater with a supposed thermal vent, robots that are eating people to clean, and people with their brain exploding from the inside out. Well, I I don't think that the
robots are eating people. I also don't think the robots are eating people. Jeb eats people, but but not the robots. I'm basing this off theory, by the way. Robots are disposing of bodies except this one. Why not this one? Maybe they couldn't get in. I'm a pat down the body, see if I found anything. You find a bloody 50 Eddie Bill and some ammo. OK, I'll go with the other ammo I found. Nice. He's gonna win. Sucks.
Yeah, I mean, it's just trash. But he has a gun, so that could be the potential shooter from earlier. Maybe not. Not not crossing it out yet. That's what it said in the report. Yeah, so just the two of them done here. Seems like there should be more. Well, the computer in the other room said. What did it say? No candidates expected. Maybe they just haven't had anybody come down here in a while. Yeah. Seems so efficient, but I'll accept it. Should we keep?
Looking around if there's anywhere else to look. I mean, I think we just need to keep going forward. Yeah, let's. Stay on our toes, eyes in the back of our head. Nose leads the way. OK. Nose leads the way. The nose, Nose. Well, if you say so. Take a lead, jab, aye. I.
Jeb, do you need some help here? I think hold on if I could maybe you know I'm thinking what I'm thinking is if there's a if there have been Vance that leave it that lead into the other rooms maybe there's a vent around here got try to catch catch us you know across breeze check. Check behind any crates because the last one was hidden behind a crate. I don't see no crates, but maybe one of these? Phoebe, we're over here. Oh, sorry, I'm just, I'm just wondering.
In in an incredibly spooky facility on your own. Terrible idea. Remember Buddy system? Come back? Yes. South's a bit. We're over here. There you are. Hi. Hi. Retro. Retro, have you got that door yet? Yeah, do I just scan my pass? I guess. If it doesn't work I have the the Proctor pass. I'll put my Abbot pass on on the door. It pings. Hey, pings are good. Oh, I want to do it too. Bendell's pings. Everyone. I'll do mine. Oh yeah, who? Who?
An Iona is last to do so, and it's Iona's pass that pops open. The door slides open a little rustily. I could probably use some WD50 on that. Roll Perception, Jeb. You roll a 23 crit plus one, and you can smell the slightly warm coolant of the drones As you listen a little closer, you can hear them clicking in the hallway ahead of you. I'm. Just damn, cleaning drones I smell. It's that same cool that I smelled inside of that man's
head. Do you think a do you think a drone popped out of that man's head? Why would it? Because it wanted to get out. I think they're a bit big for that, Jeb. Maybe they grow. That would be creepy. Not grapier than some of the other stuff we've been up to. Can you can you smell how many drones are in there, Jeb? 1238 No Wait No 27. OK. Yeah, I can't do. I don't. Believe them. I mean, look, Jeb. 27 I was scared. Jeb could be right.
I mean, we haven't seen any drones aside from that one bloody one who knows how they're able to reproduce. Oh, you weren't with us. There were three deactivated ones. Oh well then Chad, what are you talking about? You saw 3D activated ones. How are they going to fit into the head? Well, maybe they were inside the head, but they're cleaning
drones. There's a reason that those ones were clean because they've been outside of people's heads for so. Long they didn't have such a dirty mind, they wouldn't have to clean your head. Oh. God. Nice one Zing. Thank you. I got one. That was a good one. You did get one. All right. So what you're saying, Jeff, is you smell more than one drone in there? Well, yeah. Well then, should should we be cautious? I mean, we should always be cautious.
So are we going to be stealthy or are we going to go in and be like, fuck you, you're a drone. How? How do we be stealthy? I mean, the last one died in one shot, so I don't see why we can't go in there and start blasting. True. What did you say, BAE? I said. We could try to be. I don't know how we would be stealthy. Well, if we just act like we belong here, like we have been doing, we. Should OK. It did work for us previously. We are cleaning drones, right? I think so, right?
I have an idea. Make a mess. I pull out a couple packets of crushed Gisner snaps from Vendel's Fonzay. Oh, did you grab those? I did. I grabbed, yeah, I grabbed that and the ammo I was going to get the the sedative, but Baby was too quick and wow, OK, I see something. You see something? What did you see, Retro? I see a lot of cleaning droids and a big hefty ball where the ball is. You see a sort of a cluster of hovering swarm drones moving like liquid mid air.
That's fucking. Terrifying. What's terrifying? It's. The best way to put? It is a floating hornet's nest of metal Hornets. Oh, no. Yeah. You see the cloud turn towards you. Oh shit. Roll for initiative. Looking for an RPG podcast that isn't? Just D&D roll to cast, is the answer no. Wait, sorry. What games have we played so far? Well, we've. Done. Cyberpunk 2020 oh Catholo.

What he expected to be a cloud, but what now looks like various clouds and or stand alone drones and blasts your first shot. Shoots wild, and it hits the other side of the room and sticks into the wall that is a full. That's a full -10 crit, and your left Grand Pappy's Colt 45 jams pretty hard. A bullet gets stuck between the cylinder and the outside, and it's going to take you a minute to fix that. No shit. Hair. Just keep happening your other
bullet. Though 25 rips a hole through the centre of the cloud of drones and they take a decent hit of damage, they buzz violently and angrily at you. You. Cause 14. Damage. They seem pretty pissed. Off. Cheers. One of the. Drones pops out from around the vending machine and gets close to Jeb. It then rears up its front legs and shoots a dart at you. Dodge Jeb. Roll evasion. It. Hits you.
The dart hits you in the shoulder and you feel it sting as it passes your armour because it is a biotoxin dart and causes 3D 6 + 1 damage and you take 10 HP damage period. Audible Gulp I'm. Not feeling. Too good? Oh shit, it's. My turn. Well, make sure your. SHIELD is on. Oh, that's a good point. And then? They'll taps their. Shield. And it turns on around them. Vendel. Vendel. Cap. Capture it. Oh. OK, Oh yes, I'll use my jacket And they whip their. Jacket around the back of their
head and jump towards the drone with their jacket. 19 Evasion The drone tries to avoid rolling a 17 and gets caught in Vendel's jacket and is now heavily immobilized. Vendel raises their fists and goes to smack at the drone underneath the jacket. Rob Rowling. Can I roll? Taekwondo instead, yes. I don't know how. To do that should be martial arts. Oh, I got it. Bam. That didn't do any better way?
Blame Vendel gets a pretty good hit on this creature, and it is now trapped under Vendel's jacket and under their foot, which they're holding it down with. And that's the end of Vendel's turn. Did it work? I I. I'm not in that room. Yes, I. Managed to get it all right. One of the. Drones at the back of the room, moves forward and tries to shoot Vendel. It's pretty far, so we'll see
how this goes. 20 miss. They needed 25 or higher, so it misses and stays exactly where it is since that's all it can do. Another drone little closer to Vendel gets right up towards Vendel and it's 2. Front claws extend little razor blade like sharp knives and it goes to attack Vendel Dodger. 16 is. Making these. Things Pandale sidesteps. The drone and the drone misses stepping in front of them. Hell yeah. Oh, it's. A melee attack, isn't it? Oh, I've got a Dodger 19.
I got me. Right on the leg. Ah, but it was the Cybertek leg, so it only did three damage. Hell yeah, The swarm. Drones moves towards you, but ultimately doesn't get near anyone. It's loud buzzing makes you feel uneasy as it gets closer and closer to the door. Vivi and Iona, you can hear it buzzing. Vivi, they're coming. OK. Well, yeah, that that drone. I am not a fan, so I'm gonna try to.
I'm gonna just run in the room, position myself, and shoot with my weapon, my Sandro, Hello Kitty, Ultra Kate Assault Pistol. I love that you say that. Every time I do too. 25 So did you aim at the cloud? Yeah. I think. I think I'm going to aim at the cloud. You're on a + 10 crit. With the result of 25 and the bullet goes right through the centre of this cloud of drones. But you're you see it whack a few of them as they fly past the bullets trajectory and fizzle and spark in the air.
And this thing takes another decent hit. Nice one, VV. Sweet. Did you get? Two shots. I do actually. So let's go for it again. Oh, that's pretty good. It is pretty good. You. Roll a 24. Not a crit, but it does cause more damage to this cloud. And assuming that's what you're shooting, yes, cool. And you see even more of them spark. You hit it well enough that it actually gets pushed back a little bit further to the north part of this corridor. This long spooky corridor got a little.
Damn long one of the drones. Tries to get closer and it tries to shoot you, Vivi. But. Doesn't roll enough because at that distance it means a 25. It is far away from you and the. Dart goes. Whizzing past you and sticks into the crate behind you, cracking and pouring biotoxin all over the ground. It evaporates into the air like hand sanitizer. Then. Another drone tries to get close, tries to shoot Vendel being the closest target. Still pretty far 22, not the 25 it needs.
And the dart does fly into the vending machine beside Vendel and the vending machine shuts down. Oh shit. That was close. Iona. I think it's time for you to do something. I'm coming. All right. I'm going to take a shot at the drone that is not held down by Vendel. It's really close, but I yes, I I see that. I don't. I don't want it to get you. Thank you. Get. You. You're well. You're welcome. I'm going to look stylish while
I do it and use. I keep clicking the wrong thing and I'm going to use the Super Chrome, Super Chrome. 20. Yes, that is enough because you at 20 can reach 25. You hit this drone fairly hard in front of Bendel for 12 damage and you get another shot. 21 you. Hit it again, this time for 13 damage. It goes under half health and two of its legs blow off, causing a small explosion. Great, there's less to. Stab you with. Thank you. And it now can't move. That's two we've disabled.
All right, everyone else put. In work. Good job, nice, nice work. Nice. You did a good job. Thank you, Retro. Now would be a good time do something. Yeah, hold on. So while everyone else was doing their bit, I took my tool hand and I made a taken the punch on my tool hand and very carefully tapped the firing pin part for all of the bullets. So that way just the tap is
going to cause them to go off. And I just throw them all into this bag and I take out whatever, you know, scientist needs duct tape and wrap it up. And. Duct tape and I I rear back and I try to remember back when I was a kid when I was playing cash and realized that I never did and just throw shoulder arm 17. Yes, you throw this ball of duct tape, incredibly bad corporate snacks, and random ammo towards this cloud of drones.
The drones attack this ball mid air and they do their best to really, really fuck it up. That that is 8 damage and eight damage is enough to breakthrough the duct tape and it rips open, the ammo explodes and the drone cloud expands. It takes out not only the drone cloud itself, but also the drone next to it. Nice one, Retro.
And as Retro puts their hands up in celebration, the cloud of dust from the explosion just completely covers the front of Retro. So now they're completely covered head to toe in the front with the crumbs of Jizzer snaps. Look it's. Frosty the retro man. That's funny. Do you have There's two left. No time to laughter. I was wrong. I mean, listen, I know what I got to do and I shoot. Do you move forward first? No, I. Can hit it from there? Apparently yes.
You roll a a crit plus four with the result of 30 causing 14 damage to one of these drones. That is a lot of damage. Is that enough to kill? One of them? No, but. It's enough to bring it under half health. I will. Then I gotta. Shoot a gam 25. Not very good on damage with an 11, but with your crit from before, the drone closest to you also explodes. There's only one drone left. Nice. Nice. The drone under the jacket. Tries to move around and fails to get out from underneath
Vendel's foot. Yeah, you little piece of shit. Don't you dare. Right, there's one left. It's pretty far, I'm not sure if I can. You got this. OK. Somebody jump on that drone under the jacket before it takes its turn again. Fuck you, little shit, all right? Doug Battle cries. Really need some? Work. 21. Yeah, Vendel. Runs towards this horrible little drone and kicks it like an American football. Amazing. Fuck you.
It flies to the back of the. Room Taking 10 damage just from Vendel's foot and taking another 19 damage. Yes, that's right, 19 damage from the wall behind it. Jeez. Flows into. A a multitude of pieces and causes little flames to fall through the air. Wonderful job. Vendel and combat is over. Well, damn. Yeah, it was. Something well, too bad for the. Drones. It looks like we're the ones cleaning up. Next time. On no latency. I imagine we're going to blow
this. Place up at some point, right? It's what we do normally. It was very tempting. To just smash it. I mean, it was a clean kill. Are you feeling all right? You're looking a little sickly. I'm not. Feeling great, actually, that's. Concerning if we could stop talking. About throw up, probably hurry up before. Jeff gets a pace for finger sandwiches. Do you want to split the? Party sometimes helps cover more. Ground sometimes you guys split. Up Search for clues. Hey, what's this over?
Here on the floor, yes, maybe. I think that might be what it is. What does that say? Thermal and habit. What is going on where? Where? Where'd you go? Are you guys? Are you? Guys, OK oh, fuck. There is a drone in here. What are you doing in a vent? I grabbed Wendell by the feet and I start. Dragging them backwards and I'll give it the old. Fonzay, they're splitting us up. By a job everywhere in this place, like there's there's two
classes. Holy shit, Remy. Was that a little? Overkill. I'm not a fool, I. Use my tool. Thank you for joining us on our adventure once again here at No Latency. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter at No Latency Pod, check out our website at
