Last time on no latency. Oh, Doctor Ombre, you're. Stealing body parts. I have some questions. Oh yeah, the thermal vents, definitely. You mean the people? You didn't know about this? We should probably discuss the killing of the custodian. This whole thing is starting to make me feel. Sick Remy, Can I just take a look at your are you? Getting so close. What's What are you doing? What we call high pressure nervous syndrome. SPNS. SPS.
He's suffering from his penis. I I decided I wanted anime eyes today. All right. Are you also also suffering from his penis? I think he's unwell. He's not in the room. Has anyone noticed that he's not in? The room. Hold on. Yeah. Come on. Come on. Let's go. Let's go. I'll smell. It. Fucker stole my dude. Oh my God, I'm a killer. That slant just has a robot growing out of his. Somebody who for a spanking body. Oh. Shit. I think Remy's right.
It's time for a spanking. You're not going to spank me. I'm not alone. I've got drones. That one's going to attack the nurse. Shooter. Shoot. That's what it's doing. Damn it. Rolling a 16 and missing. Oh, thank God. So how far? That is, that is 50 feet away, 50 feet away. It hides behind the lip of this stage in the middle of the room, and it tries to shoot you again, rolling a 20, which is still not enough. It needs to roll the 25 at this distance, and the dart falls
harmlessly at your feet. That's it's grumpy noise. I'll touch that one at least. Well, I I could go these. Drones are shooting at me. Yeah. Do you want me to take out the drones, or do you think we should kind of all just kind of gang up on the big Cyborg man? I don't know. I mean, if we keep our distance, the drones might not be able to get us so. Wait, hold on. I got an idea. I'll take out the drones. Everybody else, focus on the robot. Man, I'm kind of scared.
I think I'm. Good, my distance. OK. Does that sound good? Yes. Yes. All right, all right, all right. I'm, I'm gonna pop out here and do a little roll and then bye. Bye, Mike. Do you? Are you that far away? Oh. Yeah, uh, oh, I'm sure. By the way, to be clear, I'm sure know this, this this man or this little, little guy. This little guy. That is 35 feet away. 510152025 They're 35. Oh boy. Well, I guess oh. Well, let's see you. Move a little. Closer. Let's see.
That's going to, but well, you know, I'm just going to give it a go. Let's see, 35 feet. That is 26 to 50. I got to hit 25 and I hit. I got 25, so I hit him nice. You glance a little bit of this creature, only causing 5 damage because you rolled A crit. Fail on damage. Well then, how about you take a little bit of this one and I shoot the other girl? But I mean, rolling a 24, the bullet ricochets in the distance and falls to a red haze on the ground, yeah.
Shit, I'm gonna pop back into my corner. Yeah, that's what's. That's a that's that's a safe thing to do, Jeb. I mean, thanks. Are you employed? No, not be safe. Very much so. I think we can all agree on that. What makes you think there though was oh, you you're thinking about the flushing out to sea situation? Yes, Jeb, I'm thinking about that. Yeah. Now that you save. You know the the time that you lost your leg? Oh yeah, so many things. All right, I can see it. I can see it.
All right, I'm going to go full Sprint toward two, and I think it gets me about there. What's your move? It is. 6/7. 6. So you can you can move like 30 feet at a shop. Yeah, all right. I look. I stare down to this is it. It ends here and I whip out my Sanru. Hello Cutie Ultra K8 Assault Pistol and.
Shoot. 1717 hits because it's 20 feet and that the bullet hits the body of two and parts of this bloody mess that it's got control of. Fly all over the ground, cascading blood making a horrible squelching noise. AS2 takes just a little bit of damage. And then I shoot again and this time I would like to add 2 luck to the shot. Oh, are you doing an auto fire? Yes. Oh, that also cost 10 ammo. Oh. Fuck yeah. 10 ammo, Yeah. Oh, you know what? Never mind. Rules as written. I I resigned that.
Are you out of ammo? Is that why? I'm at 30 so. Oh, that's a lot. Of ammo. But if I do it multiple times, All right, you know what? Fine, you've you've convinced me by just saying that. OK, so I'm going to add 2 luck to this shot, and I didn't need to. Can I? No, no, no, no no I will. Here's the thing about auto fire. If you remember, everything above the required DV multiplies the damage. Hell yeah. So do you want to take that luck away?
OK, cool. So that's +2. You pull the slide on the side of your Sandru Hello cutie, it goes and sets itself to auto fire mode, and then you blaze 10 bullets across the room towards 2, hitting for an 18 + 2 auto fire. Which means that you do this times two damage, so 22 damage. Take that 2. You can regret. That well, that's all for me. That's. All. I'm probably going to die, everybody. We won't let dad, Doc. Don't worry. I see that there's a lot of fighting going on in there.
Yes. I'm just going to explore this panel real fast to see if there's anything I can do from the side of the wall. You can mute yourself. You can turn the wall solid so they can't see in, but you can see out and that's it. This fucking panel does. Just like an observation room or something. It is literally an observation. I see. Do you want to roll Perception 14? Yes, that's enough. You discover that inside, as you look around inside this room to the at least, there is a vent
hatch behind a crate. I got oh gosh oh, I really don't want to do this because it is going to be messy, but I'm going to try. I I imagine this this sneaks around. So I'm going to move this crate out of the way and fall into this vent. And you crawl several. Several deeper. It's all right. It's just dark dust, underwater dust from 72,000 people coming in through this building. There's lots of dead bodies. But it's OK all right and I crawl inside. You crawl into this vent in the
wall. Great. I'm going to Sprint to the North End of the vent thinking, But that will take me into the testing chamber. Look at that. It does. Yes, I will. And we'll stay behind this vent for now. You didn't roll a crit, so all you've managed to do is give yourself a vantage point. You are hiding an event, and through the slats you can see a cleaning drone hiding behind the stage. But you're behind it, and now you get to watch the fight from this angle. Remy being full of rage right
now. Sweating because it obviously is a well. It's just covered in water because it's just there's a leak here, obviously, because I'm fine. I'm totally fine. My pants somehow got caught on the door and I'm going to just, I'm going to run far as I can with my weapon. But I realize I'm I'm also realizing that my my shotguns not going to reach that far and Vivi's in the way and that's just going to be a real pain in the ass.
So Remy is going to switch to his an assault rifle named Skeleton Key and take a take a shot right there at Good old two same time. His screen is glitching and it's going between his face and just red eyes for some reason. 20 Yes, that is 25 feet away and you roll at 20, causing 18 damage to two. Are those armor piercing or regular? No, no regular. A blading of the body's armour and doing 9 damage to him in total. 9 damages time Oh, this comes. With pain. That's interesting.
I'm. Going to show you every different kind of pain said. I promise, Mr. Can't wait for you to touch me. Oh. I'm going to get there. I'm going to get there. OK, I think I've got a clear shot, but what should I do? I think we're going to hit it with the very heavy pistol. I think I'm going to hit it with a very heavy pistol. Regular. Heavy pistol so that you get a ratifier of two. I'm. Going to use. I'm going to shoot you twice. Yeah, because you are two. So you get two shots, Dick.
My first shot is a 20 because fuck yeah. The first shot hits two square and causes some damage, and the second shot Rosen 18, which definitely hits as well, causing once again 10 damage. Yeah, that's right, suck it. And they're going to put the gun away and pull out their sword and get in a defensive stance in front of Remy to protect. Right here, Sort of in front of Remy. Not within, no, not in front of the gun. Just right just beside. Remy No, I like that roll for it. Roll for.
Roll to to protect Remy. How? Do I want to protect you? We'll. Just we'll just do it. What? Vendel, please. Vendel puts their hand out and got punches Remy by accident. Oh, Retro. Sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. It's not. It's it's me. I'm sorry. Just step back. I've got this. So much rage. So much rage. I'm. So sorry, I think I may have fuelled his rage. I'm on a new high now. It's called adrenaline. Retro You lose 1 HP but you gain
adrenaline. I'm going to let you have plus just one move for your next turn. All right. The drone at the top of the room is now hunting for Jeb after it got shot. Oh boy. Bed shakes out. It comes around the corner of the machine and stares at you, Jeb, and it fires this silk at you. Oh no, the silk. Jeb, there is this spray coming towards you, and I need you to roll evasion. All right. 19 The sticky substance sticks to the wall and slides down it slowly solidifying into a hardened
mass, and it shoots you again. Beta 16. Am I evasion? Yes, all right. Here we go. Oh. Jesus. That's a great fail. It hits you in the face and now you can't see. Yeah, God, see my eye. It's in my eye. It creates kind of a face mask, like feeling of your face and you're just blindfolded. It's. Got some sort of facial? What do you? Want from me? That perfectly. Yes, and finally it is 2's turn. Oh, no, no, no. No, I'm angry. You've managed to get them below
2/3 of their health. You hurt me, beat me, and now I've hurt you. Everyone remain calm, beat me. They look angry. Who's not calm? Everybody's calm. I'm calm. You think? That you could just come in here. Should be should. Be in front of my mother. There's this flicking and there around to his head, these arms come out. This is horrifying. What? The hell? A blade claw and a Talon claw, and they move forward and attack Vendel. What? No. How do they? Oh no, not enough.
Vendel gets hit with the Talon Core and it causes three damage. What's Vendel's armour right now? Body armour is 8. It's light armour. Jack. So the body armour gets bladed by one and Vendel takes half of that damage rounded up, which is 2 damage. 2. Damage. Two damage. Ow fuck, it's uglier up close. Yeah, it is. You OK, Vendel? Yeah, I'm fine. Oh, is that a chain knife? Oh, what? Oh, what?
2 Pulls out a chain knife from the pocket of the body it's inhabiting and goes to attack Vendel. Vendel is the worst roller in the world. This is a weird tooth. Oh that's a crypt. Fail and Vendel takes four damage and gets their armour blade by one as this thing shreds the top half of their shirt. Oh fuck. I mean, I look really cool now, but fuck you. Like Natalie Portman and Attack of the Clones. Yeah. That reference. What? Jeb said.
Like he can't see. So he's obviously thinking about Natalie Portman. I would. It's it's an everyday thing. Absolutely, I agree, successful. Slice I'm going to move back over here and you frown. I want you again to attack VV odds or evens. Evens. Odds goes to Attack VV. Oh no. This time shooting it's. Sleep duck. O23 crit. You must roll a DV. Resist torture drugs. So beat. Beat a 13. I did. Oh, just.
All right, so you get hit with this dart and you see the darts start to inject you and you pull it out. You're a little drowsy, but you've beaten the the toxin. The dart is useless. I throw it to the ground, I. Throw it on the ground. Ground. This little drone rears its two front legs and shoots some silk at you, rolling a crit 22 + 2 you can't see. Guys I can't see. Wait a minute. Wait, what? Don't they going to do An evasion roll? If hit, the target must be an
evasion check. Oh, no, you're right. Absolutely. Sorry about that. Yeah. Oh, so I do get evasion. Yeah, you do get evasion. Hey, yo. This silk flies past you and sticks onto the ground, missing you entirely, and the drone hisses at you. These are nasty little drones. Please kill them, Jeb. Nasty Thrones. Jeb, it is your turn and you can't see. Oh. You guys, well anyone? Anyone got some like Gooby gone? Because I can't. I can't see nothing and I know.
You're just going to have to pull and you'll lose your eyebrows, but it's going to be fine. Use your other senses. Just pull. Just pull. All right. Cool. It could be. Like an Athletics, I guess. I'm. Trying to I'm trying. To play this straight, you know what I. Mean. Sure. I'm with you. 13 You rip this form off your face and it takes your eyebrows with it and it really, really hurts and you lose 1 HP. Oh. Oh God. Oh no. Jeff, why do you look so surprised? What's wrong?
My eyebrows go. Oh yeah. Well, that's it. Oh jeez. You look to your left and there's a drown hissing at you. Oh shit, and I shoot. Oh my God, they've turned Jeb into an alien. Yeah. So your first shot hit the drone for 11 damage. That's a lot of damage. And then the sick. I would. I would roll on the Critical Injuries table, but your next shot is a 27, rolls 14 damage and it skids backwards and explodes. You feel satisfied because that's the one that just took
your eyebrows. Oh yeah, I'm not getting those damn eyebrows back, I'll tell you that. Not for probably. I don't know how. Hey Doc, how long does it take for eyebrows to grow back? For some people, they never grow back. What? Your favorite multiverse hopping game system jumping, high production value Actual Play Podcast is back. System Switch Season 2 is out

Catch up on all of season one now, or jump straight into Season 2 every Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts. The multiverse is a strange place. All right, I'm going to just, you know what, this thing pulled out a chain knife. So I'm going to pull out my baseball bat and I'm just going to swing at 2:00. Nice. I should have had luck. I think they just have to evade that.
You can always detect twice 12. Oh, so you go and hit two and you smack them across their side causing 8 damage total. Yep. You. Watch a huge piece of the lab coat rip off and then roll on the critical injury table and you crack 9's leg and it clicks the wrong way and they fall to the ground in the knee might just fall to move. Damn it, Phoebe, you beat me to the knee camping. And I hit them again. Where are you hitting them? Well, if I say it is, is it a called shot? Do I roll?
Penalties. Yes you do. I kind of want to continue to go for the legs. I am going to add luck to this. Let's see, I had. I'll do 2. I'll add 2 luck to this role. So that's 12. Again, 214. The one of the arms on the back of Two's head deflects, the baseball bat hit, and you hear this metal twang sing through the room. How, how? How long do bones take to fix? I can fix those quickly, can't I? For some, they never go back. It was it was a joke. Get. Get. Get call back.
But that actually was a really good call back BDI, especially during a heated fight. Very good, but. Sometimes I have good ones. Yeah, you do. I am going to sneak out of this vent. Going to sneak out of this vent and and see two is there. So you walk about 20 feet into the room. And then I'm going to shoot two. I'm going to pull the Super Chrome sidearm from my side. Two mummy's mad and I shoot.
So I didn't hit. So your first shot, you shoot this bullet and it flies past two wide, but you didn't roll a crit fail, so it actually just sticks into the crate beside him rather than hitting VV or Vendel on the other side. Your second hit hits 2 square in the middle of the chest, causing 18 damage. Honey, honey. Listen, you have to play nice When you don't get to play at all, Oh. Wait, oh, did you see the damage on that, that blow up? Yes, it is. That's critical injury on the body.
There you go. Remember when I said it shot them in the chest? You broke the other leg. Oh, you know, the chest leg. You shoot 2 and it goes straight through the other leg and they fall to the ground and now they are completely. You're in time out. All hopped up on adrenaline right now, there's only really one thing that's going through Retro's mind. Retro is going to throw his assault rifle at 2, causing a distraction as he runs up to two, and is going to try to punt
his head off of the body. All right. Roll for it. That's. Brilliant, I'm using five point. I'm using all my luck on this. Oh damn. I'm dude. I am, I am. What's it? I'm I'm suffering from H penis. I am just. Everything is going. Damn H penis. For for Remy, everything is super high stakes at the moment. That only makes sense right now. Fair enough. 17 rolling. That's 22 roll 3D6 damage. All right, so you do 9 damage to
two on the ground. After throwing this rifle to distract 2 thinking that the head is like a kick ball from back when he was a kid. And you hear a crack like the spine has split slightly. Roll brawling again, because you get 2 attacks. 20 That's enough. Roll 3D6 damage. Oh, that's more. That's 11. And with your punt create the first crack. You spin around with the heel of your foot. The custodian ball cracks off the body, the body goes limp and the light in his eye starts to flicker.
It's only one way and combat. Is. Like a retro it's over. Come. And try to rip. The Remy Remy. Remy, you get them. Guys. Remy. Remy. It's over, Remy. It's over, Remy. Remy ain't listening. I. I know I put. I point my gun at him. Remy stop. Did I just hear somebody click a fucking cock at me? I've never touched a cock in my life. It's, I think it's called a hammer, you guys. You have a duck.
Remy, you need to step away from the custodian and we're going to help you out because you're you might need a little help. Just let me get take a look at you. All the drones in here that were active, the one drone in here that was active, it's frozen. It stopped immediately after the Custodian died. It's a Phantom Menace kind of situation, I think. I feel, I feel like this is actually a face down. With me? I think well either with you or VV. Yeah. VV slowly approaches while Iona
is still holding a gun. Remy, stop it. Oh no. So 616. Jay, do you have you have an inspiration, don't you? I think so, I. Do have an inspiration? You're right. Shoot. I will use it to win this face down. Wait till after he rolls, because you might roll A1. Sure 9. Oh. Shit. 12 point. 9. 21. 21, yeah. 14 + 8 is 22. Baby. And with that inspiration, you're about to say one thing and you clear your throat and then you say. It's over, Remy. Behind Iona, you see your ghostly friend.
You're right, Clint. Who's clean? Remy will Remy will just drop to their knees and 1000 yards there. You're at the. You can see his face is glitching out between his regular face and glowing red eyes, softly starting to dissipate. But. You good, buddy? Rummy, are you wearing a backpack? Yeah. I'm going to gently pull it off of you. Oh wait, hold on. I know how to fix him. And I walk over, and I and I. Give the CRT head just. Like a does nothing, huh? Will, I'm out of Adidas.
And at this point, Ion has pulled the backpack off retro and. I I start rifling through the bag looking for weed, do I find any? Is there a joint rolled up in here? It's not in my backpack. Roll perception. Doctor's orders. Gotta let them roll for it. Oh, I. If I If I find some fucking weed, I. Mean. I'll show you my backpack. Yeah, that's a 17. Yeah. You find 3/4 of a joint that Retro had seemingly just dropped in his bag. It's about a week old, but it's pretty good.
I I squirt some sanitizer on it and I I take the lighter out of his bag and I light it up and I inhale it and I blow it in his face. Everyone watches Iona. Essentially Kiss Retro with smoke. Damn retro. Instinctively, do you just inhale? Obviously, yeah. A sweet, sweet smell of marriage. You inhale this Sunday, Level of joint and I need you both to roll resist torture drugs. But regardless, Retro, you feel better. Oh, Iona does. Iona smoke. I heard that holding your hands
over your head helps with. The IT makes it stronger if you do that. Oh, OK. I won't do. That that does. Hold on I. After it distort your drugs. Which is 9. Oh, it's OK. I'm fine. I'm drug resistant. You got a bit of a cough. Oh, it's just a lot of smoke.
But retro the the you're you're not only feeling better from the weed, but because you rolled over the DV, the little bit of hand sanitizer that was still stuck in the rolling paper has given you a little bit of a head high, and it's alleviated some of the pressure feeling in your head and you actually do feel a lot better. Yeah, my head's just like steaming at the moment. I'm just going to. Pass this off to you Now if you could just finish this for us.
And retro starts to finish this joint in this room, and you're standing in this bloody room above this broken custodian. Holy shit. What you guys doing here? I'm glad you're back. A lot of. A lot of. Fighting. You know you. You have. How long you been out? Wow. Wow. You might need to talk to Doctor Sawbones. You got some real anger issues. You did all this in here? I had a little help. Oh, was it Jeb? Jeb, we know, is usually angry. I feel like I'm a pretty chill guy.
I don't know. Oh no, you're definitely chill. But like, you know, when you get in the the Jeb zone, it's like. Oh, when I when I go Jeb zone man, I don't want to be around me. You know what? I'm You know what I mean? Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I remember. Yeah. Yeah. Is this Jeb zone here too? Oh, I mean, no, I wouldn't say I was quite in the zone here. I did get. I did get glorped on, which I think is the the best way to describe what happened to my
eyes. I mean, wow, I actually now just noticed that you don't have eyebrows. It's a little weird. You're. Not you're just going to leave that for a while. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe I'll get sabernatic eyebrows. What do y'all think about that? Jim, I will say this, just having a good look at your face now super clean like your pores are sparkling. Yeah, I do think it kind of pulled out some of the black heads around my my, my nose area, which I'll be honest, feels great.
But it did pull out my eyebrows as well, so you know. I mean, Jeff, I I have a permanent marker. Oh yeah, go for it, buddy. Oh no, I mean the evil. Right. But I don't know. Should I? OK. Do do you want to roll wardrobe in style or should I? Well, let's. I'm going to be honest, you're way more stylish than I am. I got my whole thing going on, which I think looks pretty good, but I don't get. Confident that looks really, really worried with this black permanent marker in there and. So.
Let me, can I can I try? Can I try? Yeah, sure. I don't. I I don't want to be responsible. I mean, I'm not good at this. Make him look angry. Steady hand, steady hand. Make him look angry. OK. Grumpy face. Grumpy face. Oh, oh, a a. Little more arch. Yeah, just a little. I'm I'm totally with you on that. I'm totally with you on that. But but but. Listen, they're cousins, not twins. Well, I'm not joining them together like it's Alabama. Yeah. It doesn't have to be
symmetrical. This isn't. This isn't Shibari. There we go. No I I go ahead and I I take the the, the marker and I draw on eyebrows but I make them very like anime angry. So like Ryu or from Street Fighter or a Vegeta, just very sharp. Kamea mea face What? Wow, they look. Great. Yeah, you look, you look fierce. OK, I've heard that be used before as a compliment, So. You're you're slaying. You're slaying. Fierce I. You might take the pictures of who, who, who's got their, who's
got their thing with them. I, Iona said. You're slaying so. Listen, I work for. I work for an agency that doesn't allow you to have a camera on your tile. So sorry. Yeah, and you've broken yours. Oh no. It's not like VD has an agent with one. They don't have a camera, do they VV? Oh yeah, they do have cameras. Oh, cool. Great. I'm glad you picked up on that subtext. Great. Cool. Then take a picture of Jeb and show him his new eyebrows. That's your responsibility.
Now VP, I'm going to go check these bodies. Would you please? I'm dying to know what? I don't see any reflective surface anywhere around here. Just hold still, Jeb. Don't move too much. It'll the blur. Will pick up. Remy's going to turn off his face real quick so he can wipe down his screen. Here you go, Jeb. I took a couple of photos. You know, you can also flip it and put it in, you know the selfie mode and you can just kind of look and. Get here. Get over here. OK, here you go.
Oh. My God, I'm beautiful. I listen. I was kind of looking forward to getting some cybernetic eyebrows, but I think this might be just as good. Yeah, I they look great. I think it really, you know, it really brings out the the sharpness of my of my cheekbones. And if I do say so myself, I feel like I can emote even more than before. Oh wow, that's upsetting. If anything, I think this should allow me to better communicate my feelings without saying a word.
Yeah. Can Jeb do the rock thing? Oh my God. Jeb can do the rock thing. It's pretty. Good. And listen, we've we've taken down the custodian, we should probably go back to Doctor Ombre. Yes. Should make sure they're OK Who's? That. Hopefully they're not dead. Oh, I hope not. By the way, where's this custodian? I don't see anybody with a broom. Alright then. Next time on No. Latency. I remember the tests. The. Test that was so long ago.
No, the AAA's are people. That's the thing that you got to remember. We've. Explored nearly this entire facility since then. Oh yeah. Wow. Who did that? You did? It was pretty cool. I just crawled through a vent. I don't know if you saw that. You have my. Penis. It's a little bit more broken now, so just be careful 4. Doses of synth. Coke. Well, we should probably go check on Doctor Hombre so to make sure that they're not dead. Oh no, I'm going. To hand on the rest of my joint.
I'm sorry, there's no easy way to say it. Maybe a few hours. While you're ready to go. Restricted. Access not for us. I'm high, what do you expect? Vandella, are you feeling all right? I can patch you. Up real quick. This door wasn't very well hidden. Oh, Jace. Fuck me. Do we know this person? No. Thank you for joining us on our adventure once again here at No Latency.
