Last time on no latency. You know, every once in a while I accidentally stumbled into a good play. Did he? Stutter. They both have really good reflexes I suppose. OK, back into the van. Back into the van. This is spicy. I've been down in the tunnels before, trains are quite loud. If you thought that was spicy, just wait till the Tapasco about to get dropped on this bitch. 300,000. 500,000 they're. Really bidding up fast. 1,000,000. I'm going to trank them. Yeah, yeah. No, I I got that.
My butt felt that. The only people that walked away miss Fruits, Lester and person who won the bid. 10 minutes. Oh, I delete every bit of footage of us on that. What happened to your butt, Jack? Don't care what happened. To us, but we need to leave we. Didn't time this for the train schedule but but me and Van Dale did time that explosion, am I right? I mean, how about we won? All right, I got the box. Van Dale, let's go. Where are we going? I mean out of here. Right.
I mean, they're going to come through that door to the South, right? So if they say with the heart, it's going to be bad. Where are we going? I don't know out. Down the train tracks. I was just. Going down the train tracks, are we going to hide in the bathroom? No, let's get the fuck out of here. Let's be my friend. We could just try to bunker up here and hold them off, yeah. Well, I mean, we, we should stay. Yes. And the heart people should go. Thanks.
Me and you, Van Dale. We're the heart people. OK, tunnel a bathroom. Tunnel, let's go. OK. Don't get run over. And then Dell follows you into the tunnel with this, with this atomic heart. Remember, it's 10 minutes for There's a train in the tunnel, so Jeb and I will have to work out what to do because we'll be hit by the train so. If we don't get out of here. Right. Could just make it to the next platform. So start running. It's it's a few.
Miles there, Jeb. We'll probably get hit by a train before that happens. We'll figure it out when we when when we get there. You do not. Step on that rail, do you, Jeb? And Jeb and Vendel run down the tunnel towards the east side of that area. You have a few moments as you hear the door being fumble with. I send, I send. I send a message to Vendel. Get back in the vents. I only just get back into bed.
Jeff, come this way. Are we just going to try to play this off as much as we can install like that? We don't know what's going on. I mean, we don't have the heart. Correct. OK. What is going on? I don't even know what is. What is? What is going on? What? What's happening? And miss fruits, three gods, Mastiff and the person who bought the object Celine Basque enter the platform area. What's going on? Where's my fucking heart?
Yeah, who you? You seem to have left a kind of incredibly promptly around the time the alarm goes off and the object is missing. Hand over the fucking heart yet, charlatans. The alarm went. Off I opened my Biotechnica jacket. Miss Fruits turns off the alarm. Yes. What? Well, wait, how do we know you just didn't set it off and now you're just trying to rip us off? Now how do, how do we know Miss Fruits? You didn't.
You just turned that button. How do we know you didn't set up the alarm and set this whole thing up? But we were just in the vault and it wasn't there. There's there's only one you maybe could. Have went ahead and stole it from them and now made us passes because we didn't want to play away with this stupid little game. He makes a good point. Did you check Miss Fruits to see if they went and took it? They're the ones that have all the stuff.
And hey, by the way, did you realize that the last time they had one of these things, the people who didn't buy stuff were the ones who ended up dead? So you trying to set us up as your next patches to go through with this deal, Miss Fruits? You know, I had a little, you know, there was like a thing about how pretty I thought you were, but now you just look like the worst person in the world. Wow, wow, this is this is nicely. Directly after an investor's
meeting. I mean, I could just see you shivering right there with your anticipation, realizing you done fucked up. Role Persuasion 17, 7. I'll tell you what. How about this? Can I drop the DV if I do something very outrageous? Yes, because you currently fail. All right, fine. You want to search me? Fine. Retro's going to go ahead and drop the bag. Go ahead here and takes down the bag. They're going to take off the jacket here. I'll toss up my jacket in front of him and then here you go.
Takes off his shirt. He pulls down his pants, and then he pulls down his underwear. He takes his socks and his shoes off, all in that order, and he throws it off butt ass naked. He's gonna turn around. He's like, there, go ahead, see you got nothing on me. He'll bend over and spread his butt cheeks here. Check that you. Think I put an extra heart right up my ass here. Check that. Sorry, sometimes he gets like this after a drink. Then those we clearly established.
Those were very strong drinks. Yes, I I believe we did. I'm kind of glad that I have having trouble seeing there. Mr. TV Man, you are hairy in places that are upsetting. No reaction. Fair enough. Damn. He's very stoic. I'm no, I'm. Just going to say I'm still spread wide open. Nobody's told me shit yet. I'm not sure you can close your ass to us. God damn. Look, I don't know.
We don't know what happened to the heart and honest, quite frankly, I don't think we really care because we didn't win the bid. So sorry, but good luck. Train will arrive in 5 minutes. Going to turn around. Fine. If you ain't going to do it, then yeah, I'm going to go and put all my stuff back on in the same order, in the reverse order of what I said. And yeah. Retro gets redressed in front of these people. Thank you for putting your clothes back on. There's no need for that.
Hey, you're the one who went ahead and just straight up accused us with no proof for whatsoever. Meanwhile, in the tunnel. Jeb, Jeb. The train's going to be here in 5 minutes. We'll never make it. There's there's a door here. We'll. Dive in. It's fucking locked. Oh. Shit kick. It down, there's room in here for two people, but not two people and the heart. So if if one of us gets hit by a train, we should probably save the heart, I think. You kick it down, kick down the
door, use your robot leg. Oh, OK. OK, I've got a role for that. All right. I guess we're using the robot leg. Jeb really wants the robot leg. Power Leg 19, yes, that does beat the DV and then they'll kick this door open. All right, Jeb, get the fuck in here. Yeah, I'm here and. Jeb and Vendel find that they have re entered the room next to the vault. Oh. Hey, we were in here before. Yeah, Fandale, we, we were the ones that created this crate, this small crater in the side here and.
There's still a bit of still bit of smoke in here. Oh yeah, don't worry about that. So I suppose we're going to do a little just kind of subway hoppings and wait for the this train to go by and then get back in there and keep moving, huh? I I thought when the train arrives we could sneak onto the train from the tunnel. Oh, right. Yeah, All right. Well, I do like a. Sneaking I, I, I it's away. We're hidden from them. As long as they don't find this little room beside the vault,
we're we're pretty safe. So as long as the other guys don't screw the pooch, I think we're going to be fine. As long as no one comes to check on the thing that exploded, it's probably going to be all right. Turning back to. The group, you know, there was that explosion we felt during the meeting sounded like it came from somewhere down the tunnel. We got a few minutes. I could go and check if you like. And Mastic starts to walk past you. If you could just move out of
the way there TV man. I try and come, yeah, sure, suddenly. All right. Roll roll stealth. What are you doing? No, I. Shouldn't have done this? Maybe I should? Can I Can I prevent BB from doing that? Sure if. He passes out. It's fine. OK. You know what? No. No. No, you know what? Roll roll to see if you drank it. OK. 15 yes, that is pretty high. Let's be real, that is a three, so nobody notices that you just an extra bit of trunk into him and he takes three steps
forward. He rolls A2 unresisted truck. Oh my God. Takes two more steps and fucking faints. Oh oh oh God. Maybe. Hey y'all going to help him out? I mean look he just passed out again like you are not doing very well that you're taking care of your guests was fruits. Look, you have this guy passing out twice, take try to take control of your own situation and you can't even get what this other one bought. It's the guy you drank before. Oh, OK, OK. Yeah, you drank this guy twice.
This could be honestly, this could be some sort of medical condition that's a bit, it could be narcolepsy or some other condition. I. Mean he did get a pretty big head trauma or. He could have a concussion, Yeah, straight up concussion. Look, his head was bleeding. He may need medical attention very quickly. Yeah, where's medical attention people, huh? Well, this is a secret meeting, so. Please, I know that the the heart is very important, but we should this man's health is also
very important. You wanted to get known for your secret meeting. For everybody else, well. Are you traumatine? Well, no. I I former a former. Former Don't don't help. Don't don't want to fucking deal with it. You Are you really going to let Mr. Mastic die at your meeting? No, I'm not going to do I. I mean. As a medical professionals, so if you could help us, I would appreciate it. Biotechnical assistance please. Allow me to just take a look and I'm going to just like just try
to distract. Roll for it. Yeah, you're trying to do sub par medical stuff. You're not trying to kill him, but you don't want him to wake up. You roll a crit success 24 and you find a little spot on his back that is just a pressure point that makes his whole body shudder. Now from the outside this could look like some kind of seizure, but doing it, you realize all you're doing is tickling him. OK, I love this. I'm going to. I'm going to tap the tap it on the back or back of his neck
over this. He's seizing. He's seizing. Somebody please help. Is there no strong, burly man that can help pick up Mr. Massic? He's seizing this is this is serious. He needs to be taken to a hospital so bad. OK. Honestly. No, you're right. You're correct. OK. Yeah. Do you? Do you attempt to fake stabilize him in this moment? Yes, I will attempt to stabilize him, but. And in this moment, do you stabilize him in such a way that he probably won't wake up for a few hours? Yes. All right.
How do you do it? I'm just going to, I'm going to just give him an additional, I'm going to give an additional dose to keep them passed out. He is certainly going to need proper medical attention. He needs to be taken to a hospital as soon as he can. I've at least stabilized for now because the seizing, the passing out, this could be something there could be some actual neural trauma from what happened all. Right, Iona and your crew.
Are you fine to take him to a trauma team depot somewhere? We're we're about to catch this next train. We can take him. All right. Do you have anything that will hold a single person? I have a hoverboard. How cyberpunk pull out? Your hoverboard from your from your boom box and shove him underneath it and he's now hovering 3 feet of the ground unconscious we're. About to walk on this train with an unconscious man. I'm sure this train's seen worse. Yeah, I did on the way here.
I guess you're right. I mean, just button up your doctor's coat and yes, professional. Yes, I am a professional. Just as you get him onto this hoverboard, everyone's looking, looking at this. This is not what any of these people expected tonight. The guards are very confused. Miss Fruits is very confused. Celine is kind of pissed off. She turns to Miss Fruits. Do I get my money back? It's a lot of cheddar. We'll talk about it. And Miss Fruits hands you a
business card, will you? Let me know if he dies, yes. The train arrives and the doors open and Jeb and Vendel in the tunnel can see the very end of the train with the end door that they could come in and the rest of you are now standing with the train doors open. You have around about two minutes to get on the train before it leaves. How many people are getting on this train? Is it just us with with the mastic? All right, let's take Mr. Mastic.
Phoebe, you're too kind. Goodbye this, ma'am, I apologize. This shouldn't have happened on our watch for you. I am deeply embarrassed to this whole situation. And I don't know if Biotechnica should enjoy any more of this particular meetings if this is what's going to keep happening, especially after it happened with Patrick and such. I really think that you know. Things need to be readjusted. I can assure you this sort of chaos isn't normally part of our procedure.
Well, I mean we'll. Have to find a new location for this obviously. Well, we'll have to see. That's going to be more of a Miss Pescu call on that deal. I'm just relaying from what I see for this particular point.
I think you have a lot to make up for Miss Fruits and luckily for you, they are very forgiving at times in which can be infuriating for me. So I will say this probably have a good shot, but I would say better be on your better behavior for it. Come on, let's load up Mr. Massic so that way we can get them there before he dies. Since now it's been falling on charge on us, please. Yes. Have a great rest of your night. Jeb, it's now. Come on, pick up the box.
Let's go. Yep. Let's go, let's go. I'm going to go sneak up onto the back there and maybe we can just kind of wait it out for a bit. There's a door so we should try and get in before the train starts because they go really fast and I don't want to be on the outside. But other people are going to see us. Jeb, we're going to sneak onto the fucking train. Roll stealth. I will also roll stealth. Yeah, you will. Right now. You'll get there. I'm. Just I'm just, I'm just thinking about it.
I've got about 30 seconds left. 15, it's good enough. 15 and 2215. Wait, like that's, that's literally above average. I'm doing a great job. There was a huge distraction. I meet I meet the DV though that was close. My name is Johnny and I'm the host, executive producer, and Prince of Lies for the Monsters Playbook. What's the monster's playbook? It's an actual play Monster of the Week podcast set in my hometown of Minneapolis, MN where no monster can hurt you as
badly as you can hurt yourself. It's a character focused adventure where you'll meet Kyra Ashwood, a journalist with a cult past she's desperate to atone for, and a secret power hidden even from herself. Casey Davis, a taciturn secret agent, becoming disillusioned with the agency she thought she could trust. Theo Nessos, a professional sorceress trying to escape the shadow of her powerful magical
family. And Mark Clayton, a pretty haunted introvert who just wants to make sense of his powers and all the weird things that keep happening to him. This is a show where danger could just as easily come from an otherworldly threat as from the fragile emotions that anchor our characters and bind them together.
If you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Dresden Files, or any city set supernatural story with monstrous threats and messy feelings, check out the Monsters Playbook new episodes every other Tuesday wherever you get your podcasts. BB Station. Can't believe that actually worked. Oh, you guys made it OK. And Jeb and Vendel come over with this heart in a box. Well, we've got the box. I have a Texan. Look, firstly, I apologize if you know that was a little too
much. I thought maybe, you know, knocking the guy out with a couple of trank darts. Don't worry, he's out out. So he won't be how? Many trank dart darts. Did you give him? Three. Three traps, baby. He'll be fine. I will have to explain to the doctors when I drop him off about that because you know, they're going to know it wasn't he just passed out from alcohol or hitting his head or something. So that's what everybody else thinks all.
Right. So if we take Trauma Team, they're going to know that he was tranquilized, you know? Who we could take him to. Oh. God. Sawtooth our. Favorite doctor are. We driving to sort of right now. Yeah, I think, well, we kind of have to because I did kind of, you know, I, I do feel responsible for this. He's going to remember. So much of this.
VV can we not just leave him on the train hurt the high pules that you have to look like he injected himself and looked like just another resident of Knight city enjoying the train ride on a on a trank high. I mean, we could. We could do that. Here's my question Duty If we do not take him to a doctor, is it going to die? No, he'll live. But he'll remember all of us, so
we end up like, not matter. If only there was some sort of drug that would like erase the last bit of the memory that he had. Yeah. And it was under an hour us being in there. Yeah, really good. If we had something that would all right. All right, OK. What? I can do that. Do what? Do you got a drug that does exactly that? Do we? Yes, we do. My God, we could do that. Look, I'm I'm open to whatever you guys feels best.
I I did. I feel bad that I kind of screwed this guy over, but also he's an exec and an asshole so maybe I don't care. It's fine. I don't know how trank mixes with this so. I think it'll be fine. Yeah, do we care about side effects for someone who is apparently this much of a Dick? No, I pull it out of my bag. Go ahead. And call it. Yeah, it's pretty sure if it does. All right, so, So what we need to do is getting him, get him into a situation where he maybe
thinks he missed the meeting. Right. Fell asleep on the train. But then that doesn't explain why he has head trauma and is full of tranquilizer darts. So do we take him to sore tooth anyway and say we found him or do you want to do the train? The train thing was too. It would leave a lot more loose ends. Well, I suppose we could probably just take him to South Tooth and and then when he wakes up, just tell S Tooth that I
mean almost the truth, right? I just tell him that he was at the underground thing and that we that he hit his head and that we brought him here to get, you know, have him taken care of. Do we have something like an enzyme that can break down the tranquilizer? An enzyme. Like a a trancantidote. Do you have something like that? Could be. Trancantidote. You know, I I don't know if I technically have any. I mean, I have, I have smelling salts that helps wake people up
pretty quickly. It woke my owner up. Do you remember when we took a pint of your blood while you were awake? Yes, yeah. I just, I remember you taking a pint of my blood while I was awake. I do remember that. The reason why I asked about the the breaking down of the tranquilizer is because if we can do that, we can just leave him on the train. I bet you Sawtooth would have that. Yes, Sawtooth would. Definitely. All right, let's just.
Take him, Give me a second. Let's take him to the doctor, The real doctor. You're a real doctor. Don't. Don't do that boost still. Oh yeah, I got some boost. Hold on a second. I got three of them, in fact. I would like to go. And just do. Use basic tech to try to, well, hold on, give me a second. Yeah, I was going to try to see if I could concoct boosts with the smelling salts itself to potentially just wake the gentleman up.
Yeah, you can fashion a mixer. You can fashion a little Margarita blender out of some scrap and some stuff from the vending machine. Oh, I just just use my robotic hand. That's a good enough shaker as it is already. All right, you, you. Create a a centrifuge in a Tumblr that you got from the Bubble Cafe. Yeah, All right, I'm gonna take the can, put it into their hand. OK, go ahead. Just pour it down his throat. Just a little bit of time so that way they don't choke. Maybe.
I hope you'll help me out here so that way. Yes, I will make sure you're. Doing this? Are we doing this after or before we put the never mind into this human? We probably should do that soon because it's like, you know, it deletes the last hour. Wake up unknowing so this first and then the never mind so he forgets everything. Don't you mean the never mind and then this and then the drink? Never mind. And then the drink. Never mind, I just give it to him.
Oh, OK. So you shove never mind into his mouth. Vivi, you have to make. Him I have, yes. Somebody else will open his mouth, I will drop it in. I have a one of those like pill guns. There you go. He removes it from his mouth and puts it in some professional medical equipment. Gives I owner a look. You could have said something. I I got it. And you inject this pole into his bloodstream. You watch him shake slightly as he starts to forget the last
hour of his life. It coincides with a roundabout, probably around where he was heading towards the venue, but he remembers nothing about being there. Is everyone ready? Yeah, yeah. And then we get we're getting off this train just. Act natural, Jeb. Don't. Say it. Are we, are we acting drunk? Is that what we're doing? I just want to make. Sure, we're acting natural. Oh, natural. OK. And. Vendel does the most unnatural pose as they lean against a. Pole on the train. Sit, sit down.
OK, I'll sit down. I'm going to sit next. I'm going to sit next to Vendel All. Right, you go and sit next to Vendel all. Right, I'm going to pour some into into the guy's mouth and then softly slap his cheek as if I'm waking him up. And I'm going to have him roll resist or drugs. That's a one. He's very drunk, but never mind. Hits him fine, causes no complications whatsoever. But he rolled A1 to the beast. He is woozy. Hey, hey, hey. Buddy, Hey, you there? Hey. Champ.
What the fuck did I drink? I feel like I was just hit by a fucking elephant, which is impressive because I've never seen one in real life. Damn I'm. Not. I'm not sure you were chatting, something about how you got some. Am I still on this fucking train? Yeah, dude, you said you got some boost off of a couple of, What do you call them? Wait, what time is it? Metal jackets? The what? Fucking time is it? Oh, it's yeah. It's about 10 minutes to one now.
It's getting closer. Oh fuck, did I? No damn it had one more drink before I left and maybe there was too much. Did I pick some more on the way? Oh shit, that's beer off the fucking truck. Tell us about how you picked up some some beer from the Maelstrom guys. Oh fuck, I'm on the fucking. Why am I on a fucking hoverboard? I want to know why you're looking at yourself, Sir. I placed you there after you or, or actually, no, you were doing
some wild stuff. I you saw, you saw my hoverboard on the train and you were like, give me the hoverboard and then you thought you could like start like riding it and dancing on it and then you like fell off of it and it was like. You hit your head pretty hard actually. Yeah, more. Persuasion for that one. That seems like an incredibly realistic reason for why I passed out. Absolutely. So that makes the DV fall. It's not that you need it because it's a fucking 18. You both rolled in 18.
Yeah. Damn. You know what I'm going to say? Sometimes I like to be a little bit of a hot rod. You know what I mean, cowboy. Yeah. Yeehaw. Right. LA That's that's exactly what I was going to say, yeah. That's right. It's weird that you were the only one of these people here who didn't speak. I didn't speak. Yeah, but you're more of like an assistant type. Well, I just felt like anything that I might say, mate, you know, make things more difficult than they had to be.
This guy is. Such an asshole. Wait, what do you mean more difficult? Your friend's the kind of friends who tell you to shut up when things get hot. Oh yeah, champ. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, I know those kind of people. They've usually got secrets. What secrets are you lot on? Oh shit, man, I got a headache. I can't remember shit. Alcohol does that. You have too much of it. No, I know my 4th bachelor party I lost the whole fucking week Mr. W Good thing too. God, this guy. This is what's.
Our train landed getting in. I I told you we should have just left him alone after he passed out. We should have left him alone. But you told me we should have checked on him, make sure that he was OK after he had his fall. But no, he just wants to be a jerk. All right, man. And you're just showing me why it's not worth helping people out nowadays. No, no, I mean you. You saved my ass. I'm not a man who is not thankful for his charges.
Your real persuasion high enough that I think you've done me a favor. So tell you what for save my butt and making sure I don't get found on the floor of a train. He gets up from. The hoverboard. How about I give you a reward and you don't tell no one that you found me passed out on a train That doesn't look good. Net 54 finds out about that. Me and Petra Kim are going to get into some trouble, and I can't hide that I work for Petrocam because it's literally written on my fucking jacket.
So you already know that. So how much money do I have to pay you motherfuckers to keep you quiet? I'd say about 5. 5 bucks damn you are one cheap motherfucker. But if that's what you want, any. Hands jab a fiber. All right, I'm coming out on top. Fiber for each of you. Yeah. I'm running a little. Bit more I don't know, I got my 5 bucks back that I gave to you, but I got it back. So we're I'm back up even now.
That's great. I'm, I'm trying to distract him from hearing what Jeb's saying by telling him, look, I, I'm, I'm, I'm a little bit more than, than than five. I mean, you know, I, to be honest, I'm a freelance journalist myself and oh. This is pretty. Well. I did not know that I was going to get manhandled by a man with a fucking CRT for a face. Fine, roll Persuasion. I'll see what I'll give you.
I mean, this would be a great start for the headlines coming up this Sunday. I mean, just think of the scream sheets coming out with there. Well, you rolled a 17, so I'll tell you what. His 200 eddies. Now how about you shut the fuck up? I mean, hey, I could take that. I take recording. Equipment on that that'll doodad face of yours. You make sure you delete that shit, you hear me boy? Well, I'll take offense that you would think that that would be the case, but I will do it most people.
Record with their face. That is an assumption I have in not city boy. Assumption I had in not city man. I need you to. Did you just call me boy? I no, I corrected it so it didn't actually happen. You know what? Here's your 200 back. This might make better for a better. God damn it, motherfucker. Look, if you don't take my money, I'm just going to start. Maybe maybe a little bit more to cover the boy thing. Here's. 250 and you shut the fuck up.
All right, good for me. Everyone else happy, you all fucking done with my fucking debauchery and taking advantage of it. God damn it Mr. Fucking Meeting, my boss is going to have a fucking field day. He says as the train arrives at the station. Well, it was it was a good target. Do we? Yeah, this is my stop, you motherfucker staying on this fucking train. What are we saying? I'm trying. I'm just gonna keep continuing on, Sir. I have no idea who you are and what happened tonight.
He says as he walks away from the train. Now he's walked away from the train and you can choose to get off at this station or move on to a different one. What station are we at in relationship to no agency? To get back to where you parked your car is around about a 20 minute ride. Or you could try and take like a a taxi from this station. Oh, let's just keep riding. Station I think, as the doors shut after he's left. Well, I'm glad you didn't notice the box with the horror in it.
And you sail off into Night City, back to the station where you arrived on the loop that is this train. And you get into Vanna White and head back to the bar. Hey, Vivi. Yes, Richard. I feel like, you know, we're a good distance away now and such. Maybe you should give a quick check on the inside there to make sure that the heart's OK. That is a good idea. I'm going to check on that heart.
All right, you check on the heart in the back of Vanna White. You open the box and start to examine it with your medical scanner. Roll for it, Medical Tech 19. Scanning Scanning Scanning prototype running at 60% efficiency. Radiation shielding Intact object in low power mode. Radiation shielding sufficient for larger power output. An increase of 40% is possible. Medical professional required. Oh, but it looks all intact and no. Housing is sufficient to hold object indefinitely.
Shock absorbers detected. Extra radiation shield detected. Box will keep objects. Safe and this thing is so cool. It glows green. Wow, this is one of the coolest devices I've ever seen. First of all. Second of all, it's fine. No damage from the transport. The only thing is it looks like it's performing at like a 60% output right now, like they put it in some sort of like lower power mode. So we don't want it, you know, we don't want it. We don't want to run in a full
60%. We want it fully operational before we do anything with this. So I might have to might have to tinker with it for a bit to make sure it's all good. It feels weird saying tinkering with the heart like it's a like it's a device, you know, something like retro would tinker with. You know I mean, I suppose all of our hearts are mid of a device. Yeah, I. Mean in a way, we're all just machines just pumping our way through.
Some more than others. Yeah. You know the cyber Ware. All of our hearts are fragile and complicated, and only the right people can truly touch them and make them beep. You say poetically as you. Drive. Towards Night City rather driving, check. It's very windy outside. It's it's creepy. It's the wind is howling. Jeb, as you drive through the howling wind of Night City drive up to the elevator outside and rolling a 27. No one even sees the the van descend into the bar.
The doors open and you return VV holding the box as you will step into the bar. Oh. You're. Back. And in record time, too. It's barely past 1:00 AM. Yeah, for once we didn't have to shoot a bunch of people. I don't think I shot a single bullet out of my gun. I did throw a grenade, actually. I threw, I threw one grenade and then I shoved another one down the tube. You did. That tube, of course, being the
the you. Forgot the the train ride there when we did have the fight with the Maelstrom. Oh, we did. We did shoot a bunch of people. We did shoot and kill a bunch of people, yeah. That's what this video's about then VV. Oh, let me see. How did how did they paint the picture? What kind of twist and angle did the news put? Oh. That's a nine. That's a nine and the only shots they got were shots that make it look like you guys were the
victim. And there's a really close shot of VD pulling the hand out of someone POV style and stitching. You and. Then pack on you. They covered it with jaunty music that matches the time, and it's actually kind of amusing. And then it says. Train Hero. Interesting, that's my new title, Train Hero. Better if they came up with a better name. I mean, it's cool. Yeah, this isn't what I expected, but Vivi's. Reputation goes up by 1. You know what?
I'll take it. What's the viral the viralness of this video? It's not quite viral yet. It's at the 50,000 likes views. All right. All right, I'll share it. Somebody on the street you know might might notice. Me, you know, it's enough. It's enough that someone might notice you sometime. But if it was picked up by net 54, it could get bigger. But we'll see. We can always ask April OH to run the story. Yeah, like we could force a viral. That'd be fun.
I'll send them a message. And then they'll start to draft a message to April. Ping looks at the box. So. You got the heart then. We did. Good. Well, now all we need is the head and brain. Yeah, it needs a little bit of work, but I can. I'll take care of it. Right. Well, we we can get to that either soon or when we put the body together. Yeah, it's not, I guess. Yeah, we don't need to do this urgently. So. But it's good to know how much is it running at 60%? Yeah, it's still.
If we can't get it working, it'll mean Domino's still pretty strong. Yeah. OK, so we've got better. I mean, of course we want it better. We always want the good ending. That's why they got all 12 vending machines last time. OK, so you need, so you've got the you've got the heart, the body, the arms, the legs, because that came with the body frame. And then we need the the the skull and brain and the skin. And then I think there's something else, but Domino's looking into that.
But I have found where the brain is. Now, is the heart of the brain more important? Philosophically, of course. Well, we need both. I mean, the heart makes funk really is the most important organ in your body. However, the brain is what makes the heartbeat. Exactly. And if Domino was plugged into the mains, they wouldn't need a heart, so there's that. But if but Domino already kind of, I mean, he kind of already got a brain, right? Like he he. Yeah, but.
He's to sit somewhere, Jeb. Well. Where is it sitting now? In 12 vending machines. Right. So his brain right now is big. So we need a, we need a, we need a brain that can hold an incredibly complex and dense engram. Yeah, like something the size of a chip. Right. Well, no, let's be real. Something the signs of a brain. It only makes sense. And there's only one person who's been working on that kind of tech. Don't say it. Danny Dark side. Oh oh.
Danny Dark side. It's a cool name, I'll admit I've never heard of him. He's very safety conscious and rumour has it that he's got this amazing brain shaped storage device that he has a prototype of. So it looks like we're going to be stealing yet another prototype, which is exciting. Well, I say we it's more you lot, isn't it? Could you do you mind if you give us a? Little bit, yeah. Do you take a nap? Sure. This is just. Just so you know, I've got the
information. Oh, good. Because I thought you were saying you should probably go get that now. And I I don't know. That party, he's going to be doing an event in a few days. I'm finding out some more information so I'll have something for you in a in a few hours. Oh, another heist. 2 heists in a row. This ain't going to be the same if it's Danny Dark Side.
Well, you do have a few. Days before we have an opening to get that, so you could do something else in the interim if you wanted to. Like a nap. Oh, and I got a message from Tuna, he says. You owe him a bunch of money. Oh, that's too bad. I am. I'm walking away from. That Oh, it's for Jeb. OK, Jeb, I got a a message from Tuna. He says you owe him 2000 eddies. Shit. Oh, and Jeb, why do I have a calendar invite for like, checking your butt?
Oh yeah, if you could. There's a calendar invite to look at Jeb's fun, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why did you say you should say in the in the notes it should say non sexual, I assume so I'm your doctor and you know, it's not uncommon. Yes, they. Already saw my. Oncology is not my specialty, but what happened? Well, I got a laser in my butt here. Just take a look real quick. Real quick. If you, if you don't mind. I'm just wondering, you know, because it real, it hurts real
bad to sit down. That's right. If you didn't, if you didn't notice, I didn't. Take a seat. During the entire train ride. Jeff drops Trout in the bar. This is second time we've. His nose. His underwear so that it looks like a thong and shows off his left. Cheek right there. Is there anything, anybody at the bar? No latency right now, like it's 1:00 in the morning. It's just came. Like cleaning glasses. A lot. Happened to you tonight, didn't it VV?
I've seen, I've seen a lot. Van Del looks over at Jeb's butt. Oh, the laser made AJ. That's cute. Oh, did it? Yeah, Yeah. Oh shit, Jeb got Brandon. I'm just wondering, you know, is he is he cauterized or, you know, you're going to have to amputate? Jeb, you need to stop being this cheeky. Next time on no latency. Good morning everyone, Awake and bake, that's what they say. Oh, weed shot. Yeah, great. We seem a little down in the
dumps this morning. Oh. Oh, God. Oh, OK, so it's one of them. So. So we do a job for you and then you kind of wipe the slate clean. Who are we doing a job for? Tuna. Oh, right, no. Don't remind me. Why is it always we whenever you're behind the wheel? A fire in a trash can. Don't hit anybody, Jeff. It's. Pretty normal for the combat zone. Oh, OK. How are you going to check the garage or? Yeah, we got the, we got their vehicle working in top perfect order. Right now, why would you do
that? Being nice, I. Wonder what they're doing in there. Oh, Gee. All right, so don't step on the owl. Here, let's let's let's do the transfer. You got your stuff ready for transfer. Oh, James, you can keep going. Holy shit. Make a choice, see how much you care about your buddy. Should we do something? Whoa, whoa, whoa, buddies. I did not say you could leave off of that. Oh, that's big. That's or that's what we're looking for, folks.
