Last time a no latency a Survivor neutralized, demonetized currently, right now, Remy, at least you don't have to worry about him. No more. Do we want to use the flamethrower? I kind of make the cool. I make a cool pose. Sorry, this thing really it does something to me. Damn, I own. That looks sweet. It felt Sweet. Let's see that.

Big ol flame thrower. Here's Jeb took my flamethrower and decided to Grapple gun his way down to the next level without us. Oh, France Paris, please cut to us with elevator music waiting, patiently to go down. Where did you get that biosuit? Oh I found I found the two of them up there on the level 1. This is one of my absolute. I got one more Monkeyface care about you down here. So can I have it? You said I could keep whatever I find Can I have it for protection while?

We're here, and I'll give it back to you. Once we're done saddle presses, the button more times, fine. Thank you. There you go. I know how you are with germs. By the way, does the actual biosuit like nothing fit? Over my television head? Yeah but it looks like a dust cover ridiculous. You're addicted. Oculus. Alright, you prom 8 motherfucker. Let's go. I missed twice. Yes, you are the flashes of the room expired and the monkey gets

even more angry. And in one of the flashes you see that it has three eyes one right in the middle of its head sideways, you're not sure, but you'll swear, it's the eye of a goat. Why Miss three times. I'll tell you that monkey. You put a bullet After Rolling 22 through the middle. I of the monkey. It takes serious amount of damage a lot. There's a hole through the middle of its head and Romeo d-10. All right we'll attend ain't is

nice. The bullet ricochets through the body and one of its ears blows out completely it now can't hear through its right side at all. It scrambles towards its are looking for it and starts to eat it. So so I found a book I've been reading. It's been pretty interesting. It's by Dian Fossey. Yes. It's like permissions and monkeys and apes. Did you know that gorillas are monkeys. I didn't know that. No. They're an ape. They're not a monkey. Did not know that.

How can you read with a TV for a head? Scan the pictures? Mmm. You don't have to still be cyber. As I'm trying to keep nice polite. Conversation Timeless honestly curious. We return to Jeb downstairs, the monkeys been distracted, so they get a disadvantage, this attack rolling, a critical fail, they start to choke on the ear in they take one damage. Well, I think it's time to put this animal down. We'll go ahead and pull that trigger it.

Let her rip and you do Three, you lost two bullets. Fly through both of the eyes and choking, the monkey falls to the ground. Dead finishing off. The monkey is timed perfectly with the elevator doors opening and Remy finishing. His conversation with Sano about how he reads. Jibs, just cared like on one knee refill in the chambers of his Of his revolver. Well, took y'all long enough, we got little cameras on the on the sides of the TV. That let me see.

You know that, right? No. Well look who decided to show up. You have no room to talk Jeb. You jumped down An Elevator Shaft, like an idiot. Shall we get started? Give me back my flamethrower. Brett. Hey, are I want to go check out that cacophony over there in the other room Willy once again, the Roaring and rolling of beasts can be heard behind the door. Label, 20 wind there monkey carcass over there with a few holes in his head. You don't worry about that. That's been take care of.

You killed? Yeah, I wonder who did that. It was mere a me. It was me. Hmm. You killed one monkey. It was a little crazy. I things got tense but I took care of it. It could have been fed. Oh, much worse. It's a gorilla. It's on. Oh, it actually had a tail. So it is a monkey. Why would it be a gorilla? Doesn't look like a gorilla. Yes. In a sauna. And since I know, but I was more distracted by your monkey ComEd. Why would it be a gorilla?

Because it looks like a gorgeous to come on, you know. That's, that's definitely a monkey. Yeah, we don't have gorillas here in this testing, facility, nine. Yes. Were there gorillas in those tests? Hello. Hi. Hello over here. Look at me. Hi, were there? Gorillas in this facility? Gorillas are good for this. I already bought out everything around. Thank you. You're welcome. You maybe you should read. Well, that's a really big month as I do that.

Yes, your goddamn. Yes, but don't worry, you don't have to worry about and no more because this Dad, I killed it. You're welcome. Now I own it. What you should go take a look. No Jeff it sounds like you. You're really you're really hungry for praise right now. And I understand that that is probably stemming from some sort of neglect in your childhood. But in this scenario, I will praise you but with praise comes more responsibility.

So in fact you are going to check out the cacophony from the room labeled Zoo. Well then give me back my flamethrower. No you didn't use it for this monkey. Well this was one monkey G here. The amount of voices coming from that place, it's gonna be a lot more problems. There you go. There it is. Well, as long as you're not close, In there without the tools that I need, are you? Can somebody do something now that noise is driving me crazy.

I'm going to walk to the past the zoo and then maybe we'll have more to go. Through zoo, I actually don't think that we need to go through. The only thing that's in there is another tank that I know of and spare parts for a animals Animal cider tag line. I would not wait well you will I think you forget we have another member of party that ain't here with us but might be able to use some of that. Some of that animal cyber Tick. That's bathing. That's baiting.

Don't fall for it. That is definitely GM. Baiting. What I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna go ahead and take just take a quick look. Just stays there. A little window or something I can peer through. See if there's anything that has a door. It's closed something right, Nelson American, take a look at. So Jeb here Jabba. What we're going to do is we're going to check out fabrication first see if there's anything that can help us and then we can open the door. I will fire in a fireball for

you. And then you can check for cybernetics for your fucking bird. Hey, she's a lady. All right. Sloane is a beautiful wonderful bird and she deserves some of your respect. Thank you very much. Mmm, you know what? Wow, y'all go take a look at the other room and I'll take just a little sneak peek. In there. I'm I'm I go directly to the other room. I will also go to fabrication. Shaggy to step in my way is really interesting. I think Jeb has a death wish. I'm just loyal.

I told you he that relationship with the bird is unnatural. It is, it is, it is unnatural the way, the struggle in his eye, when he talks about the way you lows only happy. When he talks about that bird is disturbing. Well, and, and his pal. Passion for this bird has made him throw himself into very dangerous situation. He thinks without any backup or any any plan. It's a very strange off. He goes wandering off into this, is frankly, very dangerous area also has bird is ugly.

And I knew, I loved you. I'm just going to say this real quick. I don't know who hurt you in a past life and why you have no loving soul, no more, but no find somebody to hold on to because obviously you're dead inside. I'm going to the really interesting that you the whole lot is really interesting because you say that. And it's me and saw. No and and vanilla and we're all just staring at you. When we don't know which one of us, you're interested. This e. Is he talking about Jebediah?

Because that would make a lot of sense and you guys fade off into the other room and Jeb. Your left staring at the store Romy Estelle's. Check to see if you can a little peek wants to take you. I'm going to sneak up for my back against the wall. So try to just give the Dortch so little bit of a Creak open. And that's 23, the effluent and the blood lubricate, the door and is slide silently about two

inches to the right. And in the room, you see Gore blood across the walls slash marks, the cages are all broken. Inside, see a lion. The tiger and a bear zombie grabbing for scraps running along the walls and the back of the room. You see the bear chewing on a vulture that it is ripped apart and next to it is a table, that's what you recognize some pretty rare Ultra pots. Well I'll be damned before you continue. You guys enter into the fabrication room.

Here, there is a large machine, the fabricating more of the product. In pill form, there is a mid-table, a dissection table, mmm. And there could be some other stuff in here. BM, probably looked around here. Vendor would you mind helping me? I don't, these scientists hide things. In the weirdest places. Should we check the machine? That seems like the best bet. Yes. You go to the machine and it displays an error message, subject, containment failure

fabrication system lockdown. It seems that computer is locked. 9. Yeah. Hi mine. How do I unlock the system? You can tame the up all the other. The you can tame those. You can take the test up to the test subjects type subjects test such as the ones that don't speak anymore. Ah there's the the zoo, the animal containment center aisle, I resumed the door. What a donk you wrote zoo on the door. What is dunk? It means nine. Yeah, I'm dunk. Nice to me.

So nine what you're telling me is that we need to contain the zoo and then the computer will unlock. Yes. Yes, yes, yes, wonderful. Thank you, welcome. All right. Well, you heard them? Yeah, I did hear them. It seems like we have to go help Jeb first. yeah, if we must wait, let me get a look around here. Maybe there might be something useful for accused. Go ahead. Roll for it. Retro 16 just good enough. So a few things you notice.

You find a first-aid graft kit which would fix a pretty bad wound. It's the same kind of graph kit that I only used to repair their arm and they first arrived here and the pretty expensive. So where's the decent amount? I'm there's a few medical pieces of equipment like a some bandages, a leg splint and some various pieces of scrap metal on them. You do notice though is how light is created or how do I notice bike is created? And there's in the fabrication machine is why are you shaking

your head? Iona, don't tell him. Don't tell him. Don't tell him but he found. No no no I figured it out. I figured your secret. Fuck, don't tell him. I got I got smart brain science. I'm afraid just viciously shaking my head. No, you know, viciously shaking her head.

No as Remy opens up, just this canister cover on the fabrication machine and inside floating Why is this horrible worm thing every now and again burps and the sort of floating in this horrible, green liquid, it seems to be alive. And it seems that machine has lots of needles inside of this worm, which is a genetically engineered creature that secretes this substance they've been testing with I would like to check that out a little bit further away, I took your old 24

that's really good. You recognize that it is in a bulletproof glass case and is he, it doesn't breathe. Oxygen, is that movable know? It is bolted into the machine, so that's what the fuck is this? What is what? Oh my God. No, I knew 299 unmute. What is this 9 mute and unmute mute? It is an executive order. It flies off to the other side of the room to sulk in the corner sort of hover. Look I honor I know we're not ever here.

So if you don't, so if you tell me right now, what the hell, this is, obviously, when we're done. I forget, but I should know what the fuck were going up against right now? Me. I don't think you understand how little power you hold here. So don't look at this thing. I see it. And you're okay with this. I mean, I am not okay with a lot of things. Remy dislikes. That Remy will remember that the pop-up on his face and looks up a new screen? Amazing.

Well, I I don't understand what the big deal is. Obviously there's something funky going on here with their zombies. Sorry is that's not the term we're supposed to use, I'm Louie Dewie, whatever they are and I own a knows what the fuck's going on but they don't want to let us know what the fuck's going on. Does it matter? My point. Thank you. So know, my point to you Remi is that I can kill you here and then you definitely won't remember any of this. This and then you definitely

will have never been here. Don't threaten me, don't threaten me. Don't threaten Iona. I like you, Amy, I walk up. And I walking right towards the elevator, you're walking towards the elevator as in you're leaving. Yeah. You don't need me. I'm out. Nine follows you. I'm not I'm not. I mean I don't Do you want me to silence one or both of them? I Skylar do not want to kill Remy but we do have to stop him from leaving understood. My hit that button on the elevator. Get those doors open.

And I walk over to the elevator I'm leaving. Can you neutralize him without killing him? If it is requested I'm requesting it. Hey, leave he called, leave he called, leave nine starts to freak out. It's, I goes red and an arm sticks out of it. And it grabs her by the neck, and spins around, pushes them up the wall, up to the top of the room. Do I resist torture drugs roll? Okay, we're having a GLaDOS moment. Having a hard GLaDOS moment. Dirty rotten.

Liar said he didn't have arms. Yeah single piece of garbage. Said he didn't have arms. You you continue to dangle so you guys walk into the Elevator room. And Remy is now hanging from his neck in front of the elevator being propped up by was a robot. Yes. Can I use my tech? Because obviously, I feel like I probably might my hands. I didn't have my weapon in hand

so I can't attack. Can I use that to somehow use my tech to like reach somewhere inside and would have said yes to that you failed that resist torture drugs, check So Jabs, you're an adult with that team. Jeb is at the door, he has he's got a, a he's got a smoke grenade and one arm in one hand

and a road flare in the other. And then he hears the commotion going on behind us. He spins around and sees his the only person that has shown any respect towards them being choked out by that annoying piece of shit. And he drops both of the things in his hands. Pulls out a pistol and ghost. Robo, you better back the fuck

down and starts walking over. Just keeps on Puff the robot turns around and it looks at you the pupil gets even smaller in it, it tilts to the right, still holding Remy behind it and it says our secrets to broke the fork. Do I'm gonna give you about the count of three to to let go. And I think friend, The situation is solving itself, is this mission is to protect the executives and the the building from property being discovered three. a question before you

countdown, Jeb, Is the zoo door. Still open Justice. Just a hair. You want to shut that first three? Mm2? One and a half Romeo face of Lisa off. Yeah. Like they're going to face off with an AI. Yeah, you know, were freaking John Travolta, Nicolas Cage, junk, your face, and put it on the robot. The robot has the tastiest? Perhaps interrogation persuasion facedown? I apologize. Okay, cool. Cool plus rep. Plus a detail. Okay dip. I'll soon put him down. Roboball. Put him down.

Or I'm gonna push you down there old higher than you. So you take a - 220 future actions, or you can just back down one, that's it. You were asked for it. Shoot that fucker you miss. It's the bullet glances off. A force field around the AI. Does he do anything back? Because I'm shooting again. If not, they start counting down, Hmm. Nine. Yes, it stops its countdown 9. I don't think he's leaving puts Remy down. You fall to the ground until

cats has been activate activate. I regret my actions. I go to the naughty corner. Now goes back to Blue and just flies over to the corner. I ordered you sick that that roboball on Remy I did was on. We're doing we're turning against each other. I did not sick. 9 on Remy, not at all. Well then what the hell? Did I choose C? Well, it looks like nine is automated to protect the facility and the administrators Well, let's hope it doesn't happen again or that that bowls.

Having a few holes in it. No, I don't mind that thing fucking annoying. We just can't leave until the job is done. Exactly. Well, in that case, I got a little lower. Looting to do. Well, we have to clear that room anyway. I was that right? Yes, it's all. We're here to help you. Sano goes up to Remy and examines him. Is he breathing how you feeling, really? You find. It doesn't rain. Just doesn't have the, he's not breathing those oxygen somehow. It doesn't play through the throat.

So how are you? You were being held up by. What seems to be the supercharged version of that levitation things. So part of that experience, you realize that the object for a small period Odds of time. The little levitation engine can actually lift a decent amount of weight. But in bursts a bit like your 10-minute ability. But in much shorter amount of time, you have to do some more investigation to work out the depth of that mechanic. Yeah, Remy Remy is fine.

Remy's also pissed. So Remy has now Flipped a switch. He's not breathing. He doesn't breathe. I don't believe it. Nine route. Eating Renee, you're at 30. I'm fine. All right. And in case you're interested, I breathe through exhaust vents to the top of my head, the top of my head using a internal HVAC system with a system of fans. Thank you very much. I was let's just get this job done. Move. All right. I go to the zoo area. Open the door before.

I'm quite about it though. Romi still sir. the band notices, you Can I notice the canister that we had been told as in there? The kindest 20. The fire kind of state. Yes. You can see it. You're not even shoot that and do I think if I aim and shot that it would blow up and hit them? I I would say it would do some damage. Did you want to have a proper? Look at these things because they're huge. As a player. Yes, as the character I'm pests and I just want to get shit done valid.

All right, so when you enter the room, you see these 3 creatures only the bad notices you but they're bloody huge, like oversized. They had eaten. All the other animals including quite a few monkeys that were left over a bunch of different birds including about what you can see is about three or four vultures and it smells tearful in here not that you would know. Now, because Remy can't smell anything. But the bear does notice you

tricked us gets up throws. The vulture carcass against the ground and comes towards you slowly. And just before that, just as he's coming towards you, you're saying, you know, shoot the canister. Yes, the bear is coming at me. Is it coming at me like a regular bear? Would ya, this is currently still trying to work out if your food because you have a television for it. For had so it's not interested in eating a robot. So it's still trying to work out of your food. You got a few moment.

Can I can I because I'm guessing all of that Gunk is on the ground. It's very slutty. Can I use that to help slide under the bear? And if I get a good run, slide all the way over to set canister and try to Chuck it, making them all go to that. Yes. But just like any AOE attack in a video game it will do less damage to everyone rather than a Eagle Target. Not. Oh yeah. I would like to do that. What would you like me to roll? Romy and Athletics, check and

roll. Me an attack with your weapon. You've go for a skit. You roll a 13 on Athletics and as you go to try and scared underneath the bear. You can choose. Now, do you want the canister to be hit or do you want to get out of this without getting hurt? I would like to get at this look like. So you go to slide underneath the legs, but the, the bear actually takes a foot forward and you slam right into its left

leg. Although, you are aiming at the canister, the bear goes to grab you, you fire and blow off half of its poor giving me, the opportunity to roll back, pretty close to your position but you have alerted. The other animals you are completely unscathed and you have caused roll rolling attack while the damage rather. All damage for me was 19 damage on that bear.

It looks at his hand picks up the remaining piece of his hand and eats it. Welcome to who is and now the tiger and the lion had been alerted everyone. It's time to roll for initiative. All right, well, I was gonna do this little sneaky but I guess we're taking these things out, aren't we? Wow. Okay everyone Road really bad on my side. I mean, we all roll pretty bad on our side too. No. But the lion, the tiger and the Bear. All, they all roll, 5 6 and 7, that's bad.

Oh my everyone pulls into the room and Remy your invigorated by this success of getting, just out of range of the best wipes, all the animals have their attention on. You have a little moment and an T to attack. What do you do? I would yeah, I think the best thing that I can do, what I got is I'm just gonna open up with my assault rifle, again on the bear and I'm gonna make it into whatever kind I'm going to make it into a fucking rug, you hit

roll damage and it 49 damage. It's just not that I It's its chest area, hitting some of its natural armor. You ablated it that armor a little and so it now does five damage. So did I just like skin? Some of the rotting are often. So now instead of having an armor of fool as a number of, who do you want to hide a little

compromise? No. Can I use my free action to look around for anything that could work to my advantage, say, like a fire suppression system, or maybe something else that could be useful. As a weapon, that is an animal shock collar. What does that look like? It's like animal control. Like a long. Stick with a collar on the top. It doesn't do damage though. It looks like it would be able to handle this. One of them.

It would be able to handle, probably the tiger bear in the line of got a lot bigger than probability. Experiment was designed to create, shall we say I'll make a dash for the for the collar cool Romeo detents, when I don't follow you, do a double flip and grabbing new.

You have it now tools. I'm just gonna Roll On The Ground, grab it and start twirling it around like watching from one of those old flatscreen, TVs of old fight Master Jackie. Chan saw this Drunken Master which one looks like the toughest one out of the three. The lion is really quite large so probably the lion. Okay, I will. Withdraw my cute blade for the first time for me. Sheath on my side and I will activate. And then when you hear activate,

you feel it hum in your hand. Yes, I will get used to the way it moves in my hand for a little bit and then charge in and attack the line set of the toughest. Yeah, yeah. Attack the lion 422. It's a real Humdinger. Yeah, you hit, you hit it. You cut off his front right arm, but it said some be Abomination. So, it just keeps running in the same direction.

Like A bowl at a bullfight, just keeps going in the street Direction, I'll do 14 damage and that was my awkward swing and then I'll do another downward swing SEC - that's a crit and then we got to roll on the critical table because I lost more than half Health. Yeah, throw me a from E to D 6. Okay. 77. Foreign object.

All right. So your second hits the lion in you chop off a huge chunk out of its side with Falls, to its side skids and the spare fire tank lodges into the side of the lion and it turns around and growls at you, it's very weak but it now has a fire tank lodged in it. And his skin is burning and shins a lot of Nike. Yes, it is. It smells like bacon.

I would just like to point out that burning Hair does not smell like bacon and I don't think the scent of cooking flesh could cut through the absolute disgusting stench. That is that is permeated this entire facility. I think you're more worried that it smells like bacon, then it actually smelling like Baker. Yeah, I'm worried. It smells like bacon. Think about how long you've been in this facility? And how many people have been using the bio suits? I only you're in a bios 8.

Remy your and about should you don't smell the bacon as much. Everyone else smell of bacon. Smells really good. You want to eat it. I just understand what's happening. Next time on no meetings. Stand your ground buddy, I'm coming and Jeb runs over to back up. Remy unholster in the two 45s. I slip in the muck, while going forward to charge it and then

super upset. Actually, you can see a little bit of emotion and fear strikes on ozai's, just behind them a little bit and it's get out of there fun. Do the lion attacked Ben Del right? But what about about the and that's an order. Yes, it is. All of my look. No, I am not lucky, I'm privileged. That's why I have so much. And as I spin them out of the way, so that they are behind me, I whip back around, and shoot at the lion where the canister is lodged into their side.

Hi. Just your friendly neighborhood. Cat cleric on thrill. And here's a word from your sponsor, save the date.
