Transcript

Last time on no latency, he will take that bit. 2080 shake my hand. It's pod people stop them from shooting us. Like you did the last floor. I have to look around to see if there's a computer. I've been Dale, you're quite limber and I didn't know you could dance like that. Now, dude, keep in mind for things that we told you about. Why spend all doing this? Will after that. I'm a little hesitant but I'll give it a shot. Remy, was it a good idea to have Jeff. Of be alone over there.

You know what the the world ain't gonna change unless the people in the world change that puts me at 3:00. If I kill him I'm at for maybe somehow a key card. Got lost in the cushions of this. Faux leather couch. Yeah his fingers were a little sticky. What are you doing to me? As you all Ascend, in the elevator up to the next floor. There's a television in the corner. I mean, advertising can never Escape you and the advertising is interrupted by the news. Networks in the board with your

host. London are, oh, man. Good afternoon night City. This is network 54 and I'm London Arrow, men and old. Drug has resurfaced on the streets of night City and it's causing quite a kitten.

Catch has been making its way through the streets, a highly addictive substance, according to the drug and substance Administration almost, none of the kitten catch on the streets, is factory-made and biotechnical who currently holds the intellectual property rights has stated that taking Homebrew, kitten, catch could land you in a law suit for breach of copyright night City police made no statement. As to the legality of the substance right?

Meow, but, is expected to after a nap in the sun Shone in related news, the sequel to the theater show. Cats cats to macavity Electric Boogaloo has been put on hold due to kitten, catch related, public sanity, concerns. On the story as it develops. I'm London are Roman and this is network 54, stay vigilant. My city was looking forward to that musical. Yeah, I wanted to see it. Well, it's a musical. Yeah, the solar kitten catch thing. Seems to be kind of spiraling

out, of control. Well, it's not Uh, Sara Lee biotechnical asphalt and I don't honestly I don't know why I automatically went to that. That was a knee-jerk reaction. I'm very sorry. No one can probably almost leave your. I mean if that's where your hands go on first thing, but if I might be a little bit of Truth in don't you think? Yeah. Well but what's a what's the harm? Honestly though he's your list at.

Well here's what I think and this might be a conspiracy theory but I think that the large corporations are trying to get the You shouldn't addicted to their substance, they can continue to pump out, see it substance and charge a premium and maybe even much look, you can add as much for it on the internet. Now, there is Maurice chores. You find little substance. Yeah, it's I was just browsing on my toilet so long elevator, right? Yeah, it's impressive. We had a whole new story like

this is one floor, right? Well there's nothing, it'll only slow because I love haters. A lot of the things in this building seems to suck. Yeah, there's no stairs here. So like if there's a fire this thing is going to be a hazard. Well no there are. If there were stairs, we could bypass all of the floors to go to the top. So we would probably still need key cards for the stairs. It's yeah, for the doors. That's true. That's how security works. Oh, yes.

Of course. It's not city after all. Yes. Look, I don't think I've ever been in a building that just lets me go straight to the top. That's crazy. You always have to stop at every floor, right? That's exactly how elevators work. Sure. Plus and this we're here at the next. Oh no, maybe there's loot here, Jeb. Oh finally and you all arrived at floor too. Programming. So what's in front of you is a cone-shaped room and on the right and left, there is a large

mirror. You can see yourselves, there's a door in the middle and a red carpet is a big red. Arrow on it. In front of you is a door. It says room P. It says go in here. P for programming. You have to find out. We have the room key right here, the elevator key now. It's not the same thing. Well, I who is so who's to say that it's even locked? It's good point. Can we walk up to the mirror? Yeah. Well, First, I'm going to check my parents and then I'm going to

always screaming. Okay, I'm also going to sanitize my hands. So let me roll a d-10. Oh, I wasn't looking. No, my sanitizer is that just one or both hands? Iona. You've run out of sanitizer. There's got to be something here. You've run out. You have none left. There's got to be some in this building. You're gonna have to find some and we'll find some. I'm Arguing with my brain currently. Good. Just so you and I are clear you. That's now your number one

priority. Yes, I do know that I am aware now that I am acutely aware of the fact that I am in this disgusting Steve mansion with no sanitizer and it and there was none left when you try to use it. Personal grooming though, on the bright side. You look great, but you can't get over the idea that you're covered. In germs Avondale, I need you for a while. Moment please. Yes. I was going to put my finger up to this mirror to see if it was a two-way mirror.

But I don't have any sanitizer and I don't want to touch anything anymore. Okay. Well, do you want, do you want me to roll for that? Or should you? Um, I will roll for that. Okay, Leah's place your finger on the mirror so I can see if it's a two-way. Mirror was this the start of a magic trick? That's exciting? No, it's what you that was. My attempt at comedy. Was it not good? No, sometimes comedy go straight over my head, okay. I'm going to roll this as

bureaucracy. How how you going to roll this as be Rock. Because when we're because when we're taking intake interviews, we have people behind two-way mirrors. Make sense. I've seen a lot of two-way mirrors makes perfect sense at me. I'm making a role for bureaucracy sticker. The mirror as Vandal prices it. You like talk them through the specifics of what?

One of those windows are like and then you tell them what it was like to watch them, be interviewed and as they push it bows a little bit and the light refracts and you can see into this dark Corridor so I was correct. It is indeed a two-way mirror wait, hold on a two-way mirror would mean that's a mirror from both sides. Well it means that you can see through one's good.

Yeah. It's one of the things is that if you put your finger up against a two-way mirror, if it's an irregular mirror, you can see your finger touching, if not, when you put your finger up to it. There's a yes, basic app. It's me out. So now I do that all the time. Every single mirror, you contact. You want to touch. You should do it in public restrooms. You should do it in dressing rooms. You should do it in hotel rooms with airbnb's. Yes. You know what would also work?

If you just broke every mirror, you come cars that would solve that problem to event Del. Can you break this mirror? I mean, sure, I can give it a shot. I'm gonna try the door well that just to see if it's locked. The door is opened. It leads to a long Corridor with another door at the end. As you get up to the door, you notice that there are two trash cans in the corner of the room. One on either side of the circular wall in front of you, I'll look in there. Real quick.

Before I go in the hallway I'll look at the other one. All right, Romeo perception, your eyes braca see? Right? The go to roll for every cyberpunk character well that handgun was for breaking the mirror. Okay. We'll get to that in a second. Fuck nice. No it's onesies. Mmm. You both find in the trash cans retro. You find a discarded Steve Speedo and Sano. You find an empty juice box. Put your four Innings at the beginning of this episode for the juice box obviously, very

slick. So juice my ass very old Juice Box. All right, then Del I'll just break it with a gun and they point the gun at the glass and they pulled the trigger. Well, you could have just used your leg, I know it's gonna be fine, I pulled the trigger and it turns out that the glass is bulletproof and the bullet ricochets around the room. Can you roll me? Everyone roll me a Evasion roll everyone, bear. Now you're in the same room. You're in the lobby room.

Everyone, everyone no one's left this room Wendell and I both got 13, which makes sense because we are directly next to the mirror. The bullet ricochets, grazes fendall, and then it sticks you in the shoulder Iona, right? In the shoulder where you always

get hit. And then it lodges itself into sarno's arm into the top of his armor, plating it by 10 and you both lose 1 HP. Turning I'm turning my half shield on so no, you don't actually lose any HP but your armor goes down my one on your arm. Then Del oh I'm sorry, I didn't check to see if the glass was bulletproof. What we'll what did we say about making harsh to like Fast decisions? That I should I be supposed to think you're supposed to think

things through now? Please the mirror wiggled though. So, I think it opens somehow I go over to the window. Yes. I look at them in the eye, right? And oh yeah, you shot me. I didn't mean to. Listen. They also show any world at 14, so I didn't, I didn't mean to, of course, it's twice. If you met you, I would kill you. I believe you took, please be careful with your weapons. I will be and don't shoot things. You don't know what they're going to do. You could have killed someone, okay.

Including you including me? I mean I got hurt. Look, I'm bleeding. Damn it could hit your head. Kind of shot right back into your eyeball. Then you'd be dead. Thanks Dad, so don't do it again. I won't do it again and then Del awkwardly salute, buddy, don't need a salute don't need daddy there, okay, got it. Just stop, don't do that Wendell it's totally okay. It's not it's not a walk away.

Okay, go do whatever you do. Don't open the bead or whatever and oh for the love of science, please think. Things through well I'll think things through in the future I promise and if you don't know ask questions. Ask questions do things later. You got it. Yep. I tie my jacket around my waist. I just had this retailored. I will get some more stuff after this. I'm sure we'll find something to sell something. What are we gonna do? I go down the hallway. All right, I will follow you.

Go down the hallway and you arrive in a large. Circular room as you come up to the door. It flashes. Open. It detects you and just swings open. And there in front of you, is this big room and in this big room, there are nine fresh Steve's sitting in chairs at they're all wearing headsets. And they're watching like a video of some description. They're watching. Steve tutorials. Essentially, they are ya being

programmed. Can we see the videos or they like onboarding videos as a terminal in here that showing the video also. Are they all just wearing speedos? Yeah they are any of them are any of them? Pleasuring themselves to the Steve videos? No, they're all kind of catatonic, if I'm honest. It seems like a very Steve thing to do to Steve to a Steve shows but they're not doing it today to themselves. Maybe others have in the past. I don't know. Question. Yes. They're all sitting in like

chairs. Right? Like regular steel chairs. Is there a water cooler nearby? Yes. And there's also three mirrors in here. Hmm. Okay. I have a plan. So what I would like to do, I'd like to ask everyone else to sleep. The room, why? I'm just going to clear the room ruff ruff fast.

Hopefully spoke a, I'd like to take the bottle of water from the water cooler, and proceeded to slosh it in a circle ring around the Steve's so that it reflects their feet and the chairs, and you'll just doing this out in the open. Yep. Right. Then when stopping it, I'm gonna go into the hallway and watch them. Right? Yeah. I fluffed is the lobby Ambrosio this plays? I am so, yeah, I'm still and the power cable that connects to the screen.

I would like to sever it and okay, hopefully that breaks their spell somewhat And then drop it into that ring of conductive water on the conductive chairs that their feet are also slashed in and proceeded to shock them with to at least 280 V .5 a which is the real lethal damage, huh? Creative, way of killing nine freshly grown human beings esteems human. Oh well, we'll find out eventually I suppose we've already had this moral

discussion. One of my sight so whether or not This more orders guys, discussion fucking kill them. So you unplug all the Steve's and then you stick it into the ground roll me, something I'm going to just roll basic Tech because I'm basic as fuck. That's a crit. Jim motherfucker, cause I'm basic as fuck. You manage to zap them all. All of them, Get Zapped, they

all Shake around. And then they start to sizzle, one of them, something explodes, underneath their headset and Blood starts to pour down there Chief. You suspect one of their eyeballs, the first and the all the bodies, all fall to the floor in an electric, hump until eventually somewhere. A fuse goes off and the electricity dies, your creek giving you safety even though you set electricity on the ground that you're standing on

others, we grounded. That's the only thing that's left on because it's on a separate circuit is the in room control. Computer which is behind you. And as you boop it, your elbow hits, the correct number and it unlocks and now you have access to what they were listening to. Hey that's that's 13 for the scoreboard for me now. Jeb yeah cat named that's why he wants to do it. Hey check it out. Well I found out what they were listening to he orders. Well just Iota sucks.

That sucks, sato's, putter face. And that the Cowboys dad gets crabby. He also is rubbish. It has the primary mission of a Steve is to take down the crew of no latency. You must never tell anyone where this building is. Under pain of death, you are being programmed to shoot yourself in the head if you tell anyone so you'll do it. The third perogative of esteem is to amass money to continue. The great evolution of steam to see her heritage How are you?

So the that part there, everyone if I could just get your input that part there were he says to take out the recording and the the the tape and do it again. Was that part of the programming for the steam? So they just kept taking up the tape. I think they were just, I think this it was whoever was recording it wanted to do another, you know, have another go in and I think I own has, right, because it feels I'm looking at this. This is based off of Old technology, like ancient

technology. Something that like all the really, really old people used to call VHS. No one has ever heard of it. Stand for, nobody knows, it's been lost in time. It's probably video Something video video happy sister but you home but you home system? No it sounds great. It sounds basic fuck video does. I don't know what else. So okay I understand that that's what would confuse you but for me I'm more confused on that. The Steve's, our number one priority is fucking with us now.

Did not say fuck with it did say fuck. So are they trying to fuck us? They certainly been doing a terrible job so far. I mean if we remember correctly the first Steve we did run into is said that their name was Steve and they're here to please. Yeah, this is U2. U2 cos this, me and Jeff have nothing to do with the original. I see it. Did they say Fuck sauna Channel? Steve.

Well, they said the included us and the fucking but we did not cause the ire of the Steve's. It was you tired of doing anything before you met us. I had nothing to do with the Steve's. I also don't think that it was me, then why does he hate us so much? I mean they said that I so because we kill them. I don't know. We killed one in the desert but that was because he was trying to do eyes blue.

We shot a rocket launcher off and and now it's there has to be plenty of people that are killing still. We have remember the origin story of The Steve villain? Do you need a refresher? You like, no. I think canonically the fact that I don't, Member makes sense Steve has become so unimportant to us that he's not even worth remembering is it is it safe to go back in there? Have you turned it off? Here me Sports watching.

It's cool. All right the search the room actually I don't think I am going to go in there. I thought about it but there are a lot of Steve's and they're all dead and one of their eyeballs popped out and I'm not really interested in getting any of that on me. Jabba, you near that? Vroom. Oh, would you were talking about the big circle room? Where a bunch of people died in someone's eye? Yeah, I imagine that was just right outside. I was watching. Okay, Romi, resist, torture

drugs. It's also time thanks to your tile. Beeping right now. Are you taking meds? No. Yeah, retro you all you rolled over. Whoa, money. Eat the I juice out of that Steve real bad and then you're probably going to eat the other one because it's just really tasty. I got just as you remove it from the top of their head, you discover that both eyes of popped out. One of them exploded in it, but it's like a bowl and you can eat

it like a cup of soup. And I just, you just turn it up to your mouth, like, like some Ramen. It's just dripping down my chin nose. Oh my goodness. And then your tile goes off and your and you get the notification. Take your Are you not even going to share any with Sloan? She gonna have some baby girl get in here. You're welcome, Sloan have a hot meal on me, then do yes. We might need to take Jeb off of that trial. That's how many wings does he pills left?

Oh my goodness, seems like a fatal. So, to be honest, and I'm not sure. That's, I know if you could just give us a second. No. Sorry. I'm not sure if the It will wear off off of this formula. We have no idea if the condition goes away, when you stop taking a drug right, well, we do have Sawtooth on it. Yeah, I mean, he's a good medic. Great great, great asano. Could you please come back over here? Jeb. You gain 5, HP above your regular. Oh, yeah. Yes. There might be a time soon that

we have to put him down. I mean, it could be that or just rain him. I'm s do it right now. I would be very much really well that. Well, let's wait at least till the end of his trial, which is three days from now. But also, he seems to be basically orgasming by eating dead bodies. That's what I'm witnessing for make. Make this out. Oh my, you get in my mouth. The blood bukkake for you. Well, here's the thing. Is that we need to observe him after the trial to see if the

side effects wear off. And if not we do have Sawtooth working on an antidote, currently to sell terasaka. Is there a chance he could become a hostile? There is a chance and that's why I'm asking. That we have a plan to hopefully restrain him chop off his head. A restrain him. I would like to avoid killing this test subject. Hmm. All right I will if he goes wild I will attempt to restrain him. Thank you. I would y'all talking about here is the mirrors? Oh, hey.

I think I might have an idea. Let me check something. Can I check to see if There is a light switch in the room, Ro perception. That's my jam, 12. Yes, you flip the light switch on and you drop your keys, going to bend down to pick them up. Yes, you bend down to pick him up and as you turn to your left, you see on the underside of the trash, can a red bus, whoo button. Well, I have to have to press the shiny button. You pressing the button on the trash, can on the North or the

South, those two. Hmm, yes, there's two, 21 in each trash can. Okay, I'm going to announce this to everybody that there are buttons in the trash cans. Why would that be buttons in the trash cans? Let's discuss a safe place. What do you expect? I assume there's some secret passage here because we have not found any sort of way to get above the throats of my extensive knowledge of traps and doors that I've learned from video game playing would teach me that we have to As both

buttons at the same time. Remy, this is not a video game, this is real and press the button. See what happened? Okay, push the right button. You press the one on the right? You hear a click and the mirror pushes back and then swings to the side and a corridor appears? Okay. I was wrong. So, I know I will I confer to you. I obviously my video game knowledge has failed. Me. God damn you. EA EA, it's in the game. I'll press the other button.

Now, you press the other button and the other mirror does the same. This time opening a passageway, to the other side. So now there's a passageway South and there's a passageway North's leading to a room on either side. Okay? But not the same room. So do we all go together as one to a room or do we Scooby gang - do you want to split up? Mmm. Yeah, I mean, I am fine with

splitting up if we Out for help. If we need it I will go down this one with Wendell since this is the one that we shot at. So you're going north. Yes I'll go south I will also go sail job. Could you wipe your face please? You just cause her. What your colleague just got? You got jacket. I just got you that jacket. Honestly, I'm a blood stain on your jacket because you did roll a one earlier. I am so sorry.

I have no idea. It came over me, I like drella, gize, drunk, he kills my perhaps ultimately and gorged. Sure, bro. 11, that seems my personal grooming to me to say it, but this personal grooming 11 rope and he rolled it. And he rolled, he rolled a one in that 11 as well. And it's not enough and he spreads the blood more and get some on your brand-new pollster and equipment, and it now has Steve blood-stained into the stitching. All on one side now, man. I mean shit, I got the mixture

of fucked up, shit. I'm gonna have to take this to a dry cleaner. Amps. Get. Oh, I know, I know a great dry cleaner. Yeah, I'll take care of it. It's all right. My bad, my bad. I'm just look at Tha know. Are you you going with them or you coming with us? I will go with you. Jeb reeks of blood and it's rather disgusting. All right. So Iona, Sano and Vandal. Take the North Route and retro and Jab, take the South fruit. Who should we go with first? Go with Jeb and retro.

I'm peeking over retro shoulder. See if I can see into the Next Room. Meanwhile, I got my hand real close to my Colt 45. All right. You come up to a door, there's a door right in front of you. Bust it Down, Right row. Looks have a little finesse. You know, we. All right behind you. I'll kick it down. I'll mute kicking. Okay. Say miss out on. Okay, all right, you go and milk it. I'm just gonna go ahead. Pair my assault rifle, right? Breach and clear ready wait? Wait wait wait.

All right go for it. Whatever preach acquire, whatever breach and clear all breach and clear, I guess tactics, that's the thing, that's enough. Oh yeah, it's oh, God, not bad. Yeah, you wrote your old a 13? Which is good enough for the door to swing open. And is it swings open standing in front of you is a big fuck-off Steve with his gun pointed at At the doorway because he's been able to see you through the two-way mirror

the entire time. So he was ready and he pulls the trigger to shoot both of you and he's the years of very large large person and he has a plus one shotgun, he rolls a 16 and he hits both of you with The Buckshot causing 13 damage. I'll teach you. I like to say that Jeb was in front of me. Okay you take one less damage than him but this Steve just watched you kill And Steve's. Yeah. Astra he was ready. He also watched you find the door cause he'd you just walk

through a two-way mirror. He's been watching you the entire time. Okay, I'll shit back up. Close the door, close the door. He busted. It's a good thing. I've only got a rate of fire of one. Yep your boss did it's a good thing. The right Favre. One that how my voice? Sounded cool for a minute.

Damn it. I'll fix that and I guess I'll be going into initiative or can I ask ya roll initiative just so I know who's going first Jeb. I go back up, close the door, close the door, as I close the door, you hear it? Cheap sound and I like to think that from the Steve's point of view. He just hears a rolling sound. He looks down and those are frag grenade between his feet. Oh shit. Okay, where's evasion? Oh, that's 27 though. That's a crit 7.

That's not good enough. You try and do this cool move where you're like, yeah I'm going to throw it and slam the door but you Door and throw it and it hits the bottom of the door rolls against the very corner and you have less than three seconds to jump away. You still have an action, I'll give you it. If you want to do something cool, a troll evasion and also retro relevation because you're standing in a small hallway with a grenade.

But so yeah, I'm jumping out of there as fast as I can. And maybe we'll, hey, at the very least, maybe a little explode and then the, the glass will go shattering towards our good friend. Steve, what's your evasion roll? Patrick, my vision role is 22. So, retro you rolled a 22 and Jeb, you rolled at 7:00. That's not very good. So retro, you know what? Two steps back and you trip

slightly and you slam. The bulletproof glass shot and it traps Jeb in this tiny room in it and the grenade goes off and it causes 22 damage. So it's all right. Sorry. So you take your armor which is now 10. It gets a bladed by 2 because it's a grenade and then you take whatever damage is left in us. We don't have to kill jab. He's, they're gonna do God, it's amazing. Now, on the other side of the, of the door you hear the big Steve start to laugh.

I can't I come out of the lowers funniest. I come out of the north side. Did job just try to blow himself up? Is that door? Shut is Jeb in there? Yeah, Jeb is in there, as well as a big fuck-off Steve and I knew just left him in there with a grenade and a steep hill. Grenade. And I was trying to get out and then I slipped on the blood trail, that he, that Jeb had left from all of his, you know, gorging and the door slip behind me.

When I fell back, I wonder I wonder if he's just Ravenous enough to get the Steve probably I just hope he's not ravenous enough to eat himself the. That is part of the that medication that is kind of what it is designed for. Do you do we need to help, or are you? Do you have this? I think we got it. Okay, let's go. Okay, I guess we'll do our side and now we know that there's a Steve there. Yeah. I'll have my gun and sort out. As we opened the door for the next.

I'm gonna stay back here tap and now you stay back to okay, retro. Do you want to finish your turn? Yes, I'd like to take my turn. You're gonna have to press the button again to open the door. We don't have that same time, you're wrong about that. I want to point that out to the friends, right? Yes. You're welcome. You're learning been do. Good luck buddy. Try not to kill Jack. Yes I'll press the button and go back the door swings open and there's a singed jet so eyebrows God.

Oh boy. Okay. Oh I fucked it up real bad, the Steve continues to laugh behind the door. How much name? Fuck you do I have left? You've got enough to get down the corridor. It's not very far. Can I get down the corridor running kick. Fuck off. Stephen the balls and then shoot them with a shotgun. Yes that sounds. Cool. Roll for it. Isn't Steve behind a door is but it does not locked. It's just okay. Oh, so if you kick it at all,

just fly open. Yeah. That's why it was easy to kick open earlier. Okay, so the double check, there's no reason for it to be, it's a secret door to a city. It's a normal door to a secret door 019. Yeah, that's good. You're all the 19 and you can do a cool thing. When you kick him in the balls. Okay, so I will get very upset my face. We'll just go to your shotgun as well. Yes, my face will turn to just that Statics know because I'm really angry now. And I'll go running down the hallway.

As Steve is laughing, because he's not paying attention because it's laughing so hard and as he's laughing so hard, I will proceed to kick him with my steel-toed boot, right? In the balls, hoping that he drops. To his knees. Which then take the shotgun straight to his forehead and let loose both sure. Oh, oh, fuck. That's a 20 and Twitter. I'm fucked. All right. You're all day. 20 and 26. That's a crystal that also

double pops. Yep. So that that causes the damage of this gun three times. It's also plus two for each one of those as well. So it's a plus 6. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see that 21 and 18 and a 22. Yeah. No. He's dead. It's, he's got an HP of 50. So, his head explodes batters against the glass now that you can see into the circle room, where he definitely just watched you murder all of his brothers and sisters I suppose or brothers. Yeah. Kiss Kindred his Kindred,

indeed, his kin. But everything else is body. Doesn't mean there aren't any women identifying Steve's. Yeah, that's probably what his head explodes at the head of this shotgun. And you can smell the salt as it fills the room. Its body hits the ground out of his neck hole. Comes some black smoke, it seeps

up into the sky. And now you're alone in this room and on the wall, it says, observation to, and you turn around and there's Jeb, dusting himself off, Jeb roll, resist torture drugs, 14. You can choose to eat the Steve to gain HP Turnigy of already, seasoned them for you and I like, Jeb car, like hobbles over. He's clutching his side where there's just like bits of Just shards of glass and grenade in him. You kind of like hobbles over it goes, you son of a bitch.

Steve, I swear to God, if this was any other day and I just take a severed arm and just Chomp it. All right, you feel a lot better. The outside wounds heal almost instantly, but the hunger starts to deplete a little bit. As you eat the Steve, he's got a lot of meat on him. You gain for HP back. Oh, hey of been better. Yeah, meanwhile in the north room. I have my sword outs. I have my gun out. I own a van Del are, like, on

the other side of the hallway. And I listened to the other side of the door to see, if there's any people behind it, you can hear sniffling. Look, okay. I say, I hear you in there. Drop. Drop your weapons. And we won't kill you. Yes, you promise. Yes, okay. Roll something for that bureaucracy. I'll roll persuasion. Great 16. I'm shit at that. That and your hair and put his gun down. Do I put my hands up? Yes. You have to tell me that.

No, is anyone else in the room with you know, you pause there. Sure. Because they're going to die if I come in and they see them with weapons, you can McKay. You can save their lives. Well, I mean There's no one here. So that's kind of. All right, I'm coming in. I'm killing anyone with a weapon. Okay, I haven't got a weapon night and I open the door. Are you open the door? And there is a Steve in his pants. Its hands up. There's no one else. That's just me. I know, right.

Can you tell me what I am sauna? I assume your program to hate me. Yeah, well, so no. How's it going? I have the situation under control. I've watched a video about. But oh I guess you know waving the he's weirdly Fanny. Okay. Are you different from the rest of the Steve's? I'm just fuck up. You're a fuckup, how are you fucking? Yeah. Oh, they say, oh, fuck. I'm so that's why they put me on. And Dewey. I'm might become a science.

Steve, what are you fuck up? I'm not killing it all as soon. It does. That does that mean that you're not going to kill us? What they gave me a gun? Well, you can give that to me. It's on the ground. I'd spend. Oh, don't touch it. Vandals gonna think? I'm just pointing, I'm just letting you know because if you touch it sauna will kill you. Then they'll go ahead and take that gun. All right. Fender goes and grabs the gun it shit. Steve, do you know anything

about what's going on here? Are you just another goon? I've been training. Okay. Do you know what they're trying but I haven't been given that clearance yet. You know what they're trying to do here make Steve's. But why are these what do you call it? Protocols, being given to this T is why I hate us, why steal money, why? All this stuff that's really above my pay grade. Then why did you tell that to people at our level?

Why do you do it? Because the brain thing tells us, okay, do you know how to get to a key card for the next elevator? The science officer has it. You were scary. It's a science officer in there. Is he ought to me? Other side of that door. They won't open it up. Is he armed? He's got to Oh, you mean a gun? Probably. Can you call him? And I call him, can you call him in here to open the door? Oh, I really thought that I don't give a shit. Sure, okay.

If you ask suspicious, I'll kill you, did you? You got it double finger guns. So the Steve rotten that one and he grabs his tile and it slips out of his hand. Pulls a grande, a cracked into eight different pieces. So in answer to your previous question, no, mmm. Gonna kill me, aren't you? Yeah, I'm gonna kill you. Okay, well thanks for at least a moment before you go. Do you want to meet you? Want to meet the others can I yeah, let's just do that for him.

Okay. I just want to know is what has a personality. This isn't make. A wish I own a. Come on Skye. Can you will you use the fires running? Can you come here chip and run me a hand? That's so cool and slow. Yeah. Oh shit. And I take out a gun that shoot up. Go for it. Can we? I just want to make it hits the mirror behind Steve and man to strike back at you roll.

Damn it. No. You take half of that, okay drama goddamn it bounces off and it like makes another scrape on your almost brand new holster, okay? I just Jim just slumps down. They all said they weren't I have at least a minute. Left. Hold on. Wait. So this one's up for grabs then? Well, this one is, this is, this is Sotto because he wants to die by. He played, oh, he promised? Yes. Oh, hi Steve. Do you remember, you kick me in the nuts.

I wanted to I'm as well as well, as you for Halloween, you're the know. You're the one who tied me up. That's why I got demoted to science. It's because you dressed up like him or because your back, excellent Knights defense. Listen. Instead of killing him. I measured his head for a cluster of, fuck up. Yeah. But don't ever get angry. That would be against your programming. Yeah. Wait. So you went against your programming Steve's can go against the program sometimes.

No, not a lot of trouble and it hurts actually okay. Can I ask for sidebar? Sidebar for the rest of us. Do I have to keep my hand? Yes. And you turn around and face the corner like you're in trouble so I can't 200 in. Yeah, okay. Oh my head I could do that. That's better for audio to thanks. Hmm, Jeb is passed out on the floor. Sidebar with that. Fine. That's fine. Please don't get that close to me. Please, please stay a little bit farther away. Okay. Okay, thank you.

So, we're in a unique position here. I believe in totally of eradication of all Steve's as we discussed. However, this is the first see that we have met. That is weird in Steve sense. Detective I did, I did feel that way. Mmm. Do we want to use this to our advantage? Somehow, he does seat Italy. Should we bring Steve along it good for now?

The Steve could help us if we need to bypass some area where only Steve's could get into, that's totally fair and he knows this building better than we do and he does seem to know us pretty well and he seems pretty ready to die if he fucks up so well, he knows as long as it's you. That does it? Hmm? Okay. You know what I meant. I'm not a whore. There's no threat here. All right? Steve. Yes, we are postponing your death if you help us. Okay. If the reason I had stopped just

thinking about the rules, right? We have to mess with you as much as possible. I'm shit at that. So I probably won't. I can't tell you where this building is. Mmm. I have to make a lot of money. Yeah. You know what make you Lot of money, but that would be us because we get paid a lot. Okay? That makes absolutely no sense, which will end at would also be fucking with us, because you'd be taking our money. That's a good loophole. Thanks Iona, you're so smart.

Thank you first. First point of order. Where is your hand sanitizer in the bathroom? And where's your bathroom? I'm at door. Can you open the door for me? They Won't Let Me Wait behind this door. Yeah. The other end of this room. There's okay. The next day, right? Okay, they let you in because they saw you kill everyone. Okay, let me check this room. Is there anything in this room than I can? I met would help us. Do perception 13? Yes, you have find much in the trash can.

What will you do? Find on the computer is a map of the floor. Okay, so you now have an image on the computer of what the rest of this floor. Looks like, and in the Next Room, there's a large large room with a computer terminal. There's some kind of circular opening in the middle of the room and then a bathroom South and an office. North. Okay. Well, looks like there's only one way to handle I guess. This is like, is this like a regular door? Or is this like a?

It's a do with a simple lock on it. It's just got a little turn lock again. It's a secret room. So it didn't need too much security, but there is a way to lock the door and they saw you do that so they locked it. Okay. Well, alright Sano, I'm gonna try to unlock the store after what happened in the last room. I'm going to need you at the ready to attack. Anything that might possibly be in front of it because obviously they know we're here.

Yeah, I'm ready. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and unlock the door. Someone want to kick. Jab awake. I will do it, but I'll do it really hard in his face. Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I think that's tickets. Loss of tooth there shano. Well, you could probably eat it and gain some help. Nope. Nice little too tough to chew. Listen, can we please get out of here? I just leave them like patch.

Catch up or something? Yeah, that's get through this floor and then get you, you need some sort of something. Yeah, we got a lot of humor in the party or something. It's wrong. Probably TT. RPG have a med tech. Now, I'm going to make one of those. Why does it look like your hand is stuck in the door? Because my hand is actually stuck in the door, I don't know. Oh, it's because you rolled a

six. Yeah, it's because I think my My tool hand got damaged from goddamn grenade and so it's actually like my finger is stuck in the door. Goddamn I get out my heat sword and I just like stick it in the door and like just cut a hole around, it just stands to it and scroll for it. It is like a light saber, a whole Attack. Yeah, let's be successful.

Okay 21:21. Yeah. You cut around the lock beautifully and now retro you're going to have to spend do something because there's now a piece of door stuck to the top of one of your fingers. Fuck. It's like a weight on my pinky. All right. Do you push the door open before that? I talked, I say to the Steve, Steve the funks. Yes, yes. Say here. We're going to kill everyone in there. Okay? After that, you're going to help us go through the rest of the floors. All right?

I mean that will mess with us so you take our money. Yeah. And then you get money. You don't reveal where this is so all your Protocols are funny. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. Just don't die. You got it. If you mess up we're gonna kill you but not in a cool way like in a dolly. No, please. Yeah. So don't mess up. Okay, yeah. Well let Jeb have you. Yeah, no yeah, no yeah probably kill himself in that time. And then what are you guys talking about? Hey Steve.

What they say about My Looks owner and vendor land Sano. And then looks at retro and tries to make eye contact but can't work it out. Jeb is like still, Jeb is still holding onto like his side. Like I like still have clearly bleeding and you just slowly like grabs for his gun like, fumbles a little bit like coccyx back places. It just Like Point Blank at his head. Steve don't fucking life out of me. Come on. Rope is a rope is waiting. Don't kill this. Steve.

We want this to you but Steve I want a pet Steve. They said you were the worst one. You're all the 21. They said you were the worst one, but they said you were the first one. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. That's not me. They did it. I just heard the Steve said he was and I just tap them on the head a few times with the barrel of the gun.

Yeah, see kinds of really cool. Don't don't lie, it's not good for any of us. Now seeing him said that he had dibs on you, otherwise who your head to go. Jeb limps away. Yeah. Yeah, and everybody's like your head would not be everyone ready to go through the door. Yeah. Freeze Frame. Yeah, freeze. Yeah. Let's do it to be continued. Oops. Next time on Nolan's. Exactly. Jeb. Shut up. I'm sorry. I'm really getting a little loopy over here. No, no, no. Can't.

You just shoot me a fate truly worse than death? Iona. You okay. This is really pathetic. Hey Steve, you need a hand. Oh, it hurts to laugh. Hey you know who we are? Right? Yeah, I'm Sato. My word is my bond. All right. Yeah. I just chop his head off. You made her cry. Great job. You really fuck with them. You really fucked with their Steve, just get her some hey, just give her some space. Oh, my that did not help at all. I think that made things worse.
