Transcript

Welcome to no latency sidequest, our bonus podcast, for our listeners with special guests and side Adventures, that affect the main story of no latency this time, Jeb is Racing for joy and retro is tagging along. With special guest star, Miss magitek, joining us with a new character. Jeb has no idea that Eddie the trick has already laid out plans for his revenge. He may have taken it a little too far. Because this time, this race is personal. Shall We Begin?

Anyway, retro, you know, as I was saying, I really think that if we can just up the horsepower on my back who I really don't think of we've been, we're going to even gonna be using Vanna White anymore. It's a very Blasphemous thing to say, but I get what you're saying. I'm just saying, I've had this back for a while. It seems like a, like, a hardly use it. It's true. I mean, you use it like sharing the. Here's the hair, right, crash? You hear something you hear a crash?

They all say that's strange. Sergio Rossi. He's probably at his business right now. It's not like he lives at the bar anymore. Oh, no. No, he's banned all the way. Oh no. Oh, oh about 90 degrees. No, it's where they have to ask stranger. It's where they have to ask. I'm on a lot of kitten cats right now will Ken's knees. Don't do that either actually aren't kittens legs the opposite way than a humans. Rarely, I'm fairly certain that no medical attention.

So are we yelling down to you down the stairs? Yes, because I I don't think I should walk on. Hey, look. Look at look down the stairs. I'm at the bottom. I failed. Oh yep. And You look in the stands. And his leg is bent the wrong way by 90 degrees. Here, legs aren't supposed to bend that waste stranger, um, nope, there's the pain. Come on, come on. All right, I'm gonna lazily text Sawtooth.

Hey, retro, we still got that that antigrav lift sang. 16 is enough for you to get him up the stairs. Oh, God. Damn it. Oh Yeah, so we're not gonna he won't fit on that. He well, he sits down on one of the benches you flocking into. When I get boots. Jeff, did you call saw to? Yeah. Yeah. Call them a call them. You see me like, take the data pad next to me. Like, what would you be doing? If you send a quick text, you get an out of office message and so do you retro? Oh that's right.

It's date night. Fuck, we're screwed. Do we use Is that some kind of date? I have no idea. I signed an NDA. I can't say anything about anything. I know. Fair play, retro. You gotta make could you like hack into his account or something and tell them you know, find out where he is because give, you know, stop by real quick, right? It's at this moment that ping walks over to the booth and drops a whiskey on the table. Thanks Ben. Um, hey, you guys know that, like Sawtooth isn't the only

Medic in town, right? Yeah. But he's the one that we've already like work with him, you know. It's like, I'd forgotten. I know he's like a family Petty attrition. Yeah, I know. But I mean, he's not, he's not going to be the only Medical Professional you work with. That would be silly. Well, he's the only one at know. Yeah, but what happens when he's not available like now, look strangers. Leg is the wrong way. I don't know. I just feel very good.

Well, Your he's just gonna have to wait until Sawtooth comes back. I don't know what to tell him. Hold on. I mean we have ping and ping is by far the the best fixer in town since Domino's not here. Exactly. Did you want me to just roll the Rolodex? Yeah, just flip on through wherever your finger lands, I guess we'll have to go with unless, you know, a really, really, really good one. That's cheap. Then we'll do that one. I'll just flick, be more fun. Slick tick, tick, tick tick.

I don't know why. I rolled the dice there. I know why I'm doing this. Hey, I'm just surprised. You actually have a Rolodex episode. Ancient know it's holographic. But yeah, yeah, yeah, that's like from 10 years ago, update you on, come on. Yeah, but this one, this one thinks better with my tire. Anyway, let's not let's not start the top. ABB morning, not XIV. I'm gonna be the Baby blue. And across town, sitting on the top of a building, just enjoying

the view, there's a med tech. Hanging out. This is your dude is your character smoke. She does, yes. Right. Ridiculous for a medical profession. Is it is. So on top of this building is this Medtech called Vivi, and they're just having a smoke on top of a building chilling out cigarette. In one hand, coffee in the other hand. Yep. And now you get a phone call. I'm am I imagine you have some kind of hands-free kit? Yes, agent. Answer.

This is Phoebe. Hi Vivi, my name is Ping and I took over Domino's contracts a while back. I've got a guy in my bar with like his leg. The wrong way, you free to do a consultation. Oh how, how wrong are we talking here? The other way? Oh, oh yeah, okay, sure. Do you know where crystals? A joyous. Yes, I do. Good of that place. Yeah, he sent me. Got it. Thanks pink. You're welcome. And there's a ladder on the side of the building.

You can either choose to do that or you can like jump off the building a hurt yourself. It's up to you. Well, that is tempting but I will take the safe. Out head down the ladder, grab my coat. I have like a long. Well, I have my usual medical code and everything like that, but I would probably grab grab my bag and grab. I have like a long greed. Look, nice, cool. Well, you Scurry down this.

The alleys and side streets of night City looking like one of the crew from The Matrix apparently but in a cool way as you turn a corner, it be blows slightly to the side is you and a skid to a halt ever. The medical professional and watch you arrive outside crystals by Joy. And there's no one there. Hello. I like I had it. I'm like just kind of circling around. Yeah. Hello bro. Perception is 1717 more than enough? Yeah, the doors are locked.

I open it up. Hello, as you walk in the little shop Bell goes off. It closes. There's some calming music playing but no one behind the counter. But a lot of pretty gems. Like you remember, I heard there was an emergency mentors, will you gotta like be more All about leaving the door, open like that. Jeb You hear someone asking that upstairs? Hello. I don't want pain. Yes. Who is that? No, joy usually just let people into the vending machine. It yeah.

I quickly walk up and right before I get to the top of the stairs, I imagine it's a hidden door, right? Yes. What is it hidden behind a vending machine? So I like the way to him, you really do know that you've been through it more than once. Also, the bar being hidden was your idea. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So. But before I get to the top, though, like its It's closed. Its is true. Sometimes sometimes I try to buy chips and it opens the door I might, oh, it's that one.

But right before I get to the very top, you know, before I hit the button to open it up, I kind of like, like take my coat off and like, tuck in my shirt and like, but hello, welcome to Crystal's bad Joy. I'm Jay Jen. I'm I'm Jen Jen. Yeah. Great to meet you, would you like to see our specials on high? Right. I'm not sure if your joy but ping sent me. Text notes ping. Sent me pain, sent you? Yeah, I heard that there was a medical emergency so I'm here.

Oh yes. Talk about this white ball. Follow my, there's a, there's a man with his legs backwards. But that's, that's what I heard he keeps using these terms. Like you have this conversation, as you come down the spiral staircase, the vending machine door closes on its own and you are now in the bar, how tall is v v?

V v is about five foot six. So average height, Okay, well Phoebe, everyone knows how tall you are because when you get to the front of the door, next to the door, as you enter the bar, is a yardstick, like, from a convenience store. This is now Cannon by the way, because it happened in the last side quest. So there's like this, yardstick next to the door. So everyone knows how tall you are. So we all now know and we want is a judge, you harshly for their camera.

That catches like, alright? This person's 556 place is full of cameras because in a, I used to run it. So yes. Yeah. Right this way doctor, as you can see, left leg looks fine, but the right leg in my professional opinion is fucked. Yes, that is a that is a great description of it. I can probably give a more detailed diagnosis. If I just take a look at it looks are not going now. Damn it. Oh God, the pain comes in waves. Is that normal here? Let me let me just and And I

take out an air hypo. I think that could have. Yeah. I mean I'm like I should know this. I'm a med tech. I'm going to try to like kind of ease their pain a little bit here and then we'll do a more in-depth. Diagnosis is it? You doing speed Hill? Yeah, I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do like yeah. Just a quick. A quick relief. Okay. So sorry they have to roll for. Yeah, it in my notes is this per se? Yeah, you roll. First aid, 17? Yes. Very good.

You jab the hypo into his leg. Assuming this man dressed like a cowboy is you know tough. He's not, he screams like a girl. Do your work someone when you do that? I'm sorry. I'm so sorry it'll get better soon. Promise. Oh yeah. No my whole leg is numb and now I'm feeling really good. Damn. I'm Gonna Roll resist. Torture drug. He he, he looks at you and he is trying desperately to hold his head up. You know what? I rolled like a twill.

So I'm like three seconds, four and half way through the sentence. He falls over and he's probably in a much better state to be worked on fix his leg. I mean, retro come back with two glasses of whiskey and I got you another whiskey to fall asleep already. Hi kind of helped with that. A little bit. Jeb takes the extra shot. Thanks retro, appreciate that shot of Courage. So what happened to him and he I guess I should have asked him before, I kind of knocked him

out there. Jeb looks over at retro and goes. He was fighting to Grizzly buyer and the grizzly. He you should have seen the other guy. Grabs your Empty Glass, Jeff. It's not wise to lie to medical professionals. He fell down stairs. Oh yeah. Going to be honest, don't know. Exactly what made him fall down the stairs, but he does have a habitual habit of doing kitten. Catch always higher at night. Yeah, he's high on kitten, catch

right now. For sure I've heard of kitten catch I have you know you know let me just let me just look at the leg and see how bad it is and roll perception. We'll see how long Long. He needs to try to very good. Excellent. What how the fuck did you roll that controls? This car is very good. I know only a 5% year old you rolled a 9. That's why nice work. Very good anyway. He's dislocated his knee and turn to ligaments.

It's a super easy fix. He if you wanted to, you could install cybertek piece that would reinforce his leg and he wouldn't really feel the difference, repairing the to You would give him a mild limp but calls him. No other damage. I'll go ahead and install and just pause got Bunches of cyberware so you can assume he's

good. Okay. And I'll pop that a break back in as he this disgusting crunch, which you seem to do, you seem to push his leg back with effort and with no Grimace everyone else in the room, though, this crunch goes right through your spine. Sorry, I should have taken him somewhere. I am so sorry, I Just did this in front of everybody. This is, this is awkward. I'm I I'm kind of new to the medical field I should have mentioned that.

I'm like, learning a lot things but this was really, this is really good. This, he should be fine. Roll first aid, 22? Yeah. Rosa really good. You're trolling. Great. This is bad because later on we need you to roll very well. Good, excellent. Yeah, so you rolled 22 his leg snaps back into position and the Very disgusting sound but you install the cybertek pretty simply replacing the torn ligaments you find an appropriate place to throw them away.

Ping looks really disgusted. As you put it in a trash can and his knee should be right as rain in a few hours after you administer a little cream. Well done duck. Damn. And that's that. Yeah, easy So do I get paid for this? I mean oh yeah. That's a lot. Yeah. You're gonna who called you here again ping? All right. Yeah, that's a that's them out of there. I'm confused. I thought this was an internship. Yeah, I mean I do residency. I am an intern but I still get paid in some senses.

I get paid in its Experience and he was it, girl? Right. Can I write you a note or something for your internee? And I reckon the nice guys. I'll pay the bill. How much is it? How much do medical people get paid? This is a good question if I'm honest, we're going with the real world things. It depends what country are in because in America it's 40 times what everyone else charges and this is the dark future cyberpunk.

So Teatime the whole insurance. I mean, you really gotta, you gotta Bill insurance and it's a whole thing. It's Stranger Comes Back to do have no insurance fuck that. Looks like a snake. So usually trauma, team charges, well, depending on who you are, they usually charge like at least for a fix like this. Probably it's like, 1000 year old bucks. One that 1,000 for this and

he'll meet up a follow-up. He'll need a follow up and make sure that he still has like a still good and all of the everything was installed properly. So that'll probably be another like 600 Euro books for a follow-up appointment. So yeah, I think that that should be good. 1,000. Okay and I mean I suppose it was a rush job so let me see. See what I'll pay you 18:50, 1850. Normal Medtech. Couldn't show up there on them holiday or away. Thank you. He's on a date.

I also think he's on a date, but he also isn't necessarily very good with trauma. He more just sort of fixes. Yeah. What's what? I mean? See do what is his? No, I mean reinstalled vendors like I suppose so and to be fair, he also helped fix my emotional trauma. So yeah, that's true. And he's happy with the he's never gone on. Like it's never gone on like a mission with any of you like it. What if, what if Jeb couldn't

regrow? Oh, so you're from now, we're all human perception, human perception. There's 13 have TV was 10. You definitely heard ping say, what would have happened if Jeb couldn't regrow their leg, huh? Did I hear that, right? Are you okay? I'm fine, I won't talk about it. Oh, Sore subject and I'd prefer if we just keep this professional, that's fair. I am a medical professional or intern at least. So I can help, well, unless you can get this. Well, hold on. Do you have a way to somehow

extract? Some God, forbidden experimental drugs from my blood. This is a bad idea. From your extract from your blood. Whose phone is. Ringing a paint? Can you stop doing that with your mouth? Please jab. Your phone is going off. Oh, miss y'all? It's me Jim. Jeb you just opened a text message and tried to say hello to it and who wasn't Oh, look. Oh shit. What's going on? Jeb 8th, tricks got joy. Hey, no, latency listeners, a spoon.

I play Jeb here on the show and I've got a special announcement that you guys are gonna love because who doesn't love more content binary and I have been hard at work on another actual play podcast that you can listen to right now on our Bay Tree on the show is called system switch and it's called system switch because every short season will be taking the same lovable characters and thrusting them into a new world in the form of a new role playing game. Get it.

We're switching systems. So So our first season follows, a crew of Thieves who are trying to exact Revenge gain influence, get rich and not get killed by the greedy corporations Supernatural entities and insane gang members that inhabit, the haunted industrial steam, punk City that they live in. We're playing blades in the dark and we are having a blast. So go listen to the first episode on our patreon now and get ready for the show, to drop for everyone on September 8th

and it's very own feed. See you in dusk fall. Well fuck oh fuck. Oh shit, is everything. Okay, you look a little pressed. Yeah. Well stress is not usually a good thing to have, especially with whatever might have recently happened to you, just an FYI. Well you know what else? I grow higher. Blood pressure not good. Well yeah but what would you do if the love your laugh was kidnapped by some vindictive Street racer man. Oh well the love of your life. Well, I mean the lightest Sager.

Hey the trick sent me a message. See, as we have drawn Lose the race to know that. If you come after her, she dies. If you win the race, she dies. If you go to the Press, she dies. Just lose the race and she'll be returned, mostly intact. You never deserve the tab on jib staying in your lane dick. But then it's signed 80. It's not scientific but honestly, I like the other one better. I agree. I think he's a dick. Yeah, he's so petulant about the

blood raise. The only race them once and he lost and I won fair and square didn't even cheat, or nothing? Yeah, he's over One race. So this is the second time you're having to raise him, you didn't even tell me you were racing. Or actually, I think this is the third also. Apparently, I'm pinging shows you their tail. I've been invited to, like, a big race tonight with you and Eddie the trick. Oh, he's gonna die, I'm Gil. Well, what it's got, the rice puffs on here though. That's cool.

Oh, was it go bad? Huh says here you have to take the curvy roads in in the 7th division. So there's this like big drifting thing you have to do. And then you have to go through downtown, which is also all like corners. And then you have to jump over a warehouse that will explode shit. That sounds cool. Hmm. Well I think we got a few few options there retro. O.j. What if we, what if we just nip this what? Jab your your bike can't make that jump. You'll need something to that.

It's too big and ping shows you on their tail. The jump, that is that's a big one. Well, I'm gonna need. You can even upgrade or something that's. That's it. Same and all of you. Look at it and it looks like it's going to be fucking cool but it's like who's that? Who's that Daredevil Evel? Knievel meal. Looks like an Evel. Knievel jumped to. This is really dangerous. Yeah, I think I'm gonna need some Grab Jets on this bad boy? Yeah, I don't even think old

man. Pastrana could make that old man to man. He's been going at it for some time. Now you're not actually thinking of doing this. That does not look like any. I mean maybe if you if you get some sort of upgrades but this is really dangerous. Now, I'm just annoyed. Well, I've got I got killed and I think I know exactly the way to do it. Kill Him, Yoko, Ono, Eddie's gun. I play in Fair, nor nice this time. He lost fair, and square. Last time, I didn't cheat no more.

Nothing this time. I'm going to sit. A few booby traps on the along the way. Do you mean you're going to get retro to set a bunch of booby traps on the way? Well, I'm gonna help thing. Okay, yeah. Hey, you know how normally you guys have like Mendel and I owner and Sano. Yeah, where are they? They're not here. I'm saying that. If you do go and do this, you're probably going to get hurt. Hey Vivi, do you work on retainer? Yes. If it can go part of my hours for trauma teen internship.

Well, I'm one of the one of the top fixes and all of night City, I can sign up at work. Don't worry about it, I'll get it done. Okay, I'll tell you what, if you do this job? I'll make sure that half of your hours are enough. All right, sign me up. Sign me up. This is gonna be good for my entire semester. I will be that's a year of your certification that I can. Just, this is, I'm so happy that you called me. This is the best day ever.

I ignore the exact right now. You want, the bottom is get less than I am. I assumed that meant you were the cheapest and you work. Thank you. I appreciate it. That's totally fine. I'm I at this point, I'll take any experience. So I'm happy to help great. Great Joys and troubles. So let's get out of here. So are you going Jeff? We gotta go visit to be V as expected. You came in through this door you assume that's the way you go out. You head towards the door.

Everyone else I'm by everyone else. I mean Jeb and retro head to the other side of the bar where Jeb hits a button and this door opens and there's a VW bus just in an elevator, huh? Yeah, but it's that cool. You know, like like, oh, it's super cool. It's like a secret. It's Batcave style, it's pretty cool. Yes, the bars really cool. Yeah, so sustained and normally normally the GM says, and you walk into the coolest bar you've ever seen as he walked in.

But the but we're off hours right now, but it really is the coolest thing I've ever seen. We're big on tail. Don't show. I have to apologize for being an audio experience. I have to apologize. Normally Vanna White is much cooler because I have it on a lazy. Susan going at like 24 hours a day, but the Lazy Susan mechanism broke and fortunately. So we got Parts on or Order. Yeah, he's still working on the underglow difficult. Can't find Ray on anywhere around here. Wow.

Is this what? It's like to like afford things and like, have cool stuff. Do you guys have anything else that's like really cool or like, I mean, do you own this bar? Nobody gonna stop. Oh, okay. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Also and ping pushes a button on the on the bar and five turrets come down from the ceiling can do that. Wow, I am very it. So I can do that and appreciate again and the music changes and everything turns into disco lights. That's cool too.

Okay. This place is pretty cool. Yeah, I'm have to come back here. Mean it's yeah, it's like 4 out of 5 Stars. Ping is yet to implement my idea of having a karaoke night. It's Rocky tell him thing that, you know, if it's not their fault that it's it's a four-star establishment. The biggest problem is that it's a completely underground. Both metaphorically and physically, so you can't really tell them nobody about. Yeah. And we have more places downstairs.

It's invite-only so, Is it meant to be like super secret in vital? Yeah. Yeah, it's invite only one. We're kind of hunt. Oh yeah. Alright. Arisaka. Very much wants us all dead? Yeah. Oh, it's business. So, but I mean, who lives in night City and doesn't have a corporation that wants to kill them. Yeah, yeah, cool. Well anyway, Welcome to the Club, come on now. Thanks, Membership card. Oh, that's right. And ping pulls out a card and hands. You a little card.

And all it has is that it is the no latency logo on it, does this get me access to this? Yeah, you can be put on the vending machine and it'll open for you. Hell yeah. Yeah, it does not. It does not actually van. That one is completely. It's just a front, just a front, so it's and if you ever need somewhere to hide out, we have really cheap rates for rooms and stuff. So yeah.

But if you ever need like a fever needing arisaka, fresh lemonade, you're going to want to dispense that one from the one on the left because, you know, the one on the right is just wanted middle is not really. Anyway, and if that letter sounds like, I should close the shop upstairs, shouldn't I? I'll go and do that. You hopefully, save Joy. If you do it, I'll give you some money. Well, look, I ain't doing it for the money. I'm doing it for the girl, okay,

cuz I was lying. See you later duck. I'll come back, I'll draft. Hey you will hop into Vanna White and you watch, can go upstairs to close crystals by joy. And while you're in Vanna, White starting her Yup. The floor underneath Vanna, White Ice ends up words and an elevated takes you up to street level opening, a secret hatch in the alleyway and Jeb, dries it out into the streets of night City. You can decide if you think that's cool.

I'll tell you. It's extremely cool roller driving check 23. Yeah, as you get two Tunas, the garage Aged or is coming down but you rolled so high. You managed to Skid the vehicle into the hangar and khlo and it closes in front of you in a really cool way. But you're perfectly parallel with the door. I mean there's no need to show off. You could have broken my fucking garage door. Yeah, let's do it. We're in a bit of a emergency

situation here. Oh yeah, you've got a big race and I'll go invite you to check it out. Why else get invites? And I didn't. and Jeb, you can see the metaphorical light bulb illuminate above, Jim's head and you just goes And have I got a opportunity for you tuna. Oh yeah. Vanna White. Right tuna livery. What do you say? Well, I turned around with the Livery. Or what's the Livery? It's the painting on the side of the car. Oh, right, right? No, no. Jeb. After I fixed the flying vehicle.

You give me an endorsement and I'm going to get lighter business. I know, but if you can put a ton of the don't want on the crew, I want it. You you're the one who won the blood race. You're the one with the highest reputation. You're the one I want on camera saying that you get, Your Parts here and I know that's the deal. I mean I was I was ready to give you the other full sponsorship. But you know what? I don't know if I know white, your vehicle's to nice and

already there's an anyway. There's already out for it. So let's not get too far. All right. Well this juicy the job that I was supposed to Mike. Oh yeah, mate. How are you gonna do that? You're gonna need like some really complicated math processing and some junk Jets. Yeah, and it's a shame, it's a shame because I sold my last auto drive to Eddie like You are, but if I'd known that you were in the rice, I would have saved it for you because you're a mate are so many have any

money. Well yeah. He had like five or six thousand Eddie's. Well, enemy, those things are expensive. I get like one every six months. Yeah. All right. Yeah. The after spending course, look, there's eight. There's only going to because there's so many of these things, right? Is this one is one that you as well as you plug an AI into it. Hold on, hold on. It's got an update. You know what that means to?

I just got mad idea. We instead of putting the booby traps along the way of the race, we just sabotage Tunas car. So that the jump from the scope, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, he's got a spoon, you did a spoonerism. I said, I don't know about that. We're going to sabotage 80s car. And then we're supposed to lose right side while say I keep

saying wait but it's me right? I was supposed to lose, right, but what I do is week, I cannot pretend to pop my tire or something and stand up and you know not be able to finish the race right before the judge or do you have to lose? Oh shit, should I bet against, you know, because list. Okay, here's what's gonna happen. You see, we're going to we're going to you to know so you're going to help me I'm to do easy. These two, these two of the

rudest Eva is nice to meet you. I'm not I'm one of nine cities, best mechanics. If you have something with wheels, I can fix it. Wow, I'm meeting so many. Cool people. Nice to meet you. I'm a medical professional sort of. Oh, brilliant, awesome. I'll be sure to annoy you with some mundane medical issue that I have that you have no idea of fixing her, I'll call you with that in a minute anyway. Sorry. Jeb, you say yeah. All right. I'm behind Eddie, right?

Because I'm supposed to be losing. I'll let him in front, we sabotage, his jump Jets, so that, when he goes and tries to do the big jump, right? He don't like it. Yeah, but you should make it in that case. Well meanwhile I gotta finish the race if he's dead because if you fail if you if you fail race in front of all of my see you can loosen reputation. That's what as good point. Let's go. Yes. And what if this all doesn't go to your plan like plans, somehow always like, go wrong.

It's like, you need like a plan b or like, C D. I do understand. But call me dumb. Well, I thought you were just gonna, like, steal the auto drive off Eddie. And I'll work on some jump, Jets all yeah, but here's the thing tuna just between you and me is that I want that motherfucker, dead. Yeah, well, if he doesn't have an auto drive, that means he has to do the math on the Fly. How how good do you think, Eddie's at all? You have to trust that dumb

terminal. Like an SI. Yeah, we all know the SS couldn't make it. You gotta get the SL version or lighter. No, no. Sentient intelligences. Low-level a is I can do some math rat, right? You are you are talking about the the latest whatever you were doing right now to talk. Yeah, no, all right. Well anyway, so this this this guy, this person Eddie they, they threatened somebody you care about clearly. So what if they already have like something in place to kill

this person? And then if you do suck like they're, you know, they probably look a thinking ahead, they know that you are probably going to plan something and retaliation. So, we have to think, we have to think one step ahead of them. You're right. I don't know how I thought that far. I don't know anything from there, that's good. Oh carry on. Well, I mean, we do have V here and BBs shown that they are very capable and handling medical experience.

And, you know, I know that you have possibly taken an oath Medical Oath, and I would say that the question between one life for another say, what it'd be like, would you be Possible to kill Eddie. Is that work underneath? That, that is a good. That is a good point. What if you just crossed while you do it? And and if I saw a person in danger and dying, I would have, I would feel obligated to help them.

So, if you're going to take this to a person, you better make sure that you do it, because if they are near death, I might have to help them. So like if I was to say, rig something up that, you know, with your help for something that would be naughty to do, say, put an air bubble inside of their blood veins. So that it goes to their brain and gives them, you know, a demon to the brain because they the blood who pop I see I see where we getting here, you know?

It could be possible. but I don't know how still, we still have to find this person and and take care of it and you want to know what you want to use address. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, I've got I did have it was on that. Where the fuck did I put it? You guys all know? It was. Was it only we know it was on the delivery slip for the vending machine didn't pick up. Do you still have that? The vending machine. No, not your me. I know you got that.

No, no. Remember when they tried to deliver that vending machine to Eddie? You're asked me if I had kept the receipts, I'll got the receipts. I don't do good bookkeeping. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was on their return slip. Williams in he lives in West night City. West not see those got like a bungalow thing. All right, that's enough to get me there. Oh yeah, as well as the address that I'm assuming retro is looking at on their tile right now. Oh yeah, there we go. Plug Valium.

Oh yeah. I could just get it in the GPS real quick just a tuna before we leave, you're telling me, you ain't got nothing that can get me over that. Jump. Oh no, I've got jump Jets, but I don't have the mood. I don't have any auto drive to like do the math so that you don't fuck up the jump. So if you can get an auto drive I can install it. I don't have any S. I slept. So if you've got any looks around, kind of sheepishly. If you've got an A or around to do the math, how shit retro.

Yeah, I could only think of one. Yep. God damn it. We're gonna need to get the auto drive first before. We can even think about putting nine into anything. So unless you know, where to get one, it sounds like we're going to have to go and Rob Eddie for it. Alright. The others dress. Yeah. I have it on this slip of paper that we got back when we went to go get the vending machine. You can't If the receipt, I always keep my receipts in my face will flash all the

receipts. Damn, including us see from when you owed me money? Yeah. See there's when I sold you the king. Oh, you can't that one always taxes are not City. That's, that's why he's in, that's why he's in charge of the accounts. All right. Yeah, I'll just plug in a GPS and retro will feed the receipt in, through his brain and his face will come to GPS. By the way, maybe I have a TV forehead. Yes, I did. Notice that. I'm sorry if I've been staring, okay.

He's got TV. Forehead might be used to people staring in it your time. All right? Tony. You just make sure those jumpjets already for us. Yeah, yeah. I'll start shooting for your bike. You bring it over later and I'll install is like, for Ratchet points. All right, and you actually see tuner, like pull one out, I just, I just need to know how that was installed and you just CVV. Like, I was relieving just like asking you questions like so, do

you still like how? And last I guess it's still like the brains function and she'll just be asking a bunch of questions. Questions. Good. The brain function. Is there a? How does that work?

Well, the brain functions. Similarly, in the same way that You could inside of electrical impulses from a protein-based, drink that comes in from food that I've ingested reconnected to cybertechs spine, that's been reinforced which sends the same electrical signals all the way down and then using several hard drive systems and Raspberry Pi x 7s used to compete those. Let's all right used to compute those signals. Into my brain to have what I want to have happen.

So essentially it allows me to go ahead and go ahead project, my imagination on my face of what I would like to have doc goes Ashley asked him if he drinks it's crazy. Do you dream? Yes, I do. But when you but typically when anybody ever watches me sleep you can only see Electric Sheep. Thank you. I was In for that yeah it's real soon. I'll tell you how long you got inspiration for that and we're here well the driving check, can I make a music track?

Sure. Deduction U of M's unfortunately managed to turn on the hand-washing song again, shit. They play it everywhere now. God, I hate that it's fire. Alright, Rive outside of Eddie's place in West at city, so just so we're clear. Are we stealing something or killing him? Yeah, I just thought of something, you know, we could nip this whole thing right in the book. How, and just murdering right here, right? All right. Yes. Yeah, that could in theory could be an option. That's true.

Now I do wonder. Where the hell is Joy? Also, I wonder if he won't kill Joy, if he finds out that we're the ones that stole his race necessary equipment. Well, to be fair if Joy Is here and we're able to save Joy. Then we don't have to worry about that too. If he is here and we kill mmm. That's good too. However I would also say it's going to look bad on your reputation still, when you go to a race and they don't show up, I mean, still looks bad for them but they're dead.

So old contraire, my TV headed friend because if we kill any trick right here, right now, we can get his jump boost Ders and we can get all the other necessary equipment. And when we get that equipment, Tunas got the jump Jets going as far as rights. That we're getting the late auto-drive. That's right. Remember that remember that all day, every time those were talking about this, I'm going to do a quick scan of the perimeter. Ocular pat-down.

See if there's anything around. Roll perception, 15. You notice that there are two entrances on the front and one of them is a large garage door, seal contraire barttv headed Fran, because if we kill any trick right here and we save Joy, well with his Auto Drive installed, you know goddamn well I'm still going to make it that jump it'll just be more of a spectator sport. This Eddie do they have any other clearly? You don't seem to be AI would

say enemies. Do they have any other enemies or people that we know of that might also want them dead, well, StreetWise or local expert, actually Rollo collector. So 17, yes, you know, that he lost the blood race last year to someone, although you don't know who, you know, that he lost another race recently to someone else. And you're fairly certain, it was the same person and that's their major enemy, the word on the street. However, the word is also that the bad boys have joined Eddie

to help him regain his throat. I mean, if we need to make a patsy, there's only one group, I can think of that people would believe to be this Dastardly and cowardly and do share the Steve's. Yes. We killed mom so sorry for ruining everyone. Doesn't know about that yet. Right? Oh yeah. I suppose although they have stopped doing stuff. Recently we find is we go in. Smash bunch of stuff. Spray paint. Steve everywhere. They think it's a Steeps. That's their MO are at a lot that don't mind.

That won't be it. So we go in, we go in all sleek and dukie like, clandestine, we take a few shots, kill a few Eddie's. And by that, I mean we murder the hell out of the out of 80. Save Joy, spray-paint Steve everywhere. Break a few very few TVs break a few Windows whatnot, get out. Still up. Still show up for the race still make that jump like the player. All right, so are you 100% sure you want to do this? I just have to ask one more time before we do this, are you sure?

I mean, II. Don't know this Eddie but they're holding somebody else hostage and I do not agree with that. But this is a big thing. Doc you ever been in love? I just fall in love with this patient once and what is completely uncertain. I shouldn't admit that. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. It's unprofessional. I shouldn't admit that. No, yes, I have let's just say aye.

I have it didn't end well and what would you do to the person that kidnapped that person that you loved I would kill them. Next time on no latency side quest. Here's the plan, we're going to an and then on my signal lineups that we take out three people immediately because I don't know about y'all. But uh, I ain't got no silencers or nothing. Well, I guess I like white as Weapons will have to be these electric brass knuckles then so we don't go in guns a-blazing. We just go in swinging.

That's a Swingin here's the thing. Jeff has this race. Can't even invite me to it. What a dick. Mister mister Jab. Mr. Jab it's a time is a plan B time. All those planes gone to shit. Hey there buddy. You okay feel right. Yeah. You're gonna need a cyber and plant for that year and there's no way you're gonna get a finger back. Not many people do your half computer, will you go ahead Jeff. I'm just smashing shit around here. Spray painting stuff, man.

Is everyone better at keeping their receipts, the money. It's a good. It's a good habit to get into. I would recommend it. Thank you for joining us on our adventure once again here at no latency.
