Lester are no. Latency set Quest. I heard that there was a medical emergency so I'm here. King st. You yeah. Oh, yes doc. Oh right, this white ball. There's a man with his legs backwards. Hey, I got you another whiskey to I'm gonna fall asleep. Already, what happened to him and he I guess I should have asked him before. I kind of knocked him out there. He fell down the stairs whose phone is ringing. Oh shit. What's going on? Jeff any tricks got shoulder, just lose the rice.

She'll be returned. Why did everyone else get? It's and I didn't mostly intact. This is really dangerous. Grab Jets on this bad boy, hello. I'm to do. Hi, I'm Viviana. Had tuna. You just make sure those jumpjets already for us, we stealing something or killing if he is here, and we kill him. And what would you do to the person that kidnapped that person that you loved, I would kill them. Bye baby girl go take a look.

See what's around slow and jumps off the top of Vanna White and flies up into the air and does a swoop around the building roll. I'm assuming animal handling 22, BV at without even. Yes, not was a link of the of the notes that was just chilling on top of the van, just right. Hanging out and so when you get to the location, Jeb starts talking to the top of Vanna White and you're not really sure what's happening.

And then a vulture with biotech ill into it flies up and start scanning around and and squawking at at Jeb and he continues. Well, yeah. Good girl. Good girl. What do you see Rob perception? You get. That's a 22. You get your plus 4 to this role 16. So if nice. Nice unnatural 20, well done. So What Sloane discovers is because they've got a bit more Tech going on their eyes than

just regular light. They discovered that the garage door is warm, which means it was used recently, there is a back door to the garage, but not the main building and there are heat signatures for at least two people in the building, yet, that shakes out. All right, here's the plan. We're going in and then On my signal, we're good 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.

I don't either. Yeah, so it's gonna be layout. Okay, let me check my back real quick. I'm gonna go ahead and open up my text Reno backpack. Well, that's shotgun. Pull out the salt rifle, pull out, electric brass knuckles, pull out junk now. There's put it all back into the backpack. Well, I do got a combat shovel. I have a bat and I've got this big nice. It's beat. It's it's a, it's an app created by the company, B, EG hmm.

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 swimming. Okay. All right. All right, I've never done this before, so I hope it goes. Well, I'll stay close. Look, I don't mean to brag or nothing, but if there are two things I'm good at, it's driving and being sneaky. So follow me. Okay? I rode stealth, I guess you didn't ask me to but I did it. Anyway, you rolled 23 on

stealth. So you what are you trying to do with your stealth get in through a window? Like, you know? Because that And then like building has no windows what? It has three doors. It has a garage door which you know is opened recently as a front door and a back door to the garage and that's it. Well, the back door to the garage. Yeah. Okay cool. You sneak around to the back door with your 23 that is effortless and Sloan gives you a confirmation.

There's no one behind the building and you walk up to the back door of the garage. I follow accessories I'm actually going to stay by the front door. All right. So you're by the front door now would edit the trick. Recognize you retro. I mean, nah, maybe, I mean, I did get one of his girls numbers at one point. I'll just wondering if maybe you can't draw their attention towards the front door, you know, maybe you're a traveling salesman or maybe you're just

here to each the good work. Okay, I got an idea, I'll go to the front door knock, and when I hear the knock, I tried the door, try to like, you know, put my shoulder into the door a little bit. It's locked deep shit. I'm going to try to pick it, okay? Do you want to know the DV8? Yeah, I do. Because I just rolled it. Okay, it's 19. Okay. What is, what back to the garage is tough one. Open lock? Oh picklock. Yeah, you try and unlock the lock and your lock. Pick breaks shit.

I try to, I put my ear to the door to see if I can. Actually, I mean, like I imagine that we're all cool patched in, right? Like, we can now you've Oh, you got caught. You guys talk to it. You talk to you again. You talk to your friends all the time. Yeah, that happens a lot. So I'm gonna wait and see what happens to the front door before probably breaking down the store. All right. Sure. So, retro the intercom next to the door turns on Hey, this is

Eddie the tricks place, right? It's me. Remy Ramirez. I'm sure the river isn't good for anyone. you hear footsteps and roll perception, I turned to the dock Doc you got any ideas how to get through this door? You got some like I don't know, cheat blade or something. No, I have. I have handcuffs we don't think for us. Yeah. Kuba useful. Light could be useful are keep keep those, you know, keep those handy cute. Do you want to, like, have a look around the back of the building?

Yeah, I'll take a look while. All right. Well, Jeff is occupied the toilet roll perception. 22, definitely enough cheese, definitely enough. As you're looking around, even though you're 56 you have the perfect angle to see the very edge of a key sitting on top of the door sill. Oh, oh, I think I spotted something and I go reach up and grab that key. See if this works. What the hell did you all right? And you managed to unlock the door. Meanwhile, at the front of the Or two dudes.

Two dudes standing in front of retro. Open the door. What? Retro one of them grabbed his shotgun from behind him and like loads it in an intimidating. Way. What do you want? Mother fucker. I came with a business proposition. All their fuckers. Oh, did you? Yeah, I did now. Where's Eddie the trick? And he's not here, he went to go get ready for the rice, one of the boys. Is working on something from in the garage. It does not not really any of your fucking business. What did you want?

What here's the thing that group I was in the bunch of lame, sons of bitches, you're going to argue with you where Not paying me enough. Just constantly kept getting on my nerves. Oh yeah! Breaking my shit, Ron Santo being an angry little motherfucker boy. He's very tall. But yes, and Iona Frozen Heart, cool pose. You know it, so here's the check, creaks, open the door.

I came to get some work and since I have inside knowledge on how they work, I thought I'd sell my that sell to the highest bidder. Now, you would think I'd be arisaka but, you know, arisaka don't have no water and I know that Eddie's got honor So that's why I came here and he's thing. You recruit me and Jeb sees me on the opposite side, line for this race. Oh, that's going to throw them

off real bad. I mean, I guess, all right, then first thing bro, persuasion, because that's enough bullshit, I think. Jeb has a straight and even invite me to it. What a dick. Fuck that's fucked up. Yeah, it's almost like the person who organized all the invites just didn't want to invite you with that. No fucking way. So I rolled a 12 and you roll the 13. Wow. So he believes you, unbelievable. No way. I did not expect that. This is where I thought gun have

Gunplay was about that. Sure. Why not? Welcome to the bad, boys come in and he brings you in his, he turns around, he's got be be on his back, big letters and he walks you into the building. Go go and as you walk in right so they're now they've turned away from you they now trust you you've persuaded them. Yeah you walk into the apartment while that's happening. Jeb you crack open the door roll perception 16 yeah good enough. It was a DVD 14 in the garage as you crack the door open, do you

notice on your left? That there's a guy working on a piece of motorbike equipment inside the garage and inside the garage in front of you are six lockers on the right wall and right at the very end is the garage. J'adore that's loans saw from the sky I early. Okay? Okay, okay, okay. I turned to the doc, I, you know, Khloe like close the door again. Keep making sure that it stays

unlocked. Doc, you got nothing to you got any anesthesia, I have another are hypo, which sometimes can put people into a state of sleep. Yes, yes. It's like a Twilight, they say, Twilight dream. Come on. Yes. Yes, I so wait, is there just like one person and it's just one in there. Now, I've got an idea. I just see this one as a backup player, okay? Okay. Alright, so if it goes wrong then I'll just stop them but

stem, yes, exactly. Okay, okay, all right I want to sneak in right and tap them on the shoulder, okay. Roll stealth. Now retro, you know because you can hear this through the comms you know, that if You remember the layout of the building correctly that you're now making it so that as they walked towards the garage they're going to see Jeb walk through here, right? And if you don't distract these two people, Jeb has 20 or 21 or

above. If you do manage to distract these people, that gets a lot easier for him. What are you going to do? As soon as retro enters inside is going to pour one of his pre-rolled blocks out of his jacket. Go ahead. He's a light, it up start puffing inside. Oh, shit. What's your you hold me? Of course, I'm always holding hand. Gotta work rope. Well, persuasion. You've getting these two fucking rocker boys to turn around because you've got a fucking joint. Can I roll? Okay, never mind.

Actually, it won't work. So you rolled a 10 on perception and one of the guys takes a Sniff and go Oh mate. I don't do Indica Portland. Hold on. I feel that they would roll a resist torture drugs on this, okay? Sure if they roll, if they roll above a 10, it does not affect them fair enough. So I'm going to that's fair. I've I love the. I love the roll. Now I just have to find resist torture drugs. Oh Jeff. Where's resist torture drugs? You use that all the time.

Yeah yeah it's up at the top left under body. D skills. Right next to stealth. There it is. Thank you. So they both rolled above your persuasion, which means they continue? Yeah, no, I don't do anything mate. However, this is just enough time as they turn around because Jeb rolled a 23 on their stealth very well done. Just enough in that little moment. You've just the perfect timing has happened. And Jeb, you managed to sneak into the room and sneak behind this guy, and tap him on the

shoulder. Hi there. And I'm keeping it low. Keep at it, keep it quiet. How'd you like to like 2,500 right here, right now. Sorry, what the fuck are you? Oh, wait, no Intruders, fuck about 2500. I have 100 Grand right here, right now. Face down. You don't like 2,500 how much you make I'm just got paying you know that's still. I don't know who the fuck you are and like I thought I was alone in here so either a facedown on persuasion check but you're not going to get away

with that shit. I actually check bribery maybe a bribery is good. Ooh bribery actually yeah it's a primary role Prive me motherfucker. Now sockets on that ski over is the first one under social skills. I'm gonna go with persuasion on this one, okay because your bravery is shit. Isn't it? It's actually not bad. But my persuasion. I put I put points into points of those horse and 17. All right. Yes. You do excellently. Yeah, 2,500. Yeah. How much are they paying? You nothing much.

I but I mean it's 2,500 over a week you mean like right now I'm in like right here right now. No shit. Okay? Yeah sure. Okay you convinced me roll out of me. No, I'm assuming you're putting the You're here. Installing them jump Jets. No, no, I'm fixing the auto drive. Freaks me out dress. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I've got, I've gotta make it work for is, like, how much see know about Auto drafts? Well, who know enough to?

Oh, I don't know if I were to, if you were to give me that of drive and you would install something else, that would not work. No, no, you'd kill me. I'd have to leave but 2500 is more than he's only paying me like that over a week. Yes, I might not even get that hears us like know if he's gonna kill you, I gotta now, I've got a little something for you because it's more money and okay. And the satisfaction of knowing that your bitch ass employers going to be day at suit that's

harsh. But okay. Well, he ain't gonna kill you no more. No, yeah. So here's what you're going to do for me, you're going to take this money. You're gonna take 3,000 cred. Oh damn. That's right. That's right. You're going to install a bunk auto drive into this here car. You're going to give me the good one and you know what? For your silence? I think you deserve 3,500, how's that okay. Sure. I'm not just a doesn't have a car. He's got a bike. But yeah, automobile motorbike.

Yep. You're going to tell me. I'll draft that auto-draft. Yeah, yes I have got pulled from a poker machine. It's really shit. Good good. Now you wouldn't know how to make sure that that now if this auto drive the you're going to install the bunk. Well this ain't gonna get I got have one. You'd have to give me one. I've only got one order drive this one right here. Look, it's pretty. I get you a bucket of crap, okay. Can you get it to me in like two hours? Because that's when the rice.

This is when's he gonna be back? Well, he's waiting on the race women to like fix the order, Dr. Parra, you don't, I think someone else is doing something about some kind of thick and I go and have some Joy. I don't fully understand the plan. I just fixed the think. What do you say? We're gonna go and have some Joy. Do some Joy? Yeah, we're kind of a small area drug or something. Shut the fuck up where that's not need to be made.

And I pushed him up against the, like, the workbench or whatever, where you said, you know, you can't treat me like this. This is good. Mister mister jab, it's a time. Is a plan B time. Everyone, you've made too much noise roll for initiative. Actually, if you don't make too much noise, can I do one thing that I actually did want to do something with me before you turn when they had done that, I wanted to flick my blunt right into the eye of one of the guys.

Oh, that's great. I imagine, it's one of these with, like, there's sound behind him and they like Turned, like, what's that? And then they turn back and look at you, and you just flick the the Embers, yet their eyeballs pulling a Star Wars on them, Star Wars and 3D. I'll roll for it right now. Good. You want to buy some death sticks? I want to go home and rethink my life, 18 on education, for fucking a joints. Here's the thing I am about to pull my weight. I can explain.

I was able to use my Computing skills inside of my brain case, to help measure out the exact amount of pressure I needed to flick and Using, you know, geometry with Pythagorean theorem to smack him directly into the eye. That's why education is very important people and math is needed at all times, okay? All right, fine fine. That's fine. He gets -12 his initiative. That's what you get. Fine, I'll take it but I'm not gonna like it. Hey, no, latency listeners, it's

spoon. I play Jeb here on the show and I've got a special announcement that you guys are going to love because who doesn't love free stuff, binary and I have been hard at work on another actual play podcast that you can listen to right now on your favorite podcast app. 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. 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 type in system, switch in your favorite podcast app and tune in.

See you in dusk fall. I think take one of my stims cool, the same one that I used on our patient in the beginning. And I'm just going to try to stab this. This person in front of me. Cool. Well, he's facing Jeb. So you get a little bit of a benefit to doing this since this is technically a melee attack, you have to beat his evasion, okay?

But I'm gonna give you plus two because of the distraction and that it also is, and it would normally be plus 1, but it's quite creative way of hurting someone so. Okay. No charges, you beautifully? It is a melee attack, so you get a second he all wait, no, it's 14 plus 2 1560 or by 10, so you missed was your first attack. Every melee attack is too, is too strict. Yeah yes. So you get another try. Not good. Oh, that's not good. I don't know. Like a very like panicked.

You so nervous. Yeah, I like it's going and it totally fails, totally fails. And you try again. And you don't fail fails, not quit fail. You don't actually hit someone else, but you do Miss twice with your hypo saving it for another time. And you now have enough time in your bonus action to do one other thing? Sorry, Jeb. It's not gonna work and then I'm going to I'm just like, I'm just gonna get my weapon. I'm gonna get the baseball. The face, fucking you get it. I don't Care as fun.

Let's hope he fails this. That's what the fuck. Wow, what are you get? Plus 2 because he's distracted. So it's not that. You don't. That's, that's taking the piss, isn't it? It's closed. That's fair. Yeah, well I try you have inadvertently helped jab out because now the attention has now drawn onto you nice. You've done a great job of distracting. This mechanic guy from The Bad Boys and he's like Well and he judges all three of your hits and tries to attack you on his

next turn. But before that happens, Jeb gets the do something. You also get plus 2 because now they are distracted. What was planes? Garnish it and I pull the trigger. Are you just going to shoot him just lying? Just blasting them. 27. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it Cheese's. So he takes a big hit. He takes eight. Damage hit blades his armor, but it doesn't actually hurt him because that's his armor is a lot higher than that. Dang, 21 hits again with your other gun doing 12 damage and he

won six in there. Oh, you gotta win the first one doing 12 damage. You hit him this time, the bullet goes through and you actually see blood bleed into his Jack. Roll, resist torture drug. But you rolled a crit 21. So you have no desire to drink this. Human's blood. But I slurping up. Anyway, now, I'm getting Futures. You have a bonus action, do you want to do something else? Throw me that hap. Oh, sure. Doc, yeah, yeah, here you go. And I toss it and I sure do it, 18, nice.

You're all 17 on invasion. You hit him Square in the neck. I got Falls over mid-sentence. Where? Oh, no, fast active, they're amazing. But some fast Actin Tinactin. Yeah, yeah. If you ever need to like fall asleep or something, you just, I shouldn't I should recommend that. I'm sorry, the guy in the garage has now become unconscious, nice. However, one of the guys standing in front of retro after hearing all of this noise motherfucker, what a double-cross, he already had a

shotgun out. So he turns around to shoots at retro with their shouts gun. I cannot believe this, but he rolls and eight, not enough and bullet pieces. You hear that? It blasts pasts your head and bits of shrapnel hit into the wall and dust settles down. But you in a very cool way, don't move and one of the eyebrows on your screen makes a little rise there like an outline of retro. Now on the right, Oni Oni on your right side, there's just like a hole next to where your

brain cases. Okay, Pulp Fiction style. Should I gun is a rate of fire of to so he goes before Kirk Cox it again and tries to shoot you once more rolling 13 which is it is just enough for the distance and he causes some damage. 13 damage a blitz, my armor by one. Yep so I take three dollars and he moves slightly around the corner of a closet to avoid you, taking his full move. So he is kind of out of you. You'd have to move forward to get into view.

But the other guys still there, question, hit me, is he the one that I do the blood No, it's the other guy. That's why you didn't move. Okay but it is also your turn okay? Then I would like to reach into my Tetra Tino backpack, pull out Ash. Okay using my bonus action. I would like to Mule Kick the first guy, the guy that I partially blinded, okay? Into the doorway, sounds good. What do you want brawling for that? Sure. That sounds right 23. Yes, should be enough.

Yes, that's it. Enough. He wrote 15 on evasion. You kick him in the chest. He falls over backwards. He is now a much easier Target, see, him peeking around there. You know, in my shotgun your those Ash 18? Yes. You hitting the guy who shot you. Yes. Okay. That hits World damage 18 dude. Okay, man, cool ones on that, but still That's a lot of hits. It's not below half Health level

but still a lot. Yeah. So he takes a decent hits to his armor and he actually staggers back a little bit and then I'll cock the second hammer and a mash at him again and go bad boy. Bad boy, what you gonna do? What you gonna do when I shoot you? Now that's a crit. 30 fly. Wow. You get extra D6 damage roll, baby. 34 it's definitely worth of B6 roller six a day. Damn it. All right, 22 damage.

It pulls in below half Health Rami to d69 as you shoot him in the shoulder Vivi, you hear the very distinctive noise of ligaments tearing in this human and you know, instantly that this guy has torn a ligament into, you hear it, snap like a rubberband and it's like nails on a chalkboard but also part of these. Really happy because you're like, I recognized it is exactly what review, how she would react. So he this guy takes a knee and his right arm just goes a little bit more limp.

Oh, and he now has minus 2 to melee attacks. According to this cool chart that I have. Unfortunately, you kicked him over so he takes a second to get back up which takes up a decent amount of time. He has no bonus action. Now he gets back up and tries to shoot you missing even In though, you're basically point-blank bowling, only attend. This is not, this is not part of the plan, he cocks his gun

again, and shoot you again. Unfortunately, the gun jams misfires, and it shoots him instead, as he rolls a Crip fail 3, taking 21 damage to the face. Oh my God. Wow. So he's gun backfires, get ready. That's everyone, I'd like you to hover your mouse over the damage. Please a crit, on himself. All right, I'm Gonna Roll to D6,

that's hilarious. Deus. Ex explode know when you roll to d6s, even if they don't go below half Health. If it's an explosive, we've done a thing where there's more damage. But when it's a regular bullet like this, the rules say that you just roll on the critical injury table. Shoot. Six and five. That's never a good one. Oh, this is brilliant. Crushed fingers because he's the same one that I flipped the blind bat. Yes.

So maybe. When I flick The Blood Out him, when it when it left, it hit him in the face and it rolled into the barrel of the shotgun. Oh, nice. And that causes a misfire because there's an ember in the gun. I love that. Yeah, so you can kind of smell as the dust is settling. There's like a smell of gunpowder and indica in the air and There's definitely an effect from your join earlier as the explosion blew off and it says crushed fingers, but it blows

off. One of his, his blows up his middle finger, and he's looking at his hand. Oh, that is not good. We really need medical attention. That is not going to be no, don't think about a dock like about it. He just looks very guilty for a moment. Aunt, but doesn't say anything in the game. Hey Miguel. Yes, yes, yes. I'm here. I have a job. A real job. I'm going to do it work for you guys that guy now has minus 42 all actions, because he rolled an 11 on this chart. That is mean as fuck.

All right, the garage guy is unconscious because you knocked him out. And that means Phoebe. It's your turn again. So I'm I'm gonna try to finish this guy off who's just as like, he's very distracted. Yeah. Plus one day hit because he's staring at his hand. Yeah, I'm gonna finger on the ground. I'm a nice swing of anesthesia. Yeah, yeah. I feel like that, that is not going to be easy to repair. I'm sorry. And I I go and I tried to hit him man. I'm not Yeah but he gets a minus 1.

You get plus one. Okay so your that's a 12 and he gets a minus 4 to this which he rolls a 13 on Invasion but minus 4 that is obviously 9 and you just you it's the most satisfying across the back of his head and he goes, stiff and falls over. And you've completely knocked him out and I just like, step over another retro. Are you okay? Is everything? Okay in here? Here you see you, you technically have another shot if you wanted to shoot the guy across him. Huh?

Yeah, let's do it. I look over and I see until you're doing roleplay shit though. I love that. I see over retro shoulder. I'm like, I got you. There's one guy behind you, and, you know this, but I just feel helpful and I take out in in my jacket, I have one pistol, a media pistol, and I just try to aim and shoot. Shoot at the one behind retro. For it. 17. Yes, that is enough. That is, yeah, that's great. That is yes that is under 13 yards. You hit this guy, real damage.

Bam, 12 damage, nice. That's a Crip bodies, a crane. All right, roll to D6. Oh, shit, like it's 12. That means the crit. Yep, eight. Wow, broken leg. Well, what were you aiming for originally? I was aiming for his torso really. All right, you try and aim for his torso but you ain't a little too low and And ironically, you blow a hole through his knee and his leg does exactly the same thing that happened to stranger. And it goes the wrong way. And he falls down because it was on one knee.

He had too much pressure on it and it flips the other way. And you see this guy? Look at his knee and go. This is such a unique injury. Oh no. See that one's an easy fix. Yes, but sorry, I can't help you accepting that shattered. Combat is over. You have incapacitated three, dudes. You haven't killed anyone yet, but they are not moving darker. I recommend we probably start with the one that's not knocked out. Oh yes. Fuck. Oh, that's spicy.

So I can take all the pain away. So if you just give me a minute, is there anything you guys have any questions for this gentleman? Yeah, Jeff walks over and Cox's Cox as good as he walks, then he goes, I've got a much faster way to take away all the planes sir, fuck you. Now, which one, which one do you want to? Listen to me? I said, fuck you on the dock. Oh, all right. Don't worry. Doctor. It looks like he wants to talk to me. I wouldn't recommend that.

Now where Is Joy Luck, you wake up, the other guy. Well doc indeed, take a look at me real quick. I got a scratch on my brain case. Yes, of course. Wait your brain case. Yeah, my head I can try. Thank looks like the docks a little indisposed. Thank you. Ah. All right my glasses. Through his head, brains go across the floor and he dies. Alright, let's try the next one. Yeah, if you look here, I got a scratch right here. Underneath the nameplate here.

Yeah. I salute, the other guy, you talked about the goes in the doorway unconscious. Yeah, he does not wake up a pistol up and again, I just rolled to once he doesn't wake up. Shit, I drop him haphazardly and Pistol. So he also takes three damage from that I pistol up. The guy who is chemically asleep? Medically? Yes yeah yes. Yeah. You okay I have to roll like crit TENS for him to wake up because he's like drug to sleep. Hmm. All right. It's a 10. So he's asleep.

I would like to go over to the person that Jeb was pistol-whipping first and percent just 11th procedures, just kind of sit them up and start rubbing their shoulders and telling them. Everything's. Okay, trying to trying to wake them up. Oh yeah. He wakes up great. Hey there buddy. You okay feel right. Oh, My head hurts. He had a kind of my thing. Oh, fuck. Oh, shit, you're gonna need a cyber and plant for that year and there's no way you're gonna

Man as long as you fix my head rather face down, cool Prosper reputation plus 1 D 10. I think it's 5j. You're the only person who has a Reputation of six is Jeb. I have sighs. We're down to seven. All right? Then that's how it that's the number that I think. Yeah, because I think that we went up after the train. Yes, you did.

So 6 Plus because you stopped California from exploding in a fusion nuclear reaction? That's correct. Yes. There were you could read no big deal. We don't touch on big things in the story. It's not the case. 00:13. They also rolled 13. So nothing you do. Get an advantage, you do not change their mind. Okay. I'm gonna take the but you don't get a disadvantage because you met.

Yeah, I'm just going to pick I'm also gonna grab some spray paint and start spreading Steve everywhere. Oh snot. Yeah. And you do that, that the tech is was being worked on to adapt it for a bike because it was originally designed for a four-wheel vehicle. It just requires a little calibration so that their system understands that it only has two wheel.

Yeah, that's all. So it's like a real lining of the, of the lidar on each side and there are realigning of the radar system in the center. So, So what did we learn this far? So, our guys in Here Eddie and we don't know where Joy is and these. I don't know if these guys are going to be much help. Unless you want to help us and I look to the one that's still awake.

So okay, I know you've got all of your fingers. This isn't fair. Look, I helped you right now, you help us. Okay, where is Joy? There was some Warehouse Where else? There's, there's a lot of warehouses something. Something about like an explosion explosion explosion. Yeah. They would, they were gonna blow up the warehouse who is a great place to keep Joy, because that will be the grandest of finales. And that's where he said that doesn't sound good. Yeah, he was he puts the

warehouse. It's one of those like pop up spaces. He booked it on his computer to the computer. Somebody see, if you could find. Find a warehouse location. In his computer, in his office, Jim comes running. Some sort of pop up kind of. See it? See if it's like receipts or something. Maybe, he his his email. Maybe he booked something recently. Good god. Well, I was gonna go do that, but I'm being your half computer, will you go ahead Jeff. I'm just smashing shit around

here. Spray painting stuff. Wow, you know I really don't mind taking taking that spray can from you and doing a little art myself. Why I love? You know what I will do it. I was just going to say well those two bicker Vivi listens to them vicar as they're like no I want to do the fuck'd, you do the computer thing, you guys are having an argument over there before you head into the bedroom and there at the desk is a

computer. Alright, I am going to see if I can log in and find an email of something, he booked some sort of sounds good. Yeah, roll wrong perception. Foaming, you walked into a new room 17? You percept, that in this room there are three lockers Desk and a bed, very standard stuff. Okay? There isn't a lot hidden in here, the computer was left on. That's a plus you have to turn it on Roll, electronic security Tech 11, the passwords fairly simple.

You managed to break through it, by writing his name backwards with a 1 on the end was like, the third thing you tried was pretty easy. It's, I'd, it's not a difficult past where didn't expect someone to get into his bedroom, considering there are no windows and he's meant to have guards and you get in there and they're just the last thing that happened was Is that warehouse rental for explosion and the address for it here in White City?

I will write that down, man. Is everyone better at keeping their receipts than they currently? It's a good, it's a good habit to get into. I would recommend it. So I have I have the address of this Warehouse that the explosion is supposed to be happening at. So, we should probably go Soon. Jeb you will, your tile goes off and you realize, you don't have much time before the race starts. Hey, Remy. You grab that out a draft? Yeah, I loaded it up and Vanna White.

I will be got to get going. All right. Why don't you and the doc head out? Well I clean up. How are you getting back? I'll catch it down, man. All right. Hold on. We've got a bit of a Darkness situation. Rachel They're the love of my life is gonna explode, and I gotta make a choice. Do I go try to save her from this Warehouse or dry? Take the necessary equipment, back to tuna so that he can. Make it possible for me to jump over this big old candy.

Hey Doc, can I just see that address real quick? Here we go. Hey, this looks exactly like the warehouse you're supposed to jump, Jeb, but wait a minute. so, this site so so you're telling me That this sick? Son of a bitch. Adding Is caping joy in the wire house that set to explode when we jump over it. Yes, really messed up. Now that you say it that way. Oh, he was never gonna let her free. That son of a bitch was just going to kill her anyway. Jab. All right.

Well now he's definitely gonna die. I'm going to stick out my arm. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger does in Predator. Let's call weathers. Yep, I'm a good Choi. You go win that race. All right. Let's go, retro. Do you so? Where are you going? You're staying I'm going to play clean up here real quick and then I'm going to head to the warehouse I feel like I should go with you to the warehouse. Oh, come on. You're no racer. I mean that's just me.

I don't know what they did to This Joy but I feel like they might not be in the best of conditions. Yep. So I think that you're right, I think that is probably best free for you to come just in case. Some well as I need someone that can back me up and chips going to be driving so I appreciate it. Yeah, yeah. I'm just going to ask if you could just take a step outside the house for the next five minutes real quick. Sure. Sure. You do it.

Ingenuity there. Yeah. On a motorcycle that's going to be extremely difficult. Could just jump them could but I have a sneaking feeling this more than one right now, bring her down. Scraping my knees, scraping the pegs mistakes of it. Non pull us over. So you're prepared to die for any of the Trek. You should have never messed with my joy. Oh no. Oh no.
