I promise, I promise, I'ma keep it safe, but how in the streets of night City, there are two people walking around and actually having kind of a trouble trying to find the bar Terminus and press you turn into an Alleyway and there in front of you is a shop called crystals by Joy, okay, I'm now I'm lost now, I'm lost.
It is right here on the agent, that's what they gave me. Is it's a crystal place, it's obviously not a Merc bar or whatever. They said it was going to be, let's just go home. It said it was here. It has to be here. I don't understand. Press Romeo perception check perception. All right first 16, oh yeah, that's enough. As you're looking around, you notice the No No latency logo.
It's just stuck to the door. Hold up, hold up Terminus look there it is there what I gotta catch up It's a board. We haven't even started our night. We're not even in a bar, yet. This is how third one I've done tonight. So you need to catch up with me. So what was it here? I found it. I, you are ready to give up. You were ready to give up. Within three seconds here, I see the logo. Let's I think we, I think we have to just go in. You take the lead, all right? And it better be fun.
Okay, this time not like the last contract that you made us. Do. So boring. I mean, go hack a little execs computer, to take some pictures from him, blah blah, but we've done it a million times bris. I don't know what you're looking for. Something something fun. Something thrilling. Something we want to make a name for myself in this city. Why not? Just something that's pays good. Why do you want to get yourself killed? Eddie's boring. All right, let's just go in this
place. Okay, okay, okay, so I'm going to just kind of walk To toward I, guess I will walk into this building where I see the logo. Well, you walk into the door as you open the door, the little shop Bell pings and out from the cashier's desk pops, a very hippie looking woman, little name, badge that says joy. Oh oh, hi. We are looking for no latency. Oh um, not at the bar. It's not We have imitation. We were right. We're both invited. Pull up my agent.
I'm like, trying to find. I skulking through haven't told me what to do when people ask about the bar, it's really quite stressful. I'm a terrible front for it. Just don't press the third button on the vending machine and and it really got to give me something to say to people. I'm sorry. Do you want to crystallize? I actually do sell this shit. Well, it's very pretty, but No, that's no that's fine. Just just use the vending machine. I guess I'm gonna have to go
drink. You thank you very much, Terminus heads up to the vending machine and just like perusing. Looking at the different things. Do I want to get some smash? It doesn't actually have anything in it. It's just a door. Sorry. Okay. Press is the third button for the record. I'm bad at this. You see them sort of like slightly having a bit of a stress in this store as the door, cut quite heavily screeches open, and there's a staircase down.
You guys head on down the staircase and as you enter the door at the bottom of the staircase you enter into, honestly, one of the coolest bars you've ever seen and it looks fairly new in construction, there are a bunch of booths around there is a square bar in the middle of the room a bit, like the A old 21st Century television show. Cheers. And there's a bar person apps that bar bald quite tall and lies. Very simple, minimalist clothing. And they look at you and smile. Oh my God.
Press this place is cool. See, I told you only you had it, I know you had it in you, you just have to be patient sometimes. Hello, drinks. I mean, we are a bar, it's nice. Yeah issue. I'm, I'm ping. Give an invitation or do we have to kill you? She pulls out. Press calls out, her agent invitation, yes. Oh good. And I'm kidding. Of course, but please sit down. What would you like to drink?

First drinks on me. What do you need? Goodness, never been treated this way in a place. Like what is this place? You said you didn't stink? Yep. Okay.

Can I show you doing everything in my power to get Domino back? But that's, that's a bigger project. All right. Well hey, thanks for the hospitality. Yeah. But you don't really make a lot of money as a bar. You make money in other ways, you know? Yeah, yeah.

Very, you know, Melancholy just took my God damn duck. I'm very much on drugs right now, so I need to know. Is this sad TV sad about a duck? Yeah. Okay. You know, press I think you're right. Maybe I should just lay low on the catch a little bit. I've been doing its Terminus like Trails off, kind of concerned. Yeah, the catch to uh someone doing downcast strange. It pops his head out the door. Y'all. Damn it. What's going on? Hey, you ready? Do we do we kill those people

Like a sir, right? I'm cool. I'm in the streets, I'm understanding. What's going on on night City.
So here's what we're gonna do, REM is going to pull out an unlabeled vile. And you, look, I got some home. Brew kit and cash right here. If we want, Terminus has a vial in his hand. Two and then he immediately puts it back in his pocket he said you home brew you say yeah I did it myself. Got it directly from bio Technica oh my God press this is it if you're ever going to do it this is it. This is the time to do it Priss. Hi I think I will pass it's she's so boring.
So boring please I will partake. Here you go. Would you like me to resist torture? Absolutely, I'm scared. Are we gonna lose Terminus? No, he made this, he made this kitten catch in a plastic bag, the street Terminus, you know, waves it around his nose a little bit. And then then, you know, takes it in takes a hit and rolls a 17. Very much, you're fine. But you do now have to make a cat based pun at some point. Oh, okay. Okay. You're not Afflicted with having
to do it all the time. Just want to show. Show show. Let me ask your new friend. Are you feel lining good? I'm actually sorry. Yeah, you're right. I felt like something like something was in there but out it never mind. That's just the hair. Ball effect. It's just a drip. It's good. Oh man this is good stuff. Listen TV person Remy. You said yep. Retro Remy. Remy retro. Either ones. Fine with me. Okay.
Listen. I like you and I like the cut of your jib and I really like your kitten catch. So why don't you tell us everything? You know about this amazing beautiful place and how we can find some work. I need to get my duck back. All right. How do I get my duck back, retro? You know, everyone gets a favor for Christmas. Yes. I do now. Okay. And you know how normally you'd like? Eat crap. So no and then Del and like, put up with jab and you'd go on an adventure and you get what you
want. They're not here. No, because they are people to celebrate the holidays with. Yeah, because you're a sad motherfucker. He's a bummer, huh? Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'll do if you want. I'll hire these two people. To help you get your dog back and that'll be a Christmas gift done. Okay first I have a question now is is a duck, a euphemism for something. This is a you know, it's the name of the new ganger that
we're going to eyesore. No. It's an actual duck specifically a non cybernetic duck real. The real animal. Yeah quack quack. Wow that Cracker that is yes that is actually very valuable then. Yes. That's why the collector sold it, you gotta be kidding me. A nice. But how can you put a price tag on friendship on a man to animal bonding? So you became attached to the duck. That's what it is. We are attached to each other. It was ripped away from me. I miss mr.
Smith that son of a bitch. I'm gonna. What about that? You lost it and he just ripped saw it as an opportunity to replace. I would never misplace Mama Mallard, how dare you Pang But all right if you if you have an idea how to get my duck back pain, please let me know. How do I get that? I don't forget get them back. Do you know the last place that the duck was? Didn't the news say that it was sold last night in an auction at the collector mansion?
That's right. So we had to go to collector Mansion collector Mansion fuck. Can I do a local expert to know if I have heard about this person or where they are? Please. Yeah. Okay. That is a 16 16 is good enough.
The Collector is a fixer that does a lot of night markets and midnight markets, like a lot of them and they're very famous for being one of the few people in the Underworld of night City, who sells to the top-end Corpus their mansion is this opulent very, it used to be filled with these gold and guys called Steve's that went a bit wrong. So now they're filled with a different gods but everything's like fancy.
See fountain in the front, that's actually using holographic water, big open doors, classical music playing. When you go in to view your items, secret vault underground and very famously was one of the events in Domino disappearing. So immediately Terminus, you just see a singular tear go down his cheek as he says, this is it, this is the one, this is it press. We're going to a big extravagant mansion and we're breaking in. And what are we stealing a duck?
This is what you are looking for. This is what I've been looking for. This is it, it must be a Christmas miracle then because I will say that I am actually quite intrigued by this job, especially because it's a live animal. I don't think I've actually seen a live animal since I was a child. I-i'm, just curious to see it myself. This is very valuable. To think I almost ignored your call. What else are you going to do? On a holiday season time.
You have no friends except me, far inferior kitten. Catch. That's what I was going to be doing. Well, new friends. Let us heed this call of Christmas and go get my goddamn duck. Havana White. You have much cyber deck. Oh yeah. You guys follow retro. He's not going to the bathroom or anything like the vehicles over there, and they're pointing away from the door to like just a door in the back.
So before we go on this extravagant Journey right to The Collector Mansion I, you said you'd be willing to pay us. Yes, how much we talking here? Oh, let's forget about that part. You're just ready to go on this Mission without asking the payment terms. We need a contract. We need to get everything in. That you're here. Yeah. So boring. What's your normal rate? Look, you go figure that out. All right. And Terminus stands up and he just hits the Dance Floor.
Oh my God. You're dancing with like it. See people stranger comes out and goes old dancing now. And he dances like a dad and somehow manages to dance out of rhythm at every moment and it's incredibly unnerving. I'm down with my bad self. I've got the angel, do you have a lot of money? I live in the back of up or not even a good Mark, anyway, whatever. So what's your price for the two of us? I would say. Let's go with 5,000 5,000. Each five thousand each. I mean, it is Christmas.
Normally, I do three and a half four, but it is for reme Remy. Mmm, forget that I got your Christmas gift, right? Mmm. And there's a thousand up front, okay? That would be perfect. And we usually do, we usually deal in contracts? I don't know if you have some sort of like it's a ping pulls out a tile from their pocket and they press their thumb on the screen and contract appears and to sign it. You also have to put your thumbprint on, okay?
So press will just review the terms as she always does. And if everything is agreeable, she will sign. It's a very basic contract. Act because they just wrote it up. So it just says will help. Retro get duck, will pay 5,000. Get the rest of this money. As long as you don't die, which is what it says at the bottom Fair. All right, she'll side hater - yeah, I need you to sign this. All right, come in and make sure you get paid, I secure that. Look, I got us some good money.
Okay. That is like fine. As you look down, you see that? You're both going to get 5 grand. Terminus just looks at the money looks at the number and like covers one eye and goes like is that 500 or is, is that, was it that the five to five thousand four forces. He just puts a big X on the signature spot. It's a thumbprint, I think I messed up your machine. He puts his thumb. All right, well, that contract signed should I email You a
receipt? Yes, that would be lovely, price-wise Flash and you feel you're your own Communicator vibrate. You assume that that's terrific, Perfect. All right, then now we can make our way to this collector Mansion. Not that way follow retro. Yeah. Well me and Remy wolf down the rest of his drink sniff whatever Cokie can off of the rim. Put the glass in his pocket and walk right out to Vanna, White retro walks to the back of their bar and opens a door and kind of beckons you to in.
And as you look through, there's a there's a white VW bus sitting inside this room. Wow, does everything about this place is just amazing. I love it. It's I'm not sure what to think of it all press. This is nice, Just Go With It, embrace it. Yes, yes, embrace it. Sure I will do my best retro Gibson turns on Vanna, White turns on some classic Christmas pop-punk jams and gets ready to go. Retro beckons you to into the van. I a shotgun. I'll sit in the back press as
you get into the back. You realize that the backs really comfy because it's got a nice big bench seat because it's a v-dub bus. And you also noticed you're
right. That there's a undeployed turret built into this van in the back so you could climb into it and shoot from it. And the right this is cool and as you're in it, retro hits garage door opener and the van starts to rise up. And it opens up through the street as the doors, open in the street, to a secret elevator for than a Wait and that away drives off. It closes you drive through the streets of night City. The Silo and retro show is recorded in front of a live
studio audience. Join Sano and retro. The oddest couple in night City exclusively on our patreon at patreon.com forward slash no. Latency is my bed made. Microwave isn't working can you talk to it? What will these to get up to next? I don't know why you keep sticking your Anger in that part. That's not a bowling ball. Oh God. Remy. Do you head straight to the collector mention? Yes I don't think there's anything else for me to stop for. All right?
You guys head straight to the collector mansion and as you get to the front of the collector mentioned, there's the opulent beautiful Fountain. Front is spewing water in Christmas colors is Christmas trees in the front yard, and there are two big silver. Bodied. Men covered in cybertek standing outside the front and A sign that says animal auction night to and more option than to, okay, can we do some research on what happened on night one? What kind of people showed up there?
Sure. Do you want to do that, by asking people inside, would you check the local network? Yeah, I want to check the local net, like, do a library search like basically Google it? Yeah. Okay. I mean local expert, another 1717 you discover some information, okay? And all these people, the I'm assuming they were invited or is this a public forum? It is an invited place. You can also buy a ticket, okay, gotcha.
So get this guy's looking through the garden pages and some information looks like night. One was a big success, they have people from arisaka biotechnical. I mean, you name it all the big letters but they also had tuner. I don't know if you guys like the fish. Oh tuna. Sorry, Luna was here. There's a smudge. On my on my agent tuna. Okay. Well hmm. Alright, tuna was here, who was Tuna? June has this mechanic that Jeb's Ganda scene has done a couple jobs for it's not.
All right guy, I'm really got to know him too. Well, I'm going to give him a call. See if he has anything to say about night one. That's a good idea. I'm gonna check my tile and see if I got Tunas contact information. You do ring a ling. A ling, tuna act, casual. All right. Turn up. No do not retro. Oh, where are we? Oh, yeah. That's gone. All right, Hey, listen. So, you know, it's almost Christmastime, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Same to you, Sandy. You Father.
Christmas and all Tommy. I just found out recently that the collector is doing a sale for animals and, oh, yeah. Oh, you were there. Awesome. Tell me, are they selling any, like, cute animals, like, rabbits? Ask - it was it sold, was it salt? Was it what was it? Like a cybernetic or like true duck or dark completely like fresh? We might have been like a quote or something but he was quite as but literally you know anyone by that one yet? Oh yeah.
I mean I but literally everyone in the room that bead on it, I mean I did but I didn't win. You know why? They're bringing to the collector, mention before Doug you? Yeah, I've been to the collector Mansion before but you know, how people like to talk sometimes people? You know. It's funny because I don't know, story say say well there's money in it, money won't get my money. Tell you, what do you know anybody who do? You know, anyone who seemed the
most likely to have? Probably one are gonna be one of these Where the high rollers because I mean, look, I'm on my own. My own shop by double our money. That's right? Yeah, no. I know what it's like, being a businessman. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, honestly, there were like four people, I'd say seem like they put down a really big beard that just because they pressed more numbers in anything to anyone else the the arisaka representative, but they were more interested in the reindeer.
The biotechnical people because, you know, animals there was the guy from Fury Robotics and the Ami I was there as well. I mean, I did on it and then, you know, there was some guy from Microtech, but I mean, may have you seen my critic representative? Like it's coming off with a twig? So, all right. Well, alright, thanks tuna. I appreciate it. You're going to make my girlfriend's kids day if I could get this animal. So, all right, well, good luck.
Weird phone call. Norman you call me about light vehicles and things. Yeah. But, you know, I just wanted to see how you were doing for Christmas. Let's hang up, just just text me about you. Gotta go, you gotta go, the guy talks. She just loves talking, huh? All right, so to says that see, there are some Akka, biotechnical Theory or Mikey Tech or Microtech. But listen, I just want to say I'm sorry about your duck case. You know, I know the duck means a lot to you.
So you don't need to be sorry, just be ready to get even precise and idea. What do you think? Listen? What if we go and we pretend like you're the so low that the corporation hired to come pick up the duck. And it was like a snafu kind of thing. You're like, here, I'm here to pick up the duck and they say, I don't know what you're talking about and then you go, oh my God, we're going to get fired.
You can we make a big thing about it and maybe they give us some information about the client and who actually got them. Actually got that, give us a lead. It's a shot in the dark but, you know, we gotta go inside. Hmm. - yes. What you have a solo, I'm sorry. What? Are your skills can terminus? He pulls out his little cyber deck that has like anime characters all around it and he says, this little thing causes a lot of trouble.
I wonder because I've been able to hack into the system more than once here at the collectors. Could I possibly access it through a? Not Hardline if you want to get into the net architecture. That has some kind of Nation. We got to be within about 6 meters from the node. You can get me within 6 meters and then he takes out some virtuality goggles and he says, I just need a few seconds in there. Maybe we could find something. I think the bathroom is close
enough to the one that I hacked. All right, well, we just got to make sure that the bathroom is empty and it doesn't look weird. That three people just walked into it. No, here's what we'll do. Let's go. And pretend to auction, you go to the bathroom, I give you the password and then that way you can hack in. While sit sitting there pretty on the toilet password, my get me through. I'll have to face a black ice
maybe. Yeah. We don't know what's going to be in there but hey, that's part of the thrill, isn't it? Yeah. Also be careful because the computer also technically corrupted by some other version of kitten. Catch. Wow, that's fun. Hmm. Other other thing that I should mention if there is a net runner in the net or Architecture, they'll know. I'm there immediately. Or if there's a demon, the demon will also know. I'm there immediately. And then they'll set off the
alarms. And then, we're pretty fucked. But, you know, hey, we've been through worse, right? Princess a, yeah, but there is very likely that they may have somebody. This is a, you know, well-known Mansion well-known fixer. They may have net Runners already, it might be risky. That's your department. All right. You do though, you do your super spy thing. You come in, you look around you check the corners. I don't know what you do. It's boring. All right.
Well how about we just do some reconnaissance to start in the auction area? Figure out who's there? Figure out? What's the vibe of everything and if you want to go Go on the net, at some point during the night, maybe toward the afterward, there for a little bit, we don't want to set off alarms as soon as we get there. All right. Yeah, you're the one with the guns. Yeah. As a matter of fact she you would see in the backseat. Well, first of all, she was admiring that really cool turret
that you have on the back. Oh yeah. But she, you see, I guess I didn't, we didn't really describe our characters, how their appearance. But Chris, she she has like this long cloak that she wears. It's like a long. Black cloak and there's like a big collar around it, so you can't like the kind of covers a little bit of her face, but you don't when you first look at her see, all of her weapons, but it's the kind of under her big
trench coat. And so she went, she was sitting, she took them all out and put them on the seat next to her. So you see, as we're, you know, getting ready to get out, she takes this big assault rifle. It's like a like custom-designed one. That's like black and silver. Like with this really cool Chrome on it. She puts that Back in her jacket, and she drops the heavy pistol and she puts that in her jacket. So she's got like all four weapons. All right.
Yeah, as far as Terminus goes, he's Urban Chic, he has a big bomber jacket. That's his armor Jack and no helmet. He doesn't roll with helmets. Helmets are for Chumps. They're ugly and he has big poufy. It has a big poofy mohawk with like something. During his eyes, like eyeshadow, basically, going across both of his eyes, like One Mono eyeshadow thing going on and that's his style. And he has his little very heavy pistol that he calls Boomer in
his pocket. Retro just getting ready, put on a digital face, create some digital classes that can slip from time to time, so it can kind of push them up. Even under was really do anything. And also at the bottom of the screen, create a little black pack, very nice. so, you guys woke up to the door, Yeah. Yes. Press will like kind of lead the way and walk up to these bouncers. Hello, we are here for the auction tonight. If you should yes, I do yes. Or what?
Make sure you register with the receptionist and takes his right arm and opens the door elegantly. And it creaks with this feeling of money, it is a big heavy door, this door opens. You start to hear classical music? Echoing through this beautiful room. This has been a restored old mansion. It's been in the city for hundreds of years at this point. And it is gorgeous inside, huge, big columns. And as you look up, there's this
balcony. But the second floor is and be on the balcony as a second set of stairs that leads to what looks like a private room. And in front of you and the very front of the room, the desk, the receptionist twiddling a pen. Hello? We are here to register for the auction. Hello there, nice to meet you. Welcome to the clock to mention, give an invitation. Unfortunately, we are do not whe Open registrants are here to register. They thought tapping away at their keyboard. All right.
And well now we've got space today, okay? To let people come, you know, so if you could just put your names down there for security, what do they do with this information? When we put our names down after every option is completed, we burn it. Your privacy is important to us here at the collector. Mention, of course, the sea. Come on. Write your name down. Stacy. Do we believe? Yes? Do I well for me? Yeah, do I believe her or totally this person human perception? I wrote the Ten.
Do you believe her? I'll roll as well. And like try to nudge. You met her mother. Yeah. You also believe her. Okay. Remy will go ahead and neither are you surprised by this because the collector is notorious for doing pseudo legal shit but under the protection of so many corporations because he sells shit to them all the time so they just kind of let him do his thing. So yeah, I mean I'll still continue to say you know Stacy Yes, they say they burn in. I'm sure they do.
So let's just go along with it. It's not a big deal. Yes, let's do that.

So you have now done stolen goods which I had always your Pete has as you're saying this. There's a way to that comes by with a drink and he grabs it as he's listening to you, huh? So I wanted a chance to get my duck back and that's certainly will be difficult for him to Grant it. It's not here anymore. Is that? That's correct. Now, I know by your rules that you can't tell me who sold it to you. But you don't have any rules, as you can tell me who you didn't
sell it to suppose. That's true. He's the thing that true do I want to? I'm sorry too. I'm sorry to butt in here. Hi, my name is, thank you. I worked on it all day. Welcome, my name is Rick.

But overhear my friends. Duck problems malady, Mallard e, as we might call. It is funny, isn't it?
Yes, listen, maybe there's something we can do to alleviate you of some kind of In return for some kind of information for you see, my friend and I here we are a little new to this scene that you have going on here. But we're not new to the corporate scene. Yes. Stacy why don't you inform our friend here? Our lovely host about the things that we can do to help them. We are, we can offer many services.
Has for you or for your clients. If that is also an option, we do many jobs for hire any new items that may be on your list to auction off. We are very very good at acquiring things when need be, you know, a customer doesn't pay, let's say they said they would pay, then they didn't pay and you have to track them down for that. Yes, you need a little bit of muscle, maybe you need a little bit of black. Male, I have something. So last night, the dark was a surprise.
Unfortunately word about the monkey has. Got out. It's Monkey Business tonight. He's overly laughs over the last thought that's so funny. Oh my goodness, I will probably need some protection for the monkey in its Transit. Going on to its following destination, it's going to be We don't know who's bought it yet, but with the amount of press that that's got some air leaks with those, naughty media, who come in with fake names, can you believe that it's going to come into my lovely home?
I invite these people in. How you doing, bro? Travis names travesty yes and the eight, but I suppose I would need someone perhaps who is okay with a little violence to protect the cargo and I cargo I mean at Monkey over there the monkey the monkeys like jumping around and it looks pretty happy. It's just like swinging off a pole at stuff. Yes, that's great. Hey Stacy, what do you? Yes, that seems like the perfect. The perfect job.
I've done many protections of many VIPs and this monkey is certainly a VIP. So, so, what do you want? Well, like I said, you can't tell us who you sold it to, but you can say who you didn't sell it to roll. Persuasion, 14. How many can I add some luck? And some luck. Yes, you told me. How much like do I have? I would sport points of luck. Nice, that's enough that's all retro. If I weren't partial to when you're dead what you gonna do with your head? Anyway, that's for another time.
Um, so I can't tell you who I sold it to but perhaps maybe and if you were to help me with the monkey delivery in a probably tomorrow, Morning. I'll get the receptionist to send you the information. Let's say I left the computer unlocked in my office, with some of the invoices that aren't going to be burned until we finish the Animal Auctions because there's a third night tomorrow. So let's say I did that, and you protected the monkey and that's your payment. That's what you get.
I think that seems pretty reasonable, right? Well, I'm going to go to the penthouse. I'm going to go in there. Then I'm going to go to the bathroom for approximately 11 minutes. Don't ask me how, I know how long I'll be that's personal and so you have that amount of time, okay? Perfectly good, a drink from one of the waitstaff same time, don't collect Winks at you and walks upstairs to the penthouse.
And about a minute later, walks down the stairs and walks into the bathroom, What A pompous ass Douche. All right, I'm going to go into his office. I'll do a quick search on the computer, will get all the information. We need, will get the hell out of here. All right, roll the roll security tech for me. Okay. Just to make sure you don't trigger anything back. Okay, so this is a minute, add two points of luck to this. All right, so I got a 20. Oh wow, nice, very good.
Yes, you managed to skirt around some security, most of it was turned off like the That. But you do also find a little account for payroll and petty cash, and you find 300, Eddie's with that 20. You just rolled which is a nice little kitty to find, okay? The owner, I don't want to rob the collector, you find it. It's petty cash. You do what you want with that. Oh believe me robbing the collector is like the Sesame. You have to do in this.
Okay well Terminus thinks about it and I'll go odds and evens roll 1B. T-to odds, I take it even if I don't do it. It's I can't help myself. You get 300 Eddie's even though I'm making five thousand it over the steel plate in the collector. And you also find an invoice. I take a picture of it with my agent, or I download this image straight to my agent from the laptop. That's free. Bada-bing bada-boom. Is there any other pertinent information that I'm finding on this computer?
This is the only Nation about the duck sale that you can find, okay? So I immediately just close up the computer and I even lock it for him. That's nice of you. I know exactly when I walk out I go straight to the one for doing that. You get inspiration. That's cute. I like that. That's what I'm gonna do. All right even though I still 300 is lock up behind ya. Come on, you know? So So, I head out, I head out to the three of them and I show them.
My age, are I just text them, the, the image that the two of them. Yeah, so it was Fury robotics, of course, the people who aren't here tonight, but he was thing says where it's stored at. Right now, The Collector, mention night, City Fury, robotics night City, okay? So this was written to Fury, robotics 23,000 Eddie's first, non cybernetic duck. Wow, 1,500 for the auction fees. 2500 for the man. However, it's not going to pay us for the monkey. He's charging 2500 for the
animal handling. We should I this is a rookie mistake. I should have asked for a for a fee. Plus, he's always do this. I mean, you know, I care about the money but it's what you should have understood but if you understood the rules within the take some bribes mean, look, that's 3,000! That he's right off the bat. What does that say down there press on the bottom? 27. Thousand Earth at deliver the live. Look at the money. This is my cyber eyes just not
working right now. Your item will be start Warehouse, 25 until delivery location is supplied. Daily storage is charred at 75, 750 Eddie's. So Warehouse, 25 is where it's stored. Can I do a local expert? See if I know where that is. Yep. All right. A 10. Hmm. It was a DVD. Fate. Okay. Cool. There's a deviate because Warehouse 25 is actually run by Night, City, courier company called you P&S all ultimate
packing and shipping mmm-hmm. Okay, well, where has 25 is right here in town and it's likely part of how the collector delivers things and we don't have to deliver the monkey till tomorrow, right? Yeah. Yeah. So we've go get my duck back and Come back and do the deal for the monkey. Oh yeah, he knows who you are. He doesn't know who. Yeah, I guess we got to do the monkey thing to tomorrow. And where are we supposed? Where are we supposed to be? Delivering? This monkey?
Did he give us a damn it? They haven't sold it yet. So okay, so we have to wait going to be. The secretary is going to send us all that information. Yes and now we got to get this man. His duck or talking man. How terrible would it be? A Fury. Ended up buying the monkey too I wonder what they want to do with it. Well, they're not here. You're not here. That's right. So they must be very happy with that. Duck that they're going to unfortunately and I think time is of the essence because
