Last time I know, latency. Do we really think sanne would have wanted a priest here? My mouth will always be looking over you by 888. Hold on. Hey Remy. Listen, look me in the eyes and tell me you're not gonna say anything stupid. And I did the dishes, a good proxy. Then those taking this really hard so please be gentle with them. But do let me come over and talk to you a minute. You got enough. I said be gentle. Dear mr. Beebe. Average donation, Admin know.

You have friends in high places. Send ping. Our thanks. Hey Randall. Listen you got we got talk about your wait a minute. I Jeff. Hey I wanna I found some found some help. They've got off. What the fuck? Shoot it. Thank you. You're welcome. Bang. Bang. Not looking good for me. Be my foot. You missed. Well they God job here is done and by job. I mean our friend's funeral job also who's scheduled who scheduled us a knows who's cooking Sandoz Funeral on Halloween.

Bad move. It was the only time they had for the Groupon. All right. Otherwise it wouldn't. It would be known boy. We got it, we got a deal because everyone's on holiday and no one schedules are Hollow Halloween funeral. Now before we do it can we just can we just all process this for a second? Like there's not much to process. There was cybertek hands. They came to life all by themselves, the artificial intelligence? It it speaks for itself. This. Yeah, I will say I wasn't the

right guy. Our job, these things. I didn't bring them in here and I'm pretty sure my boss didn't bring them in here either. So clearly, there's something, this is just, this is not normal, is what I'm trying to say. This is not normal, not a normal day in the job. Oh, I'm kind of freaking out. Well, where are the bodies from? Well, these are all so these bodies here, these are all normal. These are all like that. Mean like normal like could be abnormal. I mean, I don't keep inventory

of everything. I just kind of like take the one that I'm assigned to and and do what I need to do on them. So like I am not in charge of everything, I'm just an intern, okay? So and you gotta work on a national holiday Halloween. God bless you. So sorry, you have to work today. I'm gonna go over to one of the cybertech feet and check out the toe tag. How much how much do we know about like, how much can we look up?

I will, I'll pull tweezers out of my bag about a dead person in one of these places but we just get to know like their whole life story or other come 739 4vv. We do have their records, I can, I can look them up and I'll go over to like one of our computers and see if I can look up some of these patient records. Cool. Just get over to the Computer get on to chair and start to put in the code for the patient.

Okay, so this person they don't have too much data on them because they were homeless, but the only real record that I have is some person named dr. Sawtooth worked on them. But doesn't it sound like a price names? All too, well. Yeah, dude, yeah. Well, he works with us. We should probably go pay him a visit. He's actually a long time. So what the name? Like dr. Sawtooth. He sounds a little. He's very clean. He's very kind and some one of us had a special relationship with Iraq.

Look, jab in the gut. Yeah, he installed my leg. Hey, what? All right. The thing with me and Sawtooth, but I guess you and Sawtooth date. Am I doing it right? Yes, you're doing it wonderfully. I was say that it is it is I'm so glad that in our society, we We have funeral arrangements for for people without a families with no one to paid for by the community. So wonderful you put out a tree on and it's all coming from the patreon budget. You don't know how much it as

signing up for a patreon. Really helps Creator or incentives? Lauren's. Danos case a hired assassin killing machine who turns out to be a clone but it's it's a long story. About 73 episodes. Well, Florida entertaining all the way through. Well it's a little strange that your doctor Sawtooth worked on a moving foot. I think the file probably is referencing to when it was attached to the human. Well let's check the other feet. Yes. I think that would be good.

I'm just going to say around now, I'm not going to be surprised when the Sawtooth been doing some shady shit. I mean, that guy's got a is kind of messed up in the head a little bit. I mean, I love the guy, I love them to death, you know, I trust with my life but still kind of strange fella. Okay. Another one worked on by Sawtooth beginning to detect a pattern here, too. Of three. What about the others through the other one? Is a different doctor. I've never heard of.

Well, what about these? The ones doing bag? Yeah, question. Yes. Before you all do your Invading dead body thing embalming and all that that actually yeah of your job is to remove cybertek from the dead and sell it to pay for their funeral, right? But my thing is, is do you not check said cybertek for any viruses before him? We do run them through a system. Yes, generally. I mean it came up all the one that I worked on. Did I didn't work on all of these bodies though. So I don't know.

And the body not listening, that's ominous. Okay. Oh, that's very ominous. I got a question to while we're asking questions. Dr. Day boy fucking, with the lights. I should probably check on dr. Dave It's a high-pitched whine, little pop noise, and above all of the bodies. An engram appears. Oh, what floating? uh, no angry man, angry man appears Ingram Ingram. Spelled with my like someone's last night. Yes. Does that look like somebody's last name? Jab.

I don't what? I'm not sure what it looks like. The computer reboots and old it is on the screen, is this angra, this, I became a lot of ground, split virus, two points of focus and 13 tendrils. 13 a lucky number. What I recognize this from, any of my hobby, reading of Cryptid or myths, and cyber than night City.

You can roll for it. I will for for you and listeners out there that didn't know what an Ingram is like me spoon and also like Jeb, my character, an Ingram is a unit of cognitive information imprinted in a physical substance theorized to be the means by which memories are stored as biophysical or biochemical changes in the brain or other biological tissue in response to external stimuli bye.

Or in this case, a matrix looking thing that looks like an eyeball me. Jade has no idea what any of the words you just said our, that was pretty complicated. Yeah, I own a however, knows exactly what this is. Iona obviously, I was just over here so I can take the whole time. I don't know. All you glean from it letís, see you. And H. See you and yours. That's what I get for a 28. Yep. See you a car. Do you want one more letter? You want one more letter? Is it end?

Don't you think one more letter would be fair the GM's tone here? I don't trust it. Hmm. Can our quarter. What have we? We try to decipher here. Maybe it's 13 letters. Oh yeah, most definitely I don't know what this means. I have no idea seems very familiar but I can't really place it when familiar. Yeah, I got something in my own engrams in the back of my computer brain can't seem to figure it out. See, you are 13. Mystic symbols, hmm.

Have we looked inside of these bags with the engrams on them? Well, that's what I'm also asking about. We could, we should maybe we should open them. It was volunteer, I am not going anywhere near them. I'm just gonna get my combat shovel ready and be ready to smack it. If it comes back up. Shit, she like out grab the zip at true. Yeah. Go ahead at the ready with my car. A shovel and Dale grabs, the zip. On go. Okay. Three, two, one, go.

I hit it. All right, you hit a convulsing body underneath that the engram as its floating. The body is shaking, the eye is a green and it starts to shake less and less and it fades because I keep hitting the always giving our electronic Human a sound staccato. They sound like that. Going through corruption, a sound incomplete. Make this body convulses the engram above it fades in the body moves to Stillness. The other bag starts shaking and you perceive that the same shit

is happening. All right, I've exercised one. Oh my gosh, the others are shaking. Oh no. All the other one is, is that what the other ones are doing? Are they shaking? Oh God. Jeff. Get your shovel ready? These two to knock the shit. Don't stop till they stop on their own. And as they convulse in the bags, the convulsion gets less

and less and less. And they go still the computer in the corner continues to Glow, this, engram above it, and will not boot to the software it was showing before. All right, so I got a quick question. How your for any of you more biologically Client and education. Wise, listen. I are we dealing with lack of like a biological virus, or is this like a computer virus and, or maybe some of both also, um, do we think that these things are coming alive because of

their cybernetic implants? Or is this like a, a rising from the dead with magic kind of situation? Hi, this is This is definitely they those bodies were dead so this is definitely of the technological. Oh variety, I mean, we could say Supernatural. Know my answer. Oh shit. It's not real. Yes, Magic's not real, it's cool. We're at, I mean, I don't know. Can you explain what the pictures was? Explain love if that's not magic. I don't know what Savvy and biological means.

Not Savvy in technical things. Well actually I kind of em but not this is something beyond my expertise which then would be magic not magic. So not magic if it's unexplainable, I just I just kind of, you know, our place that under magic. Well, you do know that the human body works off of electrical impulses. Correct. Jeb whale. Hold on, you're telling me that mind Tire laughs, he's boils down to a bunch of electrical impulses. Yeah, pre-downloaded ryu's, mind into multiple bodies.

You know, when like, your heart goes out and they use it to separator the paddle thing. That's, that's electric pulses. I'm Jeb, kind of like finds a place to sit down for a second and besides kind of go big and he goes, he's, he's life. Just no electricity running through my veins. Yeah. You're literally an electric skeleton with a meat suit covering it. Yeah. What retro said one? Well, since this is affecting the computer also this is clearly some sort of virus or something.

So we got smoke comes up from the top of it. And the engram Bates. Okay, maybe we should, you know, I wanted to investigate but I think we should leave this place is just I can't work here anymore. This is just too weird. I'm going to look towards Ayanna and then I'm going to look towards Jeb very sternly burn. It burn it burn this whole place down the will work. We're not going to burn a markdown. We could burn the bodies that might not be a bad idea.

Well usually we offer cremation services in the back. Yeah, I think I think the input is where you can burn the bodies, there's a bun. But oh yeah, we should. We should just burn all of these. I think usually there is paperwork and things that we have to do and a process. But, you know, I think we should just throw them all in the input running, but that Burn It to the Ground. It's loud in this small board. That's just the sound of the air leaving the bodies that squeaks

a little bit. I'll I thought it was children because it's Halloween, but that works too. Oh, what are those? I'm not really familiar with what children sounds like the trick or treating for now. No I think pangos staining with that. Okay thanks wait. You're telling me that trick or treat tiny children, stopped by the She didn't bar for treats. That's not what it sounds like they go by crystals by Joy.

Julie I think it's really funny or if the children make their way down out in the bar, but they don't live in a white lift and just line up made a Halloween scary dances. We have to see this. Yeah, we do. Either way, I'm going to start dragging bodies and shoving them in the input, all right? Just make sure that our track bodies over to the input, tray them in and hit the burn button eyes. I suppose I should do something with dr. Dave is still alive or is he

like gone? Dr. Dave walks in to the room. Oh, oh, well while there's this quite but there's a little pause. All right. Well, I'll help you move some of these bodies around. Just make sure not to let the bodies hit the floor. All right. Thank you. That was that was it? That was Joka. Wanted to put, get throw in there. We can move on now. Well I only count do wait what are you throwing the bodies away? Sir. Doctor So, you have to understand these bodies are cursed.

There's a virus in them and they need to band attacked me. I assumed. So, what did you throw? My shit. Is my hand pulls your hands. Yeah. Oh, is it this one and you pick up a? It's full of bullets. It's very pretty. Yes, I don't know. Oh, I'm sure the workers comp will cover a new hand for, you know, I'll get a new hunt. Yeah. Yeah, exactly to be okay. But also you know, going to need an extra hand around here. Hey comedy. Yes, give me that. What?

No, give me the and it's mine. No, fuck you. I don't know what the, who the hell are you? Because I don't know who you are. No, it's fine. You don't know that exact situation. It's still attached to a human and I'm alive. It should. Resign engrams give it a different here to maybe we should get rid. Your hand, you have a tool hand, did you see? Did you see any, like, green and Graham app here? Just like a few minutes ago from your hand and groom? Like a, you might be wondering

what is an engram? Well, I'm really glad you asked. That's an unit of cognitive information imprinted in. The physical substance theorized to be the means by which memories are stored as biophysical or biochemical changes as the brain. Or other biological tissue in response to external stimuli who like a hologram. Yeah. Well, sort of no, actually, yes, we did. But we hologram, I was gonna come in here and say I saw a weird Chloe hologram. Where did you see it over the hand?

As I crushed it with my foot. Okay. The hand that you crashed. Okay. The one I stole from the dead body. Oh I mean that I found and thought was good. Okay, hasn't so tried to kill me. They're all infected with some sort. Virus. And we need to dispose of them. Like all these ones that were disposing of right now? Right? Okay, I know, usually, we have a process. So why is it's like also and it's from fire. Why is Noone dealt with that?

It literally just happened again, virus was on the computer this whole place is infected, good? Right. Well, I'll get a Netrunner in, I guess, I guess there's no more work for today. I'll see you next week, woo, to pay you for the food, okay? Cool. You what you worked? You worked more than five hours so you know, Honestly, medical unions. You know what I mean? Corpo let the police know, dr. Dave comes over you and try still like know where you and give you like a dunno.

Yes. And then Del just grabs their elbow. Oh well, this is a moment. Anyway, I'm going to I'm gonna go and buy a new hand. Probably should buy a second one. I mean the go to match, right? So you should just burn that one. No, I need it to pay for things TV, man. You need your hand. Thanks setting, you might be affecting. You going to spread things with your. In fact I am not infected. I am. There was no Ingram on me and engram and an anemone, what was it? Take his hand and brown.

Don't I need the and really do. You're gonna take my hand. You really gonna take these guys home. Yeah, I'm not. To take it, but I'm telling you. It's all right. Vandal robe rolling. Oh gosh. I'm gonna get fired. They can't fire you. That's under fighting so badly. Then Del rolled badly. Yeah. And Dell rolled 11 minus 3 because they wrote a Crip one. They go to grab dr. Dave he moves fendall slips Falls over and their knee hits the ground and the light on.

Like cracks and breaks again. I just had that fixed come in. They try and grab a Doctor. Dave again, dr. Dave, buzz back backs up towards Jeb. Whoa, you can do anything job but now I'm just, I'm just watching. Well, the doctor, Dave has now stepped towards you was standing right behind him. Yeah, I mean I'll Stand My Ground. I'm not about to let you know, he'll get a bump into me. That's fine. You're not gonna grab him or

anything. Anything look I'm not I'm not too worried about this guy 8 is, I mean do we really think that he's and put it out to the group? Do you really think that he's just into the cowboy also fuck you for trying to grab me? No, fuck you out. My like look if I mean what we are all trying to shoot but I take out my gun just place it right on his head. Oh I can take a my oh I'm just like oh take my hand. He clicks it. Yes, guns guns were involved. I get it. Vivi, your friends in high

places I read the Mo fine. It's cool. You know that people apparently I don't know if that's the term because I'm not cool. He's doing this now or two stumps like the electronic pieces where he can plug in new hands. I'll just go to the shop like this. I guess you can. You can you sorry for hand? Yeah. Oh, I will go and inspect the hand for sure. I will take it by the ring finger and try to pick it apart. And see what I could see inside roll, electronic security tank.

You rolled an 18 after scanning this hand that really you find in no, trace the engram or any virus. It's actually not updated to the latest firmware but that's it. I think about it for a moment. What thing a look at the input. What? And I'll give it back to him. Oh, thank you. What did you find out? I'll just walk up to him. I put my hand on her shoulder. Lean into his hand, his fear and Whisper.

I don't want to say out loud to everybody else, but you should probably get your firmware updated. A fuck. I always forget to update the firmware. Yeah, probably one of the reasons why you're very susceptible to this right now. Yes. Could you reattach it? I don't have any hands? Yes. Okay. Here you click it back onto his hand. It's okay. I've got one. I'm going to go buy a new hand, you done. I would have. So I would like to say one thing. I didn't. I didn't burn all of the hands.

I did save one hand. Okay, so you've saved one hand. Do you want to keep it? Yeah. Do we have like a something I can put it in? Hey, do you have any medical storage containers? I do ones that they transport the thing. He said, I do have a case here. Yes, we can use this medical case and put it in there and toss it in there.

Okay, Phoebe. You look at everyone and you call it a medical case and it and you're, you know, you're excited to open up this cabinet, you pull out one of those plastic lunch boxes and it opens I just just a plastic lunch box. It's cold. Is that a sandwich in there? Yeah, that was ignore, that that's old. Mmm. Looks preserved though. That's a good sign. Yeah. Yeah, the most thanks are nowadays. So I'll put the hand in there. Okay? You're holding on to this right. Well, it's your box.

So, okay, he doesn't know how to say. No, he's young and inexperienced. She's just like the intern, okay. She'll carry the case with the pan, right? So should we go to your your Ripper duck friend, or whatever your doctor friend? Or does seem where the breadcrumbs are lying to well to sawtooths. It is choco and a cock, Michelle TV. Do you need a ride? That would be great. I didn't want it in. Impose myself, we have a spare seat. Oh sorry, I'm sorry, it's okay,

still a little raw. Well I would appreciate it if I could catch a ride. Hey, no, latency listeners. It's spoon I pledged a on no latency, but I also produce the brand new show system switch and it's called systems which because every few episodes we take our same beloved characters and throw them into a completely new universe in the form of a new role. Playing game. Will go from steampunk to cyberpunk from fantasy, to

sci-fi from romantic comedy too. Dark comedy from D, and D 2 Call of Cthulhu and everything in between. So join us on our romp, through the Multiverse By searching for system switch on your favorite podcasting app. All right. Everybody out normally this. Okay, no man looks like looks like Sawtooth. Recently pressure-washed is his patio. Well done looks great. Yeah, I get out and I immediately walk in and stand under the sanitizer spray Damn.

I only get two little bit wet but it is mostly alcohol. So it evaporates us they leave. I also know Halloween decor. So I'm a little sad that shot do. Doesn't seem to be in the spirit and you can't decorate. That's unsanitary. Daiquiri. Because you feel better right now, you get plus one to cool till the end of this episode. Nice. Didn't understand like because it because it was incredibly on point. I'm also going to give you a what's the thingy which you give people Nation inspiration.

That's the one. Nice. I'll put that in my gear. Yeah, our inspiration stack but you can't use them twice in the same thing. Cool. Good to know. And you have to take the second value. You can hear cannot take the other one. It is not Advantage. Hmm. Anyway, so you arrived outside of Sawtooth and I owner is Now cover themselves in this Nest, alcohol gel. Well, is it usually is your doctor. Usually a very like, clean person, like overly clean. Oh my god. Oh well, that's good.

Yeah, we only have the cleanest of doctors around Like I said, with a name like Sawtooth, it just seems like some sort of back alley kind of Ripper doc that just like you would think socket. Does it all surgery cyberware. Wow. And he's a psychological. Is he taking interns? It's almost like the crew didn't have a med tech in needed one. I bet he is digging in terms, if you are interested, I might be And you know what? It's all because of Sawtooth that I started going to therapy.

So he's the real deal. Well, physical, and mental health. That's great. That's right. All-in-one. He's a jack of all trades and master of none. I believe I own a cold him. A One-Stop. Doc, damn, that's good. We should wait, like it was a good moment and ended up being the title of the episode. Why I wish I listened to my own episodes are looked at them at all and a lot of man turn into a title of episode all the ships I guess. Yes you have. Yes, I'm definitely have so crazy.

It just might work. Thank you very much. Okay, I'll kill them that's because you said it also kind of get get good, get good. So you're outside sources We going to do I guess I'm I will follow Iona in after commenting about the lack of Halloween, spirit out front. All right, you into the main room and it's pretty clean in here, there is where marks on the ground from over scrubbing on this, linoleum floor. That needs to be replaced. It is clean. It scuffed it occurs to you.

That you've never seen a member of Staff, other than Sawtooth work here. So it seems like he may do everything in the middle of the floor and the other side of a table with four chairs around. It are three body bags, you recognize sort of the generic recognizable body bag of night City but they're not labeled with the mortgages came from body. That has a sofa to your left and a trash can and or doors on the far wall. So I'll do You own are. Well, that didn't sound good.

So I are you gagged terrified of what? Oh no. Oh, where does this sound? Like it's coming from. I walk into the lab. Yeah, jewelry smoked. So do the you and Malaya? Can I boast down the door? Why not? We come back later? What things, what things are you talking about now that you're closer to the door, you can hear. And it clearly through it and he says, oh no, oh yeah. Don't worry. We put it down again learned their dad again. It's alright. You'll put your tokens in that

room. Forming just place where you were. I lightly just video do you know just for like fun? Just for fun thing about that is where you would say you are yes. Okay, so retro roll perception, Blue 19. You notice the body bags move. Oh, shit, where the body bags? There they are, they're stacked in a Macabre pile of plastic, and flesh. And I noticed that they move about like combat shovel and I eligible to, to whack Breaching Claire.

Yeah, I run over and I start whacking a hand bursts out of one of the bags and jumps across the room. Here we go again. I got it. There is a the hand. Somehow screeches to hear scratching coming from the bathrooms. See, that's a first three of you hear something gonging against the door. That's right. Steel-capped boot. Not a penis.

You sing Against the floor. I said, Dawn, and Jake owes the state's if I was in your position Jade, I do exactly the same thing because I heard the dick joke and I tried to avoid its schlong against door, but you hear a thud and a boot

bursts through the door. And then you hear a scratching in the far back Berkeley ER, A horrible lie, clicking spider light, scratching like a really big Angry risky robot and the door bursts open and through it comes this, my carb head is cybertek Skull. A loft with three Ripper blade arms, clicking towards you like a spider as it opens its mouth. A gun appears In its mouth hole. It's scarce get it's time to roll for initiative. What the hell is bigger than the

other ones? Making some weird noises. Yes. I hope you can take them on. Oh shit, it's got one of those brain thingies on it. Yes. Oh God, girl, something else you notice as the battle starts you notice that only one of them has an engram in front of them and that's the skull monster. Wait a minute. I think I know what I have to do. It's one of those. I think we gotta take out that big that big spider skull monstrous thing and then hopefully everything else.

Just counted dad. There was a very good quick. Jab. It was a quit. It was strategy. Not everything I do is worthless, okay? Prove me wrong. Well and I start to at the bottom of the initiative, order the left-hand lunges for lunges for retro. Shit. I got hit with the golden roll. Oh what? And it is is a melee attack if you would like to avoid this beat 3:40, Asia. What do I need? What do I need to dodge it over. 22 know what do they need to roll relation under fighting.

Thank you. Thank you. Jay 19, almost. But it matters manages to grab your arm and little blades and it's Nails dig into you breaking parts of your armor and making a little bit of your flesh. Bleed, it jumps upon you again. I'm Tommy a few shots make this time beat 19. Kind of dead already now you met 1914. -9 unfortunately it's second attack scrapes across the back of your neck. It runs across your shoulders and jumps onto the table is now behind you.

Do you have now taken seven damage and 12 damage respectively. Also I'd like to see respectably the twelve was exploding. Oh Not good. Take a. You take a critical injury? Oh no, I can fix that. It's a good thing. We're at a medical facility. It's true. You feel the bone in your left arm, the radius snap and brabzzz pretty tightly, onto your hand, and then jumps away onto the table behind you taking a critical injury. That means that you now that arm cannot be used, and it is a Not

too difficult thing to fix. It's a good thing you know, a med tech or 22 in here so no record. And you can just see that Retros left arm is not a limp as a noodle just kind of. Oh gosh. Oh, that's horrible idea. It is your turn. Oh, I take a moment and look at the arm and it kind of distracts me for a moment. And then I realized that we're still in danger. So that little hands on the table is concerning, but I am going to take Jabs.

Soooo advice, because he's the boss and I am never forget. A literally everyone's face was like every everyone else in the complete its keep saying that and character that's fucking magic. Yes, absolutely. I mean, technically from our one, our side quest. I feel like Jeb he was your last. It was one of your last employer. Yes. Yeah. Here he was my father. I am going to shoot at the big creepy spider monster with whales at you Josh and I try to

shoot it with my pissed off. Nice work. 18 plus 6, holy ball sack 24, nice work. So holy ball sack is now my became really cool. So nine damage it's really so nice. In damage. You hit a crit on this creature. I did a thing with crits in this creature is I think critical injury right back atcha. Oh no, it's weapons. When they create about just look good. Yes, you the bullet rips into one of the extended Ripper arms and a broken leg.

Nice. One of its like you you actually break one of the heavier Ripper arms at the back. Missing one of the front legs, you hit me. Of the thicker ones in the back and you see one of the servos get hit like a bull's-eye and the servo it spirals out and pieces of it fall on the floor and now this creature can't move as far as actually, one of its greatest advantages. Now is a minus for to move, but also it whales in pain. Diamond is got a single or a double shot weapon.

Great a fire too. Holy moly. So 1616. Yeah, I would say. That's a 15 and I do a webmaster. No. Actually, because you're on the other side of the room. I am pretty far away. You're pretty far away. I'd say that that does not hit. It's there. Your second bullet as the leg finally gives way mrs. As the head. Accidentally Dodges out of the way and it pings off the wall behind them and then sticks into the ground. Yeah, still you. That's 50%. Good work. And I'll give you two thumbs up.

Well done, thanks. You're welcome. Retro joins. In, with these thumbs up I can't. My arm is broken. I can only do what you can only do one. I'm really sorry, retro the creature readjusts itself now with a limp but angry, it's just been shot at from across the room and it's concentration is now on. Phoebe. It's the first person that has ever shot. At this creature is new to the world. They may be slightly towards the room. It's stumbles and decides to

shoot. Its Big Mouth laser shoots about it. Shoot tuned with a mouth later. This is the truth shall gun that hits you this laser comes from out of its mouth sort of hot beam and it's not very Awful. But it causes a lot of heat damage as it burns your armor and any skin that it gets underneath it rolls 11 with damage. As its first shot, there isn't a lot of power and it also role to ones as part of that damage which I believe is probably exactly your armor. It is cool. So we are blades.

Your armor in a band across part of your leg and you see the armor melt away and slide down your leg. Holy crap and your arm is a blighted by one. Wow, that's fucked. Yeah, I'm glad this trauma. Team armor came in handy though. It looks like it's kind of a one-time thing though. Yeah, it's a hole in your arm and now yeah, I bet that thing better not shoot me again. Y'all this thing is not come into play and Vivi is just like stunned. I feel just like kind of like

stunned in in in her. In Her Shoes she just like Frozen. It's gets to do one more thing. Oh now and it's is right next to Retro and it tries to attack him with one of the light rippers on the front of its body dodging, 18 retro and bird says, if not, when I become seriously wounded. Oh, no 21. Yeah, you easily, dodged it nice work. So you a step back as it lunges, one of its Ripper are Arms into the ground and it's Sparks and the head looks up at you. It's clean.

Now that creature is finished. Its turn. Fidel. Yes, Shields and I turn on my to have shields trouble with that your bonus action, this time. This time been dealt whereupon the shield and Dale does it before their turn because you get to burn your bonus and I shoot at the school. Monster cool, you hit with a 21 doing 15 damage, very good. Yes it Takes 15. Damn it, great. And then I I move back towards

Wendell, right? And you step back towards Mendel and then Del step slightly in front of you. You want to get shoot once with that, right? Yep, the monster buckles a little bit more and it falters and it screams it sustains. Another injury, one of its blade snaps in half. Meaning it can't really attack with its front blades anymore. It needs them for motion, and it's now hobbling across On the floor.

Dragging its disgusting. The headed skull body across the floor as its scrapes and leaves marks on the ground. Mmm room. I mean the second foot jumps past and tries to attack. Jeb. Yeah, mate. And I do a little dance. Oh dude, you can beat Ten Mile of Get Down Tonight 19. Yeah. It misses you entirely flies across the that's you mrs. You entirely flies across the room and lightly donks on to the vending machine and lands.

The ground was an avid sound. Because it missed its now out of range of a melee attack and it has ended its turn retro children. Okay, there's a lot of things retro, guys going through their mind right now, I already had my combat shovel out. So retro is going to tear his T-shirt off, okay, and I'm going to use that to make a splint on my arm with my combat shovel. Cool role first aid. Okay, it's not an education. I love that. I love bonus actions. Being like dumb stuff.

You can do in place. It's just so fun. Yeah, that's what's missing from DND is letting you do like a thing? Yeah. First aid, 18. Yeah, you now have your arms. Still doesn't work, your hand doesn't work, but instead you now can swing this shovel around or will hurt you when you do it, when I would like to do because I can't use my weapons because I need two hands, right? Another pistol. No, no oh.look grenades and stuff. But yeah, that really I can't do you pistol.

However, I would like to say this because of The length of the shovel. And now my arm is splintered by it. I can lose my, my shoulders still operable. So I will use my shoulder as if it was like a like a, like a table stand and put my shotgun on top of it and try to use that to fire. Cool. I love it - one. Two hit. OK, you're standing right next to it, so this probably won't matter. Yes, I will go for the giant skull creature.

Wait, you were real right next to it, so it's probably a good idea. All right, Ash, let's see what I can do. Oh, what's her crit one? And then you rolled a 10. So, that's a five minus one. That's a four. It is not a - so you don't Jam your gun, but you do drop it in the process of trying to shoot and you blow a hole through one of the body bags and a human foot in on Cyber Tech foot was in the way and it blows into Visser across the ground. And now there's blood across the

ground. There's a lot of blood stop. Dude, I am impressed with your hearing. Do you want to do anything else? I want you? I will. I'll try to pick up my shotgun. Well, no, I can't give you one. You can pick up your shotgun but you can then cannot move away from where you're standing right next to this creature. I will, I will do the only thing that I would like me would do. Do and dive under the table.

Oh nice. Sure. Yeah, you dive under the table with this like shovel for and do. As you do it it makes a scraping noise and is not as cool as you think it is a little bit and it's vendors. Tran van Del is nowhere near. You know Jeb you watch retro, say little help as he gets underneath the table. It is Van Del's done. What has been doping bundle is going to stay in front of Iona and shoot twice with the A pistol.

What are they shooting? The skull monster that first shot hits sales across the room and it sits Square in the top of the head. It does 7 damage and the creature buckles. Even more the second, hit it Square in the middle on the mouth, the laser overloads and their head explodes. The creature falls to the ground in a heap. Of shrapnel metal and cybertek blood used to Keen to cybertek Alive. There are even do Yeah, I'm impressed the other dismembered pieces of cybertech continue to move.

Well, I guess that plan didn't work boss. No, the big one. Seems the most dangerous. I that was fun. You didn't not getting hurt. Maybe I should have listened to, so no more. Maybe she lives in the germ, or do some Sprint's to Dina, after hearing Rachel, go a little help. Jeb, just runs back and Dives behind the table that Retros hadn't underneath and kicks it over, like an action movie and starts blasting from the other side. All right, at the at the, at the foot.

It's in the corner of the room so I'm going to say as you if that's your bonus action, role Athletics. And make sure it's half-decent because if you do that, I'm going to say as you push the table, the hand flies across the room as well. Nope, you stub, your toe that is a crit one. You rolled to well done, you rolled a 2. As you do this, you manage to get the table over, the hand falls to the ground, as you move

to the other side of the table. Now you and Turn on the other side but the hand is right on the other side of the table and you cannot see it without getting over the table and pointing at it. You can shoot the footnote, okay? And you take one HP damage because you stubbed your toe I say is that is that what Jeff says when he gets an owie? This is the n then fire back. Jesus Christ, 25 nice. Was that two shots? Twister some 25 26 and 25 neither of those are great hits.

However you do hit it for enough damage and the foot blows open and it's pieces scatter across the front of the machine. That will somebody take care of that hand. We can go home please and my home. I mean, actually, I forgot that we were here to talk to salting so we should probably do that first. Yes, I agree. We should do that. First, the hand scuttles across the room to get around the table and it is between Vivi and retro you see it, try and make a decision Iraq six within the tax.

BB my melted armor at speed, U minus 1, you'll be free and it attacks you for 15. Be a 1513 not enough. It grabs you and does 3 damage which only a blades your armor, it grabs, you somewhere else. Not where you had the abrasion from before. Now it attacks you again beat 17. Enough and it causes for damaged your armor. So you lose two points of armor for this, but it mostly just scrapes you and then it doesn't like being on people, so it jumps on the surfer behind you,

it is however, your turn. All right, I see this as a prime opportunity to swing at it as v v swapped from her pistol to her. Baseball, bat she goes, It's Like on her side and behind her jacket. And she pulls it out and just Swing ever at right on the couch and try to have it go flying into the wall and Ice if she has nine. No, I will say you are right

next to this thing. Mmm, I'm going to say you try and hit it against the wall and it just gets smacked against the back of the sofa and falls down a bit to hits with a mellow though. I do on your on your downswing you could smack it down, I guess and I think I'm going to use some luck points in this one to try to finish. I'm just, like, do I have? I'm going to use three luck points on this? Oh, oh.

So you're not in the - you just fully Miss. Oh if you went for that luck, some bad shit would happen to your bat or big. That's how I work. If you're wrong - bad shit happens to your gear. But you actually got three because you put three luck on this well done. So instead you're baseball. Bat hits the ground and you hear the little line underneath you crack. Sorry. This thing is like a lot more Nimble than I thought you see her like just like whack-a-mole trying to hit down on this hand

but keep missing. I don't know if it's your turn, you are watching. VB just miss this, this spider like hand is it scoots back and forth on the sofa. Ayanna remembers that you can short out cybertek with a jolt of electricity. So she is going to attack it with the electric whip to hopefully just disable it draw. You rolled a 13, your whips around the wrist, compartment of this hand, and electric shocks surges down the Whip-It jolts.

It the engram appears for half a second, a little bit of smoke and it falls. Joe Battle Is Over. Who worry Maya? So is this gonna be like an ongoing thing? Should I keep having to shoot these these body parts we better get used to it? Oh my God. Oh my God. I just had a realization that if those are the hands and the feet and that was the head. Can you even imagine what a full ass body would be the boyfriend needs to be? It'd be bad. Yes, we real bad Sawtooth, we've

taken care of the issue, please. Next time on no latency. I've heard good things about you. I'm also a medical professional. How can you help me with my arm? Oh my gosh. Yes, oh my gosh, yes, it was a shovel. Oh, what? Even makes you more sense. Retro vomits, I believe is only missing one hand. I'm always. I'm always free looking for work. Jeb got his engrams crossed over. It's fine. You know, I'm get us there, that's no problem. So I kind of know where this is.

Oh, have you been there? Well, most of us have been there. I live. There is this a In Russian, well, I inspect around the area with my highly tuned eyes. Hey, retro, what the hell? There's a hand in the bathtub taken out a million of these things already. So, what's one more? Could you poke that wall? Well, well, well, you can just lock it. Where's the little lock? Think we could just borrow the door with like all of this

stuff. Yes, I hate to say it, but barring a door, that slides is much more difficult. Thank you for joining us on our adventure once again here at no latency.
