Last time on no latency. We work here, OK? I work here. I mean, I could probably blend in because I'm a doctor. I could blend in. Fresh pee? Is that you? Oh, fresh pee. Haven't seen you in a bit. We're looking to get reliqui passes. Competence. So 1 does not simply walk into this meeting. Put your gun away. There are guards here in trouble. What is our allotted budget? What's? Going on in here, Retro. My man, Theodore, here I'm.
Just going to go ahead and take a seat on the balcony and take a look at this lovely city that we live in. So this is. Another way to get in perhaps? Why is Phoebe outside the? Nothing. I don't know. So you brought in this? I have, actually. Bendel, could you let them in? Wait, did they see me? Bendel, could you could you let them in, please? What? Oh. The at the corner. Oh. Hi, Phoebe. Hi.
Hi. It's hard to hear you because you're on the other side of the glass, but I can hear you kind of going, if you know what I mean. You don't have to act that because I'll edit it in post, but it's nice to see you. Why are you on the roof? OK. And Vendel opens a hatch on the side of the wall, and you can squeeze yourself in through it. Hello. Hi, everybody. Thank you so much for joining us. What a what an interesting route you took to join us in this.
Meeting, Yeah, I am very. I'm in like a extreme adventurous person. So I write. I I'm like an adrenaline junkie, so I like. Field medic, yes. Yes, it helps me, you know, get ready before I have to perform like a big surgery or something, you know, just like a big rush of adrenaline, so and it's. Very, very well dressed person sitting in front of the computer. Now you you look at them and you can see they're not a nurse, they're not a doctor, they are a
medical machine technician. So they're they're normally a little stoic, kind of private, and they're wearing a cybertech mask over their face. Hello. Hello. Yeah, I'm yeah, I'm Doctor BV. Hi. This is my. This is my. Yes, you're you're better friends. Go ahead. This is Doctor VB. Yes. Also, we we we we didn't bring a nurse because Iona here is so important. We have a a doctor on staff, so we. Have a doctor on staff?
That's exactly what I was going to say, because I'm an assistant who's very In Sync and now has to roll persuasion. Oh goodness. It would be really nice if I had opened your character sheet. It would be. Now we have to vamp while you do that. I know, but but you're so very good at that. Vendo. Let's part of why I have you. Whoa. I opened the wrong. Part of your team. me and I. The Doctor, of course, yes. As as you can tell, I have a very very well adept team.
Yes, and we don't have anyone else. We don't have like a hacker or anything, because that would be very uncouth. You really know, I think the longer you look for your sheep, the more I'm going to put my. I rolled. No. I rolled. 14 OK, all right. You know what's The funny thing about being Bendel is I have no none of my own luck but also sky rolled A1. It's not true. You do have luck. It's just not very much. Oh. Cool. Well, we'll get to that later. Oh, you, you you have you have a
doctor, right? Good. Yes, happily. How can I help you, doctor? I'm, I'm, I'm the technician for this machine. The only one we have left for inter departmental accountability. And and selling and receiving deals that don't need to be. I'm sorry, I've I've only ever worked with nurses. I'm really. Oh Sky, Sky, do not worry. This is VVVV is a a wonderful person as well as a wonderful doctor, so it's nice to meet.
You. I rolled A1, so I'm obviously expressing that I'm mildly attracted to you. Here's my hand. Shake it, please. Nice to meet you as well. I've never met a medical technician before. Really. You're a doctor? That seems weird. Biotechnical one, I should say Biotechnica, you know, I I've heard so many good things about the Biotechnica medical technicians, you know, so. We, we have, we have at least 30% insurance coverage quite competitive, yeah.
Indeed. So the the first thing we've got to do is we've got to take obviously a blood sample from the, the, the, the executive. For my owner if you could. Yes, it it gets incorporated into the parts. Oh, so. No one else can use it. Oh, blood sample. OK, very advanced. Yes. So if you could just stand in front of the machine and then make sure to administer a pint A. Pint A. Pint Wait how many how? Many pints of blood are in your blood 8. A pint of blood for this. Pass. A pint, Yes.
No, depending on the human. Actually, VV knows this depending on the human question. Yeah, Jeb, in case you're wondering, a human has anywhere between 5:00 and 10:00, depending on their size and gender. It also depends on how much jobs drink at that point too. So if you lose about 1/5 of your blood, you can shut down and go into shop. So. I Iona's a a pretty normal sized person, the average slice person. Iona's actually fairly strong as well. That's, that's that's Canon.
Hey, what's your? Constitution. For Iona probably has seven to 8 pints I. Mean I. Sorry your body. VV would question like OK. I just just a few questions about this. Where does the the pint go? I mean, if it's a pass, it would just, you know. It the the the blood is separate into several things. Part of the sample is saved here and then catalogue does a digital imprint and then destroyed for security reasons.
And then some of it is used to physically make the pass because it's made of. Blood. I see. All right. That way the pass and the user have the same DNA and so it it it can't be. If it's stolen, it's useless. All right. It's a reliqui pass. It has the person's blood in it like a reliquary, right? Isn't a reliquary like a like holy item or something? Yes, that has blood in it. Oh, it it, we're being, you know, corporately. I see. As a corporation, we're appropriating the witchcraft
like culture without asking. I see. All right. Well, Iona, if you're OK with this. Iona role role Resist torture drugs. I haven't even been in stabbed yet, so if maybe if I could say a few things. Sure. Jesus this. Is not because you are being examined. It's purely out of personal interest. If you would roll it for me. Short talks?
Sure. I can certainly do that if if I needed to obtain several more of these for my team, would it be possible to ensure that all of the excess is destroyed? I feel uncomfortable having that on file somewhere. Well, the the machine. Because of the the the nature of the program, the machine can only create one pass a day and that allows you to have two assistance with you in the room. Because it's. Very small interaction between the companies, so we can't have too many people in there.
That's kind of the point. And while they're saying this to you, they pull out the really big needle and you rolled A crit. Fail and resist. Torture drugs and you look at the needle and it makes you feel woozy. VV Roll Athletics. Are you? Is that going in you? Catch Iona oh. My gosh. Paint. Iona. They're still awake, they've lost footing. I I I've never seen one that big I'm. Going to load it into the cartridge here. The needle pushes in and out really quickly in a stabbing
motion. Oh, about eight or nine times. Oh, Phoebe, could you could you give me the thing to make me not feel things? Yes, and maybe just some cookies and juice or something to get your blood sugar back up. That's probably good too. I I have orange squares for the for the patient afterwards in the drawer. Oh, that'll help. But yes, do you like orange? Because that's all I've got. Sorry. Or Orange will certainly do. I just can I can I sit down?
Yes, by all means. They drag a chair from the desk and they buy and sit you in it. I'm just going to assist 1st. Aid. As they sit down and. You rummage through your bag and you find a mild sedative. We only need one of these, right, Iona? Yes. OK, Chris. If you could if I. Yes, I'll just. I'll just take that. OK, good. And that cost you? Oh, I only rolled one. It only cost you 10 Eddies, Worth and Iona. That means you may re roll Resist Torture. Drugs. All right.
I would like to do that because I apparently I'm afraid of needles. So, I don't know. Takes the pill. It hits their empty stomach, and they promptly faint in the chair. Oh no. Oh no. I was worried about this. Do we? Do we? Do. We continue? I take that blood while there. I mean, if they're so uncomfortable, we might as well do it. Hold on, I have smelling salts. You do? OK, good. I pull out some smelling salts and. Clearly. Clearly, Iona wants to be awake
for the. I don't think they. Should be. Passed out this, this decision has been made when you wake up from the smelling salts in a start, in a chair surrounded by way too many people, we're all around. You are. You OK, Iona. Sorry. Are you OK? Is it over? No. But you should be awake. Why wouldn't you do it while I was passed out? Because I don't think that's healthy for you to be like passed out while just look this way. What way? This way, look at maybe here and
let's. Say have have Vendel roll some kind of performative dance roll. All right. I do like watching Vendel dance. Performity. I dance role. It's no latency. This is the kind of role that we do 11 acting. It's not a crypt fail. It's mediocre by definition, but it's above average because it's an 11. So I can do flossing. Look at me floss Iona. I'm cool. Took me a fortnight to learn this dance. Jesus Christ. Cancelled. Cancelled. Put in the fortnight lake. I'm sold.
Oh my God. It's a distraction enough that while you're not looking, VV can now take your arm, put it in the machine, and position the needle. VV Roll well. Be good. Why do you have to curse them like this? Yeah, I'll. Give you some of my luck so you don't have to use your lock if you want. VV You roll 18. You managed to distract Iona enough. Iona you now have to roll Resist Torture, drugs. You get plus one because Vendel
is doing their little dance. But you also get -1 unfortunately because you did not sanitize it yourself. So that kind of cancels it out. But it's still a mid, so roll for it. I'm not even going to put luck in it. I'm having a good time with my friends. 15 Yes, that is enough. The needle goes into your arm and takes a pint of your blood starts to leave, your body goes into the machine and then sky starts to tap away at the
keyboard. You see a bunch of math and then the machine seemingly starts to glow and gives off a bit of a hum. Bit of mechanical click and out pops in the card with your photograph. On it. Did they get my photograph from my DNA? Where did that come from? Or was it just in the biotechnical database? Yeah, it's your ID photograph. I I just thought I'd ask. Yes. Is that OK? Oh yeah, absolutely. No, that was. I had a professional headshot done that day.
OK, yes, good. Because we'd have to wait till tomorrow to print another one. So this is kind of what you've got. Again, you'll be able to have two people with you in the room and you will find it. I assume. I'm not. I it's this is kind of a cell thing, so I don't know where it is. You'll have to ask a fixer. Sure, we can only make one relic we pass a day, correct? Yes. And there's I I believe that at least for tonight's meeting. And that's all the ones that we
can make now. Oh, interesting. I forgot it was tonight. Thank you for reminding me all. Right. Yes, of course. Shit, I need to keep my mouth shut. Hi, I'm just, I'm just dizzy and that was a really big needle. Yes, and you also lost 6HP. Jeez, can I have an orange square? Will that make up for it? Yeah, eager. And they pull out an orange square. It's like half an inch square, bright orange and looks incredibly processed and smells
of processed orange smell. My. Favorite. Oh, I rolled A4 on D4. You get 4 HP. Wow. Wow. Does that feel better, Iona? I do. I do. I always love having. I know this sounds strange, but having a little orange square is just like a little treat. I can't really have many orange coloured things. It's the it's the citric acid in the colour specifically it. It really upsets my my digestion and so having a little orange
square as a treat is delightful. Yes, especially because inside of the packet it says not to have more than three a day for some reason. Anyway, that's that, that's it. I've got to shut down this machine and I've got to. Now the cleaning process is is lengthily and so I I'll start that this afternoon. When can I? Is it? Is it this process that destroys the rest of the pint, or is that stored somewhere in the destroyed or? The machine.
The. Machine's finished grabbing the machine's finished grabbing your sample and then just, I mean it literally as we're speaking it's it's destroying that right now. And then if you want, you can put. You're allowed to if you want. You've pushed the button that that turns on the incinerator. It's right there. Does this look like an incinerator button? Yes, has a little flame on it. It's cute, see. All right, full fisted smash down on the button.
You hit the button, the machine beeps, and then you hear a little flame and then a sizzle. Again. Thank you. That actually did put my mind at ease. I appreciate you you're. Welcome. Hey, Jim, Do you smell bad? Oh, I smell every time. I I think it was where you smell that, where I could just. I know the hint of Iona's blood boiling. What are you What are you guys talking about? Well, we see. Ever since I, I, I started congesting.
Well, all I can say is ingesting some some interesting meat. I've started to have a enhanced sense of smell, which can come in handy, but it's also a bit of a curse. For instance, I'm fairly certain that blood has been either spilt or extracted in some way, probably within a, you know, 100 meters of soil here. Huh. Yeah. OK, cool. Yeah, it's like I said, wasn't a curse. It's a little party trick to be honest.
Sorry. Well, if enough's lacking off, I probably should clean some toilets or something. All right, Well, you know, it seems that there hasn't really been anything else that's happened other other than hanging out. I mean, I didn't see where the the nurse. Went you see? Oh, where did VB go? VB's back out on the on the outside finishing our cigarettes. Why you have to sneak through the windows again? Why would you do that? Oh yeah, that takes out.
Phoebe, as you step outside, an alarm goes off. Oh shit. Whoops. What? The fuck's that? What was that? Was that VV? Or is that a different alarm? I'm not in this building very often. Oh, I don't know what that is. And then an announcement goes off. This building is being audited. This building is being audited. No one may leave. What the fuck How? Do. You audit the building. There's the IRS. Coming in. What the fuck's going on? Audit OSHA. Audit What kind? Of audit thing.
Oh fuck. I hate these. What's happening? Sorry, what? Sky, go ahead, go, go ahead. What is happening? Oh, the building's being audited. What kind of audit is it? Where the people are at work, we'll probably be here till like 4:00 AM. Doesn't look like you're going to that part that. Great. Vivi, I'm going to, I'm going to step outside with you. Wait, where are you guys going? We have to stay for the audit. What if we? Who says we have to, you know, company?
Company policy. If they asked me if there was anyone else in here, I have to tell. Oh, that's a lot. Why don't you? Why don't you come with us? Excuse me, we're. Just getting some fresh air. I have to clean the machine and the audit. I know I'm in the building, yeah, but if I'm not here then then the audit will say I'm not here and then I won't get go on the blimp. I'll take you on the blimp so. I don't have to lie to them. No, OK. All right. Well, no, rather persuasion. I am.
I'm intimidated, but that's definitely a role that you have to do. Sure, if you really think you need me to roll. Your favorite multiverse hopping game system jumping high production value Actual Play Podcast is Back Systems, which Season 2 is out right now in your universe, Bowler and Hicks have been transported into the science fiction world of Scum and Villainy. Follow our heroes as they try to break out of prison this. Is clearly a cell. I've seen a cell before.

That's always very cool. Catch up on all of season one now, or jump straight into Season 2 every Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts. The multiverse is a strange place. Look at me. Don't I look like I don't belong here? I have a doctor on staff.
Just come with me. Right. 16 Oh yeah, no, that's not high enough. That's a four. OK, fuck it. I never go on adventures. I'm just a big ball of anxiety to play with machines, so I also thought that that was around about where our interaction with them. So there's not really much more that I can do for you, frankly, other than are you outside of the bench of the pseudo balcony of this building? Yeah, sure. I just I I hate lying and I would prefer you not have to tell anyone we were here.
OK, cool. Will you? Will you fill out some paperwork later on to? Say absolutely field. Oh God. Thank you so much, Iona. That's going to cost us like 300 from the budget. If we actually do it. Oh, right. OK, cool. I I am going to do it. It's just funny.
And you will pile onto the outside of the building, and as you're standing on the outside of the balcony, all the way on the other side, you can see Jeb and Retro and Ted now, which Iona, you did not know was here hanging out on the balcony. Jeb waved. Hello. The building's been audited, yeah. Yeah, is there. It's hi, Ted. Hi. Hi. Is there a way that we can get down from here? You could jump. Don't do that. That's that's a big joke this we're we're 62 floors up.
Yes, I just don't want to be here while it's being audited. Oh, do you have plans? Yeah, no, we're normally here to the next day. No, you you should come with us, Ted. What? Come with you boys? Boys. He asked me to come with, right? Yeah. And he lights a cigarette in front of you, trying to look cool. Attitude. It. Flies off into the wind. Oh, oh careful, careful. Shit is fresh with you. No, Fresh is in the is in the the janitor's office. Last I checked, she doesn't smoke.
I I call. I call fresh and your card is oh hi. What's going on? The building's being haunted. I'm just going to wait in here now. I. Don't want them? Nope. We're all on the balcony. Come with us. No, no, no, you're not on the. This building doesn't have a balcony. Iona, I've got a lip. Is there not? Go ahead, fresh. I'm just saying there's no handrail also. What's your plan? What's your plan? When we're on, how are we going to leave? I don't know. I have retro with us.
You'll figure it out. OK, so I come to the belt. Do I have to come with? I work here. I know you do. But listen, I feel uncomfortable having anybody who interacted with us truly to to to leave them here. Oh, I left the I left my playlist playing on on my computer. That's going to mess up my rap at the end of the year. Fuck, I'm. I'm sorry. I'll buy you a new wrapped. It's not the same. Fine, you're my boss, but if you roll anything I get -1 to my behaviour today. Really.
Really. Are you really going to persuade me fresh? Listen to me, it's a role-playing game. Just just being a breath. Just just stick your head out the window for a second before you come out here. Fucking shit. Please. Oh, I will say the guards are now guarding the elevator. I have discovered that by walking by and pretending to go to the bathroom. Oh, hi. There's somebody there. Who's there? Excuse me, You're in front of the vent. Excuse me. Excuse me, man. Retro.
Excuse me? Oh. Retro Retro I only wants me out by using a. Little bit of a deep think right now hold on. Jeez. Oh God. OK, you're always high up. You're right there this is. Scary. I need to roll Resist torture drugs. That persuasion was enough to bring me out here. I will stay, but I still have to roll resistor drugs. Right, the torture and drugs of whatever the technical term for being scared of hot seals. Adrenaline. Verdict. Vertiphobia. Vertigo in general.
I'm just working it out. Really. Mr. Cowboy? Jeb, man, it's nice to see you. How are you? It's always a pleasure, Mr. Pete, I forget. I have to roll that. No, no. We've been vamping waiting for you. Oh my God. I forget that. I control these people. I just have fun playing with them. I'm. Just glad you guys are having fun. That's all I care about. These are wondering. It's a acrophobia. Is it like? Acrobat Acrophobia. Oh, it's gonna be more like. Aerophobia.
No, that's just the scare. That's just scare. Of the air. Yeah, you're just like that. Is not high enough. Fresh vom promptly vomits. Oh, that's low. And it the wind blows it completely all over him. No, now I smell of vomit. I mean, if it makes you feel any better, the wind's blowing so hard up here we really can't smell much. All right, well, you guys figure this shit out. There's literally a bathroom behind me. I'm going to if it's all right with everyone.
This will delay you leaving, I guess. But I'm going to wash. I'll be right back. You know, fresh. Fresh is kind of delightful. I feel like we don't hang out with fresh enough. You know, I'm going to be honest, it used to annoying me, but in just the right amount of you know, as long as you don't overdo it with his company, I think he can be quite fun. What we should probably go over there. Iona. I can barely hear them. Iona, we have to just All we have to do is roll stealth to go
over there. VV you 2. All right. Just one stealth roll. Oh. That's good, yes. And then I also have to roll Stealth because I'm Vendel. Well, that's OK. You said one stealth roll, and I assume that you meant one person. No, because we have to cross many windows. So in Vivi went this way. They actually rolled a bunch of times I think. I did, Yes, that's true. Yeah, you did. And and so to come back, we're only going to have to do one because there's it's like a
group action thing, right? Cool. That's great. So that's 12 and 14 and 17. The the DB was fucking 11 because the audit means everyone's distracted. Says. Everyone's closing all of their windows and tabs and making it look like they're actually working. And this means that some of you move over to let everybody over and Sky is trailing behind and you make your way over.
Now the crew has been reunited on the side of this biotechnical building, literally on the outside of the building on Floor 62. Right, so now you're here. Hello. Hello. Hi. I'm now and we're on the outside of a building. Yeah, what do we want to do? Yeah. What are we going to do? Ted? Ted, what are you doing here? Smoking and. That's what I'm doing. I'm smoking another cigarette. I was just here for a company. Good conversation, good people. Did you say you're a janitor
now? Yes, I I don't. I didn't get to be. I lost my job in IT. Why? It's a shame. Shame. Because how are the kids? It's. Probably from the best. I don't have any children. Oh no, no. I lost my job because I I applied for one and then due to the loyalty clause in the IT department, because I didn't get that job I I got moved to this one. I don't like that. Sorry it wasn't my. You have a go on. Do you have a contract now? Yes, that if you leave this job, you I. Mean. No, I have.
I still, I still get to keep my health insurance, which has been nice. 30% here, you know, very good. Yeah, right. And I'm allowed to like do whatever I want in the janitors room as long as I keep my clothes on, the manager said. But you already had, like I applied to be your, your tech person. That's me. Hello. Right. And I didn't know I was going to, you know, essentially be cleaning up his shit, basically. Maybe we could find you a job elsewhere. But I'll lose my health insurance.
Yeah, but I you know how I like to collect NPCS. Right. Well also you know do do we have we have healthcare. I I have healthcare. I also have healthcare. I do also. Oh, interesting. How is? I just have IT support. We all work for a corporation and and Vivi's done work for trauma team, so that's. Yeah, at least they can give me. Do you, I suppose, think that there's a way that that Ted could work at the bar, like
helping Ping Do I? Do I mean, because honestly, after season one I thought you kind of fucking abandoned me And so like, I never really thought I'd come back And then that's why I like was like, well, fuck, I'm not impressing this person with the IT skills that I have because I managed to let a hand dryer kidnap like a bunch of your friends and and that didn't
look good. In the past as in the past, Ted I. No, I mean the hand dryer, you know, because it was connected to the network and I let it do weird shit. That's one of the reasons why I was fired from being in the IT department security. But you could come work at our bar. I mean a chore, you know, I'm really good with tech, you know, You know, the only the only thing is right. I do my best to try and stay away, but I am a ridiculously
terrified of AIS. They scare the absolute shite out of me. Oh mate, that's some scary shit. Like literally ghosts in the machine, you know what I mean? Like the movie. So as long as you don't have any of those, I mean, like, maybe one would be fine, but like 20 scare the shit out of this one. I mean, I could barely deal with an SI, you know? We do have at least one SI, just one, right? Good. That's. Just one. Good. All right, well, after we escape
this building, apparently. Then I will come find where you are if you give me the address. That will take me less time. You're an IT. You should be able to figure it out. Not an entire IT anymore. Hey, dumb fuck. Hey, now, that's rude. Fresh what I. Didn't I said. We're not meant to be mean to him. He's a janitor. Well. Just because someone has a low paying job don't mean they're not worth the same amount as someone who makes a lot of money. Oh, that's true.
OK, so I mean, I I, I was born in a tube. So there's some stuff that I don't quite get. So apologies, Sorry, I thought we were ragging. Apologies. I feel like I'm extra nice today. No, we'll let you know. We'll give you a a little sign. We'll say, I'll, I'll, I'll give you a little nudge and I'll see now we're wrecking. And then that way you can really slay loops next time. Oh, cool. Thanks Jeff. Sorry, you were saying, Iona. Oh, Vandella, am I being extra
nice? It it might be because you're missing a pint of blood. That feels like I'm missing a pint of blood, if I'm being quite honest. I turned, I turned to retro and I go boom. Nailed it. You got it. So how are we going to get out of this building, guys? We're 62 floors up. Does anyone have a parachute? I mean, shit, we don't even have anything that hovers. I'm a bird and I go and I. And then Sloane just swoops by you and gives you kind of a vulture wink as they kind of
slide and fly upside down. Yeah, they're just doing tricks because they can't really help you right now. They're just flying around being a shithead. I have a hoverboard. You have a what? I have a hoverboard. How does that work? Does that have to? Does that hover a set amount of you know a set amount away from the ground, or does it hover in place no matter where you set it? You know, I haven't looked at the description of it in quite some time, so I might have to take a look.
All right, let's have a look. Let's have a look at the actual thing, because there's this has got stat. It does. It's got stat. We can. Tension Jet Boy Hoverboard. Oh wow, the Tension logo is really cool. In order to go over water, does it need more power? That was that was a that was a back of the future. Oh. That's right. Yes it does. Yes it does. It is that the Jet Boy is a land vehicle with ten hit points and only one seat that hovers just above the ground.
It can always be driven with no hands of the users connected into face plugs. You can make manoeuvres on the Jet Boy. It provides 15 moving combat and has a narrative speed of 30 mph. So it is designed to hover about 3 inches off the ground. And it's able to keep that even, if you like go over a curb. So it creates like a cushion of air. So could that? I mean, it would only work for one person right?
I can get down. But also like, would it be enough to just break our fall if we rigged something? Retro. Maybe I gotta have Hold on. I'm in the middle of like, a deep thought at the moment because this is so serene up here. Hold on. It is very nice up here. Well, maybe I could hold on to Sloan's legs and then at least that gets me down now. Slimming gives you a disapproving look as they zoom. No, you don't want that, babe. All right, all right, girl, this man.
This man. Sloan's wingspan isn't enough to hold you. Ted. Yes. Yo, how often do they clean the windows on this building? Once a month. And when was the last time they did that? About 3 weeks ago. So they're not cleaning the buildings today. Shit. No, it's next week. Why? I mean, obviously I just fucking steal the Gurney to have them go all the way down with it. Oh, right. You mean that one up there like 40 fours?
Yes, that one. Huh. I mean, I feel like we might be able to, you know, go back inside. Go up, yeah. Go away, The way back out. Find someone to fly up there and hit the lever and bring it down. We used to have a flying chip of some sort, right? Well, maybe we're referring to Sloan. Oh, oh, hey, Tell you, girl, did you hear that? You want to be useful again? No. Wow. Is that A? Yes. Can you roll me Animal Handler and Athletics? You'll never believe this, but my Animal Handling is pretty
good. If I remember correctly and I never get to use it, yeah, it's. Because you never justify it. No, no, I didn't know. No shade to you. You can. Use it whenever you want. You can fuck it. You can make it all right 17. All right, girl, you're going to go up there and you see the
lever, all right. You're going to want to take the lever and you're going to want to push it on the down position, not the up position that give like a a real exaggerated like, no. And then down position, I point out. Yeah. All right, all right, girl. And Sloan dives down, grabs a delivery drone that was delivering just a bag of groceries, and brings it up to you.
Oh, OK, Well, and then. Crushes the drone underneath their feet in there, and the inertia of it trying to pull away forces Sloane to shoot up. Really, really far. Whoa. Oh well. Roll athletics to catch the groceries. OK, whoa. And you catch this bag of groceries and inside is a three pack of boost, a packet of Gisner snaps, and a fresh packet of cigarettes. Vivi's favorite? Well, everyone wants some snacks. Oh yeah.
What else you got in there? We got some, we got some jizz and snaps, got some boost and some cigs looks like. Oh, oh, if nobody wants, I'll take the the cigarettes. I mean, I ain't gonna. Yeah, sure. Go ahead. And you also got a plastic bag. That's cool. I mean, of course, yeah. And you hear it and this thing starts to come down the building. Yo. 'Cause you rolled 17 into 19, you did really well. Here you go, that a girl and I give her some scratches.
That a girl. It's a good thing there wasn't window cleaning today, am I right? Well, she probably could have, you know, stabbed some eyes out. And flying flies away to celebrate. Yeah. Good girl. All right. Yeah. Have fun. The only thing they grow up so fast. You got it. You got it. You got to be willing to let them go and let them do their thing or else they're going to resent you. I wonder how many people get freaked out that there's a vulture flying around Night City. Well.
How many films is? This actual real animal, It's. Probably very freaky. Yeah, she's got separate in blames. Oh, I got a different rooftop. As the window cleaner caddy elevator arrives and you all pile onto this thing, now I need everyone to roll athletic. Interesting. Every single person. That's not great. As you all try and get into this thing, you pile on in VV slips and is now hanging for dear life. What? What? Oh shit. Oh VV can. You help please please. Oh my God. Oh my God.
VV Oh my God. Let me help you. Come here. Let me roll for that. Athletics 13. I didn't see it changed because I blinked. That's enough. Oh my God. Here you go. Thanks. Thanks. You're welcome. All right, let's all head down. And Ted pushes the button on the window cleaner elevator and you descend down, sneak into Vanna White, and drive back to the bar. Do we have everyone with us? Black Sky and Ted. Yeah, it's a really tight, it's very tight inside of the vehicle.
This is fun. All right. So where where are we going about? It. I mean, can we just I? Mean we, Iona, Are we Are we bringing them with us? I'm not sure. This, this. They seem pretty trustworthy, but. I'm. Not exactly sure yet. Just for Biotechnic? Yes. Oh, Sky, could we drop you off at home? Where are you? Where do you live? Oh, I'm, I'm, I'm in, I'm in apartment building 7, three blocks that way. Easy. Great. Yeah. Thank you so much for all that you have done today.
That's. Do you want my card? Yes, I do. Here. And then here is my card. Sorry, this exchange seems very awkward. Well. You you made me lie to my boss, so I'm feeling weird. Wait, I thought. I thought that Iona was boss. No, this is Sky. I just met them today. Right. I took my part with consent. A lot of it. A pint. If you lose your job, call me. That's all I have to say. Okay. Jeff. That is a Create -10 and you crash the front side of an away into the back of Skye's car. Oh fuck.
Oh, sorry. I looked. I looked over my shoulder. I thought you got oh jeez. God. This guy gets out and you now see them just staring at the car. Motherfucker, that's going to cost so much money. Yeah. I'm so sorry. I don't have a charge. And you drive. I drive away. Oh, you. Drive away and I mean uncle. What the? Fuck, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I don't have. Insurance. I keep it flying. I I listen. If you need, if you need extra money, I might be able to help.
I need. Someone to fix my fucking car. Sorry to take. Have you been to? Crashed into it. Unless I didn't do that. You don't have to curse at me. You don't have to curse at me. Do you feel bad for that? Because you should. I. Don't feel bad, you crashed. Into my car. I didn't crash. Into your car and you're cursing at me. Well then, look, I'm trying to help you. I listen. Have you ever been to Tunas? I've heard. At the end I saw this guy with a sitting sign. Yes, Go there.
We'll figure it out for you. Say Iona sent me. Say Iona. Sent you? OK, Take my car for free. That's what I'm going to say. That you told me, yes. Then I'll take care of it. That, I'm going to assume is the same thing in the nicest possible way. I'm not sure I want to see you ever again. Thanks. Sure. Bye. Damn, I think we have to do a favour, Fortuna. Now I feel really bad that I told that person to lie to their boss and then just they escape the audit and they're probably
going to get fired. If I'm being quite honest, yeah. Well, yeah, I'm, I'm sorry, I I kind of goofed that one up there at the end. But hey, maybe we'll never see. That you know what you are going to do. A favour, Fortuna? Shit, all right. You say as you drive right over the elevator for the bar and descend into. No latency. Ted, have you, Ted, have you been here before? You mentioned it when we hung out in the last, you know, about a year ago. I knew you had a bar.
This is, you know, it's this is cool. Right. It's a secret. No, no, I know. I remember that. I remember. Remember that this place is cool. This is nice. I like the lighting. Lots of screens. It is very cool, isn't it? Yeah. Now, don't. Stick out, stick near the front door, and you see that he hears 55. What? You seem so much taller, yeah. I know it's the accent. Oh, is that how that works? Really 55. Oh, sorry, I shouldn't slouch.
And he. Raises his shoulders and like sort of cricks his neck a little bit and now he's like 6 1/2 sorry. Now he's 5-6 and A. Half I still. Pretty short. Still pretty short. Well, you know, as as as IT technicians are not, we're not famous for our height, famous for our hacking skills. Fingers. Sorry, you're going to say something to upset me. Guns. There is AI here. Oh God no. Oh God, no. OK. It's good. It's good. Yeah, and then nine bursts through all the doors. What's going on?
I'm from Dave, You for ages. Who's this new person? Hello, I'm an AI. Don't tell anyone. But. I am incredibly dangerous from an experimental. Facility. Program that no one really paid much attention to. God damn, I hate this guy. Oh my, my Lord, that's the ball that floats and talks. That's not. That's the only one. Right. I haven't met them. What? What the fuck is that? Excuse me, just one, just one second. Huddle up, gang. And Domino's picture moves across the screen and huddles
with you. I'm just wondering why? Why are we bringing this guy into the fold? Do we I? I don't know. Iona wanted to. I just listened to them. Is it out of the goodness of your heart? I I just feel like I haven't collected an NPC in a while and I really want to. Yeah, see, that makes more sense. So where do you use the loss of blood escaping to you? Well, I suppose I do. I do like this NASA. I own a little more. Maybe we should I turn over. I turn over to to to Doc.
You think maybe we could start just draining Iona of some blood every once in a while. I I. What are you implying here, Jeb? I'm just saying that I I do, I do kind of prefer this. Nice. I don't know more than the, you know, walled off, Mean faced Iona. Have you noticed that Iona's been smiling more ever since they lost so much blood? I. Don't I don't know if the blood loss correlates with this new Iona, but regardless, it's really not healthy for somebody to be losing that much blood
regularly. I. Don't know, We'll just do it a few times, alright? Iona, you wanna drink? Drinks are really good right now. I just gave a pint of blood, so drinking's probably not a good idea. Agreed, I wouldn't recommend that. Oh, so much better for you. You get a way better buzz. Come on, let's have. A shot. I don't drink, Remy. No as as as their medical professional doctor I do not recommend, but I think Iona you should take it easy and get some snacks.
I feel a little sleepy. Well, you. Will have to get to this smoothie market tonight and recommend the house some caffeine. Yes, or a nap. Well, do. You want to talk about our? Plans first. Oh shoot, Can't you go do that without me some? In. Theory I'll ride. I'll drink some caffeine. And Ping serves you a little neutral shot, which is a drink that tastes like nothing. I still plug my nose to take it. Valid. OK, I'll do some research on the where and the net it is this
evening at midnight. That's the name at Station 08 is used on ground transition. Interesting. I've always like, heard about these kinds of things, like some cool underground place at midnight, you know? The train that took all of the investors has already left. You will have to find a way to get there yourselves. You will need to take the train going anywhere. Well, I guess all aboard, huh? Yes, going to be a night train. Going anywhere? Yes.
Yeah, we heard you the. Facility houses a vault. The vault has some security. And we'll get RAT through it, no problem. I have a pass. Yes, you have a pass to go to the meeting and ingress in the technology. Our. Force The technology will likely be in hundreds of thousands of days. I'm assuming that we'll have to see this. Thing that is true. Well, I'll keep believing, I saw. The wall. Well, Choo Choo motherfuckers. Let's go. Next time on no latency.
I'm feeling bad about about Sloan recently. She's just an animal. She's a bird. We were stuck upon a tower with no way down. And who was it that came and saved us? Sloan. Which, anyway, let's go over that plan again. That's it. Oh, oh, that's the one that. One Wow, this is quite literal. It was right in front of us the whole time. Wait. What time is it we? Got 30 minutes? Not too much longer now. It's really dirty in here. Oh, you kind of smell like meat.
I don't want to have a freak out before we get to the market. Act normal. That's probably not a good idea. No, no, no, no, no, no you cannot. Man, they're really jacking those crashes. Oh, here we go. Why are they standing up now? Sir, Sir, please. You you you didn't mean it right. Shit, I'm kicking them in the balls. You're we're going to patch you up. You're going to be OK. Yeah, it hurts, doesn't it? That guy's having a bad. Day. If we're going anywhere, there's
going to be blood on the ground. If I've learned anything, that's the truth. Thank you for joining us on our adventure once again here at No Latency. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter at No Latency Pod, check out our website at nolatencypodcast.com.
