S2E88 - Zero's Last Stand (Halloween 2024)

With only a few traps and temptations in their way the crew make their journey through the Zeeves trap gauntlet base, hopefully unscathed, traps aren't the only thing Zero has left in the crew's path, something deep and red has been left to tempt one of the crew. With all that this man has done to the crew and the city, will they show mercy?

Can Jeb resist?

Does Vivi know when it really hurts?

Can Ioanna sneak now?

Only the dice will tell.

Transcript

Last time, Oh no latency. Why'd you do that? Did you still like Tracy? I love stealing. It's one of the things I'm good at this. Steve 0 What's his deal? Well, this is the original, the OG. Which is OK. We made a mistake and we we grow and we learn. And everybody makes mistakes. Got what we needed from here. Oh, I can't pick it up because I I need plausible deniability. Do you need help retro? Well, you need to have plausible deniability like other people do all.

Right, so how are we doing this? I know that we're coming. Both me and Vivi have come together plenty of. Time. Yeah, Come on, people. Now we've came. Vivi, what's so funny? Watch out Jab, he's coming right for you. All right, there are traps. Exploded a little early down. There legendary it's the flight starts flung at us from every which way. Oh man, save me. Good roles. God knows Vendel doesn't get very many of them. I'm so sorry.

I don't mean to laugh at your pain, but you're hobbling. Do you need? Let's see, do I have anything in my bag? Well, I did. I think I suffered some like 6° burns. I don't know how many degrees there are, but. I have, I have a Med pack. I'm just going to use that on you all. Right row 1D6. I mean, I'll pay. Phoebe is like no, no, no right now. I mean which part? That's fine, we can. It could be the same. A quick little patch up is fine. It's a quick little patch up.

Four. That's you know what? That's almost half better than I was before. There you are, so I. Appreciate that, hey. Do you think if they eat one of the thieves they'll still heal up? Does that still apply? I would like to not mix body fuels. It's not advised in the in the paperwork. Oh. Yeah, that's might not be a good idea. Unknown reactions. We didn't test for any of them. Very irresponsible. You know what you could do is you could peel off the burnt

flesh and eat that. Like bacon, but also don't. That's gross. Some say gross, some say delicacy. Yes. Also don't. It was the scientist, didn't me. It's like it's like the kid who picks their nose and eats it in class That's gross. Yes. Sorry Racho, I might have missed. Did you check out this this PC? No, I could. I might, I mean you were able to disable the this trap. Maybe you could disable whatever weights for us behind this door?

OK, well, I will, but at the same time, I'd also like to see if I can check the power levels of where the power is coming from. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you rolled me something. I don't have anything labeled something. I'll just do electronic security tech. Oh, crit failed? No, the machine is booby trapped and causes you for damage directly to your health. It bypasses armor. It does not collect $200. That's been happening a lot this morning. Oh, oh, nice oh.

Careful. Damn. It Vivi. I don't think that was good advice. I think the trap was actually the computer fuck. I saw your skeleton there for a little bit. Now I'm sober, fuck. Spooky scary skeleton since Shiver Up retrospine ha ha. Sorry, everybody's getting, everybody's getting hurt. That's OK Vivi, you and I are still at full health. For now, all right, let's go. Says Vivi as she opens the door to the next space. All right, this room, but where are you going? Don't go too far.

It might just set you up the. Bridge No. One's real perception yet. This room looks interesting. Jeb, as you walk into this space, you see a very long corridor that is suspended over a large VAT of water. The water looks dirty. It looks like that's where their waste goes. Looks like this.

Here's Shitter. The a long gangway that leads to the other side of the building over the water as you you roll pretty high on perception there VV near where the door is between these two shipping containers, you can see a lot of blood splatter on the ground that shows a path of the blood going from north to South and then on the other side of the door you can see it go from South to north.

Like the blood came towards the doorway at speed very quickly because you rolled 22. All blood leads to the door. OK, just the next door. Is is that door open GM? Yes. All the way. I can see all the way. I don't know what the booby trap is here I. Don't think I know either. Are they like jumping sharks or? While the blood goes to the door. I mean, like I said it, maybe it's just the shitter. Why would there be blood on the ground? Someone had a bad shit. It's gross. Do we just?

Go. Do we just go in? Do we just run? Just run for our lives. I'm in. I'm running for my life. Everyone roll athletics. I was muted the whole damn time. DM you didn't hear what I said? No, I didn't because you were muted the whole damn time. Pay attention. I said I threw my Cam at the door. It makes no difference, OK. I'm going to use my inspiration. Oh, you're using your inspiration? Yeah. You think you said? This. This yes bitch. Cursed roll 20 hates us, yes. OK.

All right. So Jeb Retro, who else is running? Me Iona. Iona and Vendel? Can I have roles for Iona and Vendel please? There's Iona. Iona rolls of 15. That is good enough all. Right. And so does Vendel. Both good enough. So Retro. No, Retro. Iona and Vendel make it clean to the other side as they rush as quickly as they can to that other side as you're running through the doorway.

As you get closer, Iona, Vendel and Retro, you notice that above your head it's a big large girder held by two big chains and it release it as you pass it swinging from either side like a sandwich towards the door in the middle. You are now in the danger zone, everybody. Oh, Jeb and VV, there is a large piece of metal coming from your North and South and you're going to have to avoid it.

Here's the thing VV, you're lucky because normally, normally you'd have a hard time with this on your own. But luckily you have Jeb and I will say you get plus one purely because Jeb reacts to this, which helps you react earlier. But Jeb doesn't get a bonus for this just. Shit and then evasion, yes. Evasion. Yes, please, just just VV and Jeb avoiding this trap because it's it's they're the only two people in line. All right, Oh, oh, oh, that's too literally, I just rolled it.

OK, I rolled the one that was less that was less. That's powerful. I thought it was going to be yes, very good. Jeb, you rolled A24 with evasion and VV. You rolled a 16 + 1 thanks to Jeb's reaction time, and you managed to both drop to the ground and jump through the doorway in time for these two big pieces of metal to fly over your head and slam the area shut. Wow. It would take you a few minutes to get past that if you were trying to escape. Oh my.

God, there was too close. Jeb roll resist torture drugs that. Was. 16 isn't good enough. No it's not Jeb. For whatever reason you can't help yourself. You are now walking S you're now in this space and you're walking South and you can't help it. You're walking towards the door. You all watch Jeb kind of like lose concentration and start walking towards the door almost zombie like. Oh. My Jeb. Jeb, Jeb, where? All right, Just all right. You have heard though.

You smell something. What's what's? What's you smell something? You smell something really, really, really good. It's given your tummy. The Rumblies, Jeb. Jeb Commence. Jeb follow his desires. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I'll be. All well, no, because he's going to walk directly into a trap. So we should make sure he doesn't get any more hurt because he's still burned badly. I'm going to follow Jeb all. Right. You follow Jeb. Jeb, does anyone try and stop

Jeb? No. No. If I see something very dangerous, I'll try to stop him, but for the time being, no. Steve Zero knows that Jeb's a common. Jeb, you walk into this next room and even you know what you smelt below you is a huge VAT of blood. Oh my God, that is fresh. Is it fresh? It is fairly fresh. It's more biomaterial for cloning, but yeah. Oh, that's, I mean, goodness that it's nice. That's that's all right, Jeb, fill my tummy. What? Oh no. The the no no. This is. This is a lot.

I mean, yeah, it's a lot. Jeb, Jeb, we don't have a lot of time in this arc. I'm going to have to pull you along. Don't drink the blood. Don't drink the blood Pool. I'll. Just. You know, just kind of cut just. Jeb, we can't mix your drugs with different drugs. Yes, Vendel's right. I'm going to roll brawling and drag you out of this room. I mean, I could just jump in for a real, just real quick and I'll be right out. Jeb, we're not pulling. A Willy 19?

Yeah, Jeb, you're not. You're not getting away from that. You like, you like Vendel too much to fight back with a 19. They drag you through the room. Yeah, Shit. Don't. You're not allowed to jump into huge vats of of of what looks like human blood. Next time, if we have a little bit more time, we think that'd be all right. Yes, fantastic. This time on no latency, you're not jumping in a pool of blood. And you all step into this next room and it looks a lot more like a barracks.

All the other rooms look like they were prepared for you to try and get you into certain spaces. Jeb, you did roll high. You didn't roll a crit, so you couldn't ignore it, but you rolled high enough to actually exhort, ignore the blood, but still be interested in it. You're convinced by your friends and you come into this space, and now you're just in this room with everyone else.

There are some beds on the ground, some lockers on the walls, and you can hear the distinctive tone of Steve Zero in the next room. If. This were like a a fantasy world or perhaps a a digital game or or a brain dance of sorts. You would think that this would be like the short restroom. Do you know what I mean? Yes, I mean certainly take a little snooze if that's for your imply. No Deb. And you get clipped across the back of the head.

Is there anything in that in that gosh, what do they say with those things called? We got so many of them vendors, are there lockers behind you? No. Of a vending machine. Are these vending machines or lockers? There's a vending machine down here at the bottom of the room. Retro. You walk right past it. It's next to Jeb. See near the sofa. Oh, I thought there was a a kitchen stove counterpart. The the the huge big thing that says vend it on the on the top of it.

From up, From up top? I think that looks like a sink. That's what all the vending machines look like though. Everyone seems. To come across. No, let's move on from this. Let's not make, let's not make binary like feel weird about his art and have to redo it. Let's keep going. I mean, I don't know, I feel like we're, we're, we're just very on on track today. Well, let's I was there anything dependent? We're just. Are these, are we just going?

In did you check roll roll 3D10? Fine, I'll run over there and roll 3D10. DM while they're doing that. Are these lockers here? Yep. Yeah, I'm going. I'm going through those. Cool. Roll me a perception check 16 Yes that is good enough. First time I knew the vending machine there. Yep, Yep. I own it. You find a double pack of boost, a another Taser boy gun on sale for 250 eddies and a car battery. Boost. How much is that? It is a double pack for $45.

All right, I've got I've grabbed it you. Buy a double pack of Boost for $45.00. You have two beers. Here you are, Jeb. Jeb. Oh yeah. These are for you. They. Make you do things right. It's a beer. Oh, Oh my God, I think I yeah, I had these back at the the roller. Boost. No, it's a boost. Oh no, it's different. But it's good. And I only gave it. To you SO. What do you say, Jeb? I mean I. It does something though, doesn't it? OK, good. It does something. I don't know what.

It does. What does it do? Oh. My God, I have. Two inspiration. You used one. You used one. Yeah, for the duration of primary effect, the user's intelligent increased by two points. This can't raise intelligence above 8. If you fail, it's ADV 17 for boost. I thought it might make you were. Thinking of Smash? I was thinking of. Smash I was thinking of. Smash. Oh well, you can have these beers anyway. All right, I'm going to the door. Shall we?

You rolled perception for the lockers, yes. Yeah, hold on a second. I I got a pilfer through these lockers first. 16 Oh, so you look around the lockers. Romy 3 No Romy 4D10 please. Oh. Wow. That's a lot. Your your perception was pretty low so you only find 4 things in here, but they are pretty cool things. You find a pressurized fuel can. OK. And a paint gun. Paint gun A. Paint gun. A. Paint gun 2 pressurized paint cans and a pressurized fuel tank. OK, fuel cans have full.

Yes. OK, cool. Well, I got I got got me some paint and I got me some fuel. All right, I'm going to think of something to use with these later, I'm sure. OK. Oh, I don't know why people just have them in the lockers. It's weird. For painting stuff. Clearly. Maybe they're artists. Who knows? You ready to breach and clear Jeb? What colour is the paint?

The canister lets you choose what if there's a a ring that clicks to choose primary colours and you can use the two cans to mix colours together and that's how you get any all you want, but it will use both cans if you use a non primary colour. OK, I. Just made that up and that's what. So you're outside the door to this next area and without a doubt, without any need for a perception check, you can hear Steve 0 on the other side complaining to something. Breaching clear.

Breaching clear. You're not looking, you're just blowing in. Yep. I mean, Oh. It's locked. It is locked. Please roll for bleaching. For bleaching clear. Please roll for breaching clear. Just throw bleach everywhere. Hey man, you got any ammonia? It might help. Can I have Vendel kick down the door? Yes. Tactics, jerk. Oh dude, you've not rolled tactics in forever. And so I love the choice. Tactics. No, but that's not that's interesting, my guy, that's interesting.

Did you drink the Boost? Yes. No. Oh, it's just beer. Yeah. He's he drank a beer so I need you to very quickly roller. Is this torture drugs check please beer 17. It doesn't matter either way, you get the effects of it for the rest of this, so you'll just have to 13. All right, so Jeb, during the Halloween party later, you're going to get very, very drunk on Boost because you want a lot of it. It will wear off eventually, but you're going to get fucking

drunk. You unfortunately cannot resist. You grab the Iona's other can and finish both beers on your own. So you could. Hey, wait. Oh, I was going to drink. That and you now have see, The thing is, is that boost boosts what? Intelligence. It boosts intelligence and tactics is an intelligence role and boost increases your intelligence by how much Jeb? 1. Two, that's written, yeah. So instead of rolling a 14, you've rolled a 16.

And one of the things that you get with your tactics as the door flies open, because Vendel kicks it open, that's already Canon, is you see into these rooms before anyone else does. So this will give you a + 1 to your initiative as you jump into the room. Just shoulder it open. The timing's just good, man. You step into the room, everybody jumps in to try and get to their positions, and you see Steve 0 facing one of the biggest Z Steves or Zeves that

you have ever goddamn seen. He is fucking huge. Oh boy. Like upsettingly so. And over one of his shoulders he is carrying this really big Wrecking Ball, which he has grafted to his other arm so he can swing it around. He has no mouth. It is replaced by a speaker that looks like it was pulled out of a Honda vehicle from like 1998. That's very specific. Love me those those Honda Accord side.

Species. I like that he's wearing Jordans. Now stop shouting, I know they're on our way and it's your job to kill them. I've put like 17 zeves into you so if you fail this we're probably all bucked. Wait, are Zeves people or I mean, because the way that you said that just then made it kind of sound like. Oh. So I was trying to understand. What? Was that what? Nothing. Oh shit, are they here? No, nothing. It was nothing to worry about. Does anyone want to say anything

else before? Do you want to do anything weird before combat starts? Sorry to break in on your menage Moi. Hey, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. Menage, Moi and. It's not really good. You're full of shit. Stop saying you all suck. You kept me in a room for ages. And then the dumb guy who meows a lot, he unlocks the door. I told him I needed to go to the bathroom and I fucking left. And we're going with that. He was a. Stranger to me. Fuck it.

Was his name stranger? Shut. Up. You know, Steve Zero. You made your escape. You could have gone anywhere else. Could have been free. We would. We had no idea that you. We had no idea that's true. And So what you've done now is, I believe, closed the Ledger. Now, one would say you've been demonetized and your services are no longer needed. And they come around the corner. Taser. Oh shit, are you distracting him and tasing him from behind? Damn straight. What do you think?

That menage name? That menage name? Wasp. Brilliant. No, no, that's really cool. All right, Iona, if you want to sneak around behind them, I'm going to give you +2 to stealth because of Jeb and Vendel and Retro, you are on your own around the back corner. I mean, as per usual, I'm doing a great job of being a distraction and very little else. Yeah, that's 15. That's enough with that distraction.

So you make your way behind Zeve while he's paying attention, behind Steve, the only Steve here, as he talks to Jeb and Retro and argues with them, assuming he thinks that combat's about to happen. I wonder if it will. Good question. And you're you're going to tase him from behind. 0. Holy shit, Tasers are different That you don't don't worry about damage. No, I'm serious. They're very, very different. All right, so that's a Taser boy.

You're coming behind him. That's three D6 please. 3D6. That's 10 + 5. For the sneak attack that is 15 I know and you get 2 attacks with that weapon. Oh. Would you like to get taste again? ZAP, ZAP, ZAP. Hit him once and as he's falling you're just like, do it again. That's that's an 18 Excellent work. Really, really great roll ME3D6. Those things hurt. Thingy I. Don't like? It oh 13. He drops, he drops below half health and falls to the ground and goes prone.

Well. Get him get to the stem and and eat and them. He's just pointing around now. He doesn't know what to do. He just he can barely see all. Of them. I'll let you all do one more thing. Otherwise, combat starts. I'm going to yell the receivers N, the receivers, the receivers N there's one he's he's in here. He's out to the north. We should, really. Is this one? Last. One. No, we got to get it. We got to get it.

We're all for initiative. Folks, welcome to dungeons and Randomness. Since 2012, myself and an amazing cast of 18 have been telling stories in our home brew world of Theria. Four different groups explore lost ruins, run for political office, Rage Against a mad king, set sail to long forgotten islands, and so much more.

Every group has a different story and flavor, and every season or Ark has a new set of groups and stories, all building the history of our world with every single session. Literally hundreds of hours of stories are waiting for you as part of the Pickaxe network. Check out Dungeons and Randomness wherever you get your podcasts and we'll see you around the table. Oh, you're saying that's your last one? Well don't worry I can make them re retired. I don't.

Know was that good I. Felt I didn't have anything. Good, good enough. Go. Go for. It OK, OK. OK, try something a bit more Halloweeny next time, but. Good, yes. Thumbs that's that's. Gradian Anyway, I'm going to shoot them. Jeb. Yes. You fire off your guns. Yeah. First shot, Beautiful. Cascades through the room. You rolled a 24. It's actually pretty hard to hit. Who are you? Who are you shooting at? Well, the the the transceiver of course. All right, so that's 123456.

He is very far away. And you, you don't do enough damage. Oh shit, I'm sorry. I should have ran up to him. You should have ran up to him but just not a lot and your second shot is bad. Worse. Yeah. Yep, Yep, that's a crit fail. And so it misses and plings and tings around the room, and because it's crit failed, the bullet returns and grazes your leg and you lose 1 HP Ow. Ow much? One HP, it is a it is a metal room. My going ricochets are going to happen. It it happens.

Do you move any further because you only moved to three squares? I mean, yeah, I want to move up to him. All right, good then. I just do it. Nice. I take a couple of steps toward the chain, Steve, and I am going to take a shot. You're ugly and I took a shot. Pull up this San Rue, San Rue Hello Kitty Ultra Kate assault pistol and with a little spin for glam as I am still dressed as Danger gal. Yeah, it's time to go down. I thought it was not cool.

It sounded cooler in my head. It was cool though, because you rolled a 24, it goes straight across the room hit this hits this guy for 12 damage and because you rolled so high that's a good that's crit damage. So he gains an extra 5 damage on top of that a blading his very little armor because he doesn't have a lot of it. The chain from his body jingles as he moves forward, as he moves it forward into his hand, ready to attack you. You shoot again though VB, don't you?

I do. Oh no, and that's a crit success. More crit damage. Holy shit. This is a crit success because you're on a crit. The last one was a crit success because you rolled over 24, but you also rolled over 24 this time as well with a 25 causing 15 damage in total. Sorry buddy, you're not going to last much longer. And that takes him even further down in health. Nice work VB, are you going to stand there?

Yeah, I'll stay where I am. Cool great there's a Zeve with a games console for a face and he is not happy that you guys are hurting his biggest bro and he pulls out his shitty heavy SMG which is literally what it's called and he shoots Jeff. Don't. Hurt Big Papa. See. That is a auto fire crit fail and you only get to shoot that once. So he tries to shoot you and it fails and he crit fails so the auto fire function on his gun breaks and he can only do one thing so. He's not happy.

You know, he's very upset and it's Vandel's turn. Vandel is going to take the TV head from my bag. And. Skate slash super jump on to change Steve and stick it on his head. That's such a cool idea. Yeah, I like that. That's really fun. Yes, Romy? An athletics check and a brawling check. All right, all. Right, that seems simple enough. Simple enough. Because it's within range. What's that, 123? Yeah. Athletics go ahead, go ahead. Computer, go go ahead.

Go ahead, get down. Click the button. Yeah, no, it's fine. We can we it's OK if we wait a few seconds. If you want to roll these with actual dice, you are welcome. No, I can't do that. For Cycle Funk, it's too. Real. It's. Too. Real we're. Just waiting. As well. Yes, you should. Yes. Athletics 14. Yeah, that's pretty good. But Brawling 22? Holy crap. Balls.

O2. All right, Well, yes, he's not good enough for that Evasion. Vandel makes it over to the chained Zev, kicks off the big machine behind him and shoves the box over his head. He is now essentially blind. He's waving around this chain and Vandel has to roll Evasion. Leave Asian. 19 Yes, Vendel narrowly misses the big ball. He doesn't swing it over the chain. He just palms it with one hand and swings it where Vendel was. But Vendel is smart enough to take a step back and avoid the

attack. Oh. Shit very good, Vendel, Very, very good. And the receiver tries to run out of the room, only getting to one of the doorways. Let's see, I wanted to ZAP Steve 0 again, but but I'm going to, I'm going to move over here and ZAP the receiver. Zip. ZAP. Zip. ZAP. Zip ZAP are you? Tasering this guy or just killing him? I'm tasering him. OK, because it does. Damage, right? It doesn't cause death. 21 yes that hits roll 3D6 for me. Oh. Goodness, what isn't it All right 3?

D6O greatest fucking terrible damage, awful damage. And you caused just a little bit of damage to this sieve. He he is, he is slightly damaged. Did you do anything else? Yeah, doesn't do a lot wrong. Wrong gun, but I can't. I can't switch. Can I do something that has a rate of fire of two? You you can switch to something as a rate of fire of two. This means you can't use your super crime because it is a fire, a rate of fire of one. Yes, I'm going to use the R.E.M.

Ware. Yeah, that's fine, totally. And that's in rules, dude. If you have a rate of fire 2 weapon, you can use one for each. There's no rule that says no. Yeah. Wrong gun and I use the R.E.M. Ware. Oh no, this gun is broken. You try, you try and fire your R.E.M. Ware and unfortunately it misses ricochets around this room. You rolled a crit fail. It's only a -, 1 crit fail. It's not a huge crit fail You you slow the bullet down enough that you can roll evasion as it

comes back towards you. Oh. Goodness, look at me dodging bullets. It's in fighting. Yes, my computer's just moving slowly and I can't get to it. There it is. 15 yes yes, that is enough. You avoid a bullet and it shoots over you towards the the Zeve in the corner and we're going to see if it hits him no. And this Zeve that cannot see somehow avoids the bullet rolling an 18 on evasion Iona. Good turn. Steve 0 manages to use his entire turn to get up. That's all he gets to do.

He tries to move away from a few of you towards a transformer in the corner of the room. You are awful I've I'd have better quips if you haven't fucking teased me. You rather there attack them. It's your turn. Attack, Attack, attack. Them up and at them. Yeah. Up and at them. And the this other Zeve goes and tries to shoot oh this is bad metro with an auto fire shitty SMG. Now here's the thing guys, yes. OK, all right, This is one of the first times auto fire has actually fucking hit.

I hate auto fire. And it has hit retro. How much health? Do you have Retro? 31. Cool so with your armor ablading this by 11 you get hit with 21 damage. Hold on. So the Z boy rolled at 20, which means they get times 3 on their on their damage roll, they're old an 11 which gives them. 33. 33 -. 11 is sorry, 20. You take 20 damage and your armours are bladed by 1. I'm almost at 1/4. Yes, so you take a critical

injury which doesn't count. You break a finger which is not really a big issue for you because it is cyber attack. Your mirror doesn't work until you get it fixed. Yeah, they just Riddle me full of holes and the. Shatters your finger mirror, Yeah. It shatters my finger mirror the the raincoat I have on turns pink all on the inside from the blood spilling out. Now, everyone else has seen Retro get shot many times, but only VV knows when things are really going to hurt VV.

You know that he's taken far too much damage. Retro is not in a good place. Oh. Man retro, you're do not take any more bullets. Retro's taken so much now that Retro is brain locked. The sweet suffering. Oh yes, as I'm bleeding out, I'm just going to look at the chain Steve and go. We have such sights to show you and I will launch my rocket attack from my K tech hammer. Oh shit, oh shit. Whoa. Yeah, that hits holy. Bloating Dice. BM. Yeah, oh, that's a lot. That's a lot of damage.

What the hell even is that? There's something. You've seen this? No. No, he's used it before. He's got a rocket launcher mounted to his K tech. Oh, my God. You fire a rocket across the room. Now, here's the thing, guys. No unrolled perception. No, the machine that's sending out the signal it's behind the chain guy and you've just called the chain guy to explode and retro being hit by this huge amount of damage. I would argue you're fucking grumpy and you fire this rocket

through the room. It hits the chain Steve as they turn around to swing the the chain ball around on their turn because it's their turn next. And as they are hit, the ball loses its direction, flies behind them and smacks into the machine. Sparks fly everywhere. You Jeb, You hear the signal ring out and lose cohesion. It starts to have a wobble in the air and then it goes silent and all of the thieves in this room drop to the ground.

Death machine controlling them is gone and the only person left in here is a bleeding Steve 0 on his knees. I thought I could take you out on the one day you always try and save this fucking city. I feel like we was. Meant to be your death day mother fuckers. I feel like we saved the city plenty of times on various holidays and celebrations and days of the week for that matter. OK, zero. Yes. You've opened Pandora's box. I have. We came.

But you're the good guys. You're going to, you're going to, you're going to be, you're going to put me in your basement. Now you're going to come with us. What? Not this time. Oh, now you're going to come all. Right, Jock under the face, I'll say aye. Oh my God. Oh my God. Well, I wish we. Could just go good guys, you're, you're, you're here to, you're going to save me. You wouldn't do the horrible horror thing at the end of the Halloween. Trick or treat? Next to happen.

Oh, no latency. Who needs patching up? What's up first? So true. They won't let you out of the hospital until you poop. No, I'm fine. I'm fine. Stop the car. Yeah, yeah. Good night, Sir. That's all I need. Stop the car. Oh my. OK, this is a lot worse than I thought. OK. We should. Probably take me in rat dog and. Somebody help me lift him. Going to take my jacket off and lay it over to me. I'm a little. Shook it. Drive faster, Jeff, I'm. Going as fast as I can here.

Try chase the dragon and you just can't seem to catch. Stop, Stop talking. Oh my God. OK, All right, everyone careful now. Don't put a. Finger in the hole that hurts more we're. Almost there. Because. Clearly I can't help you. So fast. Oh. Boy. OK, OK. Losing more blood? Let's let's, let's get them out nice and careful and get them in there. I'm going to have the surgery, might as well. I'll get the gloves. Well, go retro. No, no, Remy, Remy, no, there's. Your dragon.

Come on, stay with me, Retro. I love murder. Here's the thing about murder. Love it. It turns out we were the bad guys all along. No latency has gone truly dark. Excuse me, I think we were.
