NL: SideQuest - JUNK WARS - Pt2 Build-A-Punk

Episode Transcript

Last time on no latency side quest.

Did you purposely make me show up to the beginning of the junk round?

You know.

V is my other best friend girls.

Night, Declan D Danger.

Friend the V is a friend of the band.

Need anyone to scream?

Where we go now?

The D stands for Danger.

Are you me from the future?

I'm so short.

I'll do all the heavy.

Lifting.

You talking about it, not you from the future.

I have no idea how to build cars.

TT's on mechanic.

I'm actually looking for a team.

She's really good at with the tech stuff.

Coyote, thank you.

Just in terms of team name, it's not great.

Can we change that?

What do you guys think?

What about the VB villains?

Hey, Master.

I'm in love with him.

Something.

I knew you.

Were going to ask that.

Would be badass with the robot.

I don't know yet.

Support you as long as you're making decisions that don't put yourself in harm's way.

Awesome, got.

About half an hour before the salvaging starts.

So grab some shit, get ready, I'll meet you on the other side of the wall to the West.

Wait, all right.

Are we grabbing shit?

If we grab shit now, is that not considered salvaging?

I mean, I guess, but the salvaging of the actual junk yard starts in 30 minutes.

We got to buy stuff.

Maybe we should like get to our spot and like plan out a junk knot.

That's a good idea.

We got what, 1/2 hour to try to come up with general ideas about how to make this thing.

Yeah, well, don't we?

Don't we have eddies to buy stuff somewhere too?

We have 2000 eddies, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Let's spend that.

What if we just.

Didn't.

Drinks instead.

Coyote wants to get messed up.

Or yeah, or something else.

What if we spend it on some fun?

Stuff.

Well, maybe.

Everybody else drunk.

Yeah.

And then they wouldn't be able to make as good of a thing.

But wait, how?

How long is this first section of the game?

We have 30 minutes until salvaging.

Yeah, but how long does salvaging last?

I don't know.

Forever, I hope.

2 days.

2 days.

Yeah.

The old Trump thing probably won't work.

We can get a head.

Start unless we did it again the next day.

That's what I'm saying.

Listen, listen, let's just see what there is to buy first.

Because maybe there's nothing good anyway.

Yeah, you're the expert, Teensy, so whatever you think would be good, let's.

Take a look.

I got a question for Teensy.

Yeah.

How do you feel about a rocket launcher?

Oh, she loves her rocket launcher, that.

Would be sick.

Why do you have one?

Did you bring one with?

You, but I I just assume it's a tube, right?

Put a rocket in it.

Like AT Shirt Cannon, I got one of those.

I have a T-shirt cannon.

We probably could put some rockets in it.

I have a lot of tight eyes.

Shirts give me out.

You get a tube, you you could probably find some.

Is it Chew 2 at this point?

Yeah.

OK.

You find like an old Chew 2 with, like, you know, canister.

You fill it up and then you shoot it out of the tube at another car.

Yeah.

That would be cool.

Are we are we allowed?

I haven't.

Are we allowed to attack each other?

Jab.

Is that like part of?

This it's no holds bar.

I mean, you can literally do anything.

1.

Race starts before the race.

There's a little bit more, you know.

Decorum.

The junk master doesn't like to keep things too messy before the race, but once once that firing gun goes off it's no rules seems.

Like one of the other teams broke your partner's leg though?

Oh my God, hold on a second.

Are you telling me that you think that was purposeful?

I don't know, but I've seen worse of my years.

That was definitely purposeful, right?

Well, you guys are just now bringing it.

Up.

I thought you knew.

I listen.

I thought it was an accident.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

We just got here.

Well, don't you think that's something we might want to, I don't know, look into, Yeah.

Both you go look into that.

I want to see what I can buy with this money.

Guys.

Turn on.

What about?

This thing Let's go.

Let's.

Go there are vending machines around you or you can head to the shop I'm.

Going to go to the shop first.

Shop.

Sure, head on inside.

But that's his bar.

That's that's his bar.

Inside you see some people waiting, and a a sort of very lithe tall femme standing behind bulletproof glass, sort of sitting, leaning against her hand as she stares at you as the door closes behind you.

Yeah.

Hi, I'm here to see what I could possibly buy for this race inside here.

That's a punk knot.

Yeah.

All right, well, we've got rockets, ammo, AP ammo, explosives, chassis, engines, you know, cover, glass armor.

We've got catapults, combat spikes, metal cage launchers, junk turrets, a mini gun and a rocket launcher.

Rocket launchers.

So much.

How much is the rocket launcher?

1000 Eddies.

Wow, that's.

Crazy.

We can get 2 right?

You can put 3.

In a punk knot.

We only have 2008.

Well, it's.

I have a bunch of.

Buckets are not cheap though.

Oh, you're right.

Hey, 18C yeah, I'm just wondering.

So right now we're just starting with a floating platform.

I'm, I'm going to be honest, I really all I need is is Oh yeah, they float.

It's not out of ground.

No, no wheels.

I mean, unless you want to put some on there, but I don't think they're real necessary.

No one told me this is going to fly.

Is it?

It's more of a harbour.

So is it still a land vehicle or is it?

Yeah, a vehicle.

It's.

Considered a land.

Vehicles on it though it it might be able to get some lift.

I I, I I.

But then.

Too, You got to jump with those Gulch if you want to win.

Or survive.

On a scale from like 1 foot to like 10 foot like how high does it hover?

Like 10 to 15.

If you're a good mechanic, maybe you should get it higher.

Well, she's the best.

Some rocks.

She's the best.

So what?

What?

What kind of stuff is in the vending machines as opposed to here like.

Go to go and check how random the GM did lots.

Of preparation, right.

OK.

Well, is there a limited supply of your supplies?

Yeah, I've only got 1 rocket turret.

If you can find another one in the junk, that's on you.

I've got 1 mini gun turret.

I've got one junk turret.

I've got 1 metal cage launcher.

I've got one.

Go on and on and on.

I've got one of everything.

Right, OK.

Yeah, yeah, Sock, can you stay here and look scary and not let anyone else buy stuff while I go and take a quick look and see what's in all the vending machines?

Absolutely.

That's what I'm useful.

I was.

Just going to say maybe look for a steering wheel or some way to control it.

OK, that's all.

Yeah, that's smart.

Let's go out of vending machines.

So it's in there I'm.

Just going to like try.

And.

Run by and see what type of stuff is in them.

Right.

So outside there are three vending machines, one outside the office, 1 outside the bar, and one behind the bar.

Which one do you want?

Well, the one you said, there's one, of course, the Office 1.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So the Office 1.

Here we go.

OK.

Oh, water.

You find 4 items in this vending machine.

Roll me AD four.

OK, D4.

In Cyberpunk.

Oh yeah.

OK, so you roll to 2 and that gives you one extra item.

Now it's more water.

It's a.

Lot of machines, a lot of water.

Oh, I've heard of this.

Called.

Drinking family beverages.

Attires.

Wait.

Coyote, are we, are we going to like need a lot of water?

Or is this like?

A red herring, because it's not like we.

Think like we need water, but maybe we don't.

I mean, like I, I know that you can like cool tires with, with fluids, but I say if we're flying, we probably don't have tires.

There is a skill chip.

In there though.

Unless it's like a steam punk.

Maybe.

It's like a steam powered.

Machine.

Or maybe it's just 'cause we're in the desert and it's hot.

And we might need one.

What's a skill chip?

I don't know what that.

Information.

Skill chip requires skill.

Slot.

Will improve any skill up to plus.

3 Get the edge.

On your opponents.

With.

This new piece of cyberwear.

They bound you some.

Humanity loss may occur up to 1D6.

But that's required because saw as a therapist.

So how, how, how long is the race again?

How much time?

It's it's however long it takes the first person to run the half mile, but it's.

Not like it's not like days or anything.

No, no.

It's like, OK, I got it, got it.

The salvage stuff is 2 days long.

Sure, sure.

But in in terms of the fiction time, it's like 5.

Minutes in terms of fiction time, like it's a good, it's a good five to 10 minute race.

Are there any other like when I was in the bar earlier was there a like a water fountain?

Is there any way to get water?

Are people drinking water?

Are they just drinking beer and alcohol and this is the only water?

They're just drinking beer and alcohol.

You don't see anyone drinking water, no.

All this water, then everybody.

Would be.

Really dehydrated by the time the race starts.

Or, or let's hope our our our punk not doesn't break down in the desert and we are with hot water.

I'm running to the next.

Vending machine to see what's.

In that one, what's in?

Another one.

Roll me one.

Roll me A this time roll me AD 6.

OK.

More water.

So much water.

Rolling 1D6, that's more water.

It's three items more water.

Cool shades.

I like the cool shades.

What's boost?

Boost is a drug.

It's a drug.

Oh.

Freaking you freaking me.

Anti drugs you're so scared to do everybody they're.

So scared to do drugs in any game we ever play.

Crazy.

Because we boost cyberpunk the users intelligence.

Increases by two points can raise your intelligence about eight points.

You can just think of it more like Vyvanse.

This one increases your intelligence.

Let's go it.

Also dehydrates you a lot.

Yes.

Water I.

Think we leave the boost but take the water?

We might need to get at least one.

Water at least one you never.

Know, but I just.

Want to do what?

There's one more vending machine.

Hold on.

Hold on, hold on.

Why?

This vending machine is a medical vending machine.

But there's more.

Water, water, cigarettes and water.

OK.

The medical vending machine has cigarettes.

This one it sounds like the least helpful of them.

Guys, I don't know what to do, OK?

There's definitely no wheels, she didn't say there.

Are any wheels we'll?

Look, we don't need wheels.

We got a steer.

Not wheels, steers, Oh.

Oh oh oh, steering wheel.

Sorry.

Yeah, that is one wheel we do need.

That is one wheel salvage truck.

What is it the?

Most important thing that if.

You don't have it the the.

Vehicle will not.

Move.

After the.

Tech, so I don't know.

Yeah, but yeah, but you're the.

Only one who builds cars so I think it's up to you.

The accelerator.

Pedal that.

Was true.

The guy in the banana shirt walks through up to the counter.

Well, we've been bullshitting for too long.

Leans on it.

I want to buy the mini gun.

Excuse me Sir, my friend, she's in the bathroom and I'm saving her spot.

Well, while you're waiting, I want to buy the mini gun.

I'm going to have to tell you the back up.

I'm not going to ask, I'm going to tell.

Oh.

Roll the face down, motherfucker.

What's your reputation?

Cool plus reputation plus 1D10.

OK.

You are a rocket boy.

Your reputation is 5.

My cool is 8.

Pretty cool.

19.

No way we meet.

Interesting they kiss now.

Do you want nothing to happen or do you want to re roll?

I want to re roll all.

Right, hit me.

What?

What?

What would nothing happen to even look like?

The conversation would continue as not.

As good.

So what'd you roll?

Oh my God, it's 15 again.

Yeah.

No way.

Yeah, that's funny.

All right, so you meet with this guy, he kind of looks at you, I said.

Get closer.

And then I said I'm buying the mini gun.

How much is it?

It's 1000.

That OK with you Jim, I'll.

Give you 11104.

Oh fuck.

Roll trading or persuasion?

Saw his intelligence 3 by the way.

He doesn't.

Know how to hack?

Yes.

His haggling is AII he got.

I was able to purchase the thing.

What was it?

Persuasion.

Persuasion or trading?

Where is trading?

Is that education?

It's in social.

Social.

Got it.

So.

What are you doing?

Trading or persuasion?

I am doing persuasion.

All right.

It's.

Not cost more than that motherfucker, he goes.

Oh no.

Oh, so I was going to the vendor.

He he told the shopkeep that he'll pay more than 1000 for it.

He asked first.

That's fine, you can take it.

I'll just RIP it off you punk knot later on.

It gives you a cocked eyebrow, passes by you to this hole in the wall.

The chick disappears from view as she pulls something from a cabinet behind and pops it through this wall socket and then it is a compressed and folded in mini gun turret for a punk knot.

This guy picks it up, walks out of the building with it under his arms.

As soon as he leaves the building, oh God, teens, he's going to be so mad.

I left that guy.

But the new best friend he's.

Going to melt out of the corner.

Oh no.

Rock back and forth.

Wait, was that a mini gun?

Even asking, but we didn't want that though, right?

We wanted a rocket launcher.

So that that's that's fine, right?

Let me go right.

Can I, should I, would I roll my land vehicle tech to kind of see how much knowledge I have of what might be the most important thing to make sure we have?

Absolutely do it.

Player day doesn't.

Know anything about?

Cars and his feelings very.

22.

22 The the the Junk Run run Purchasing at the shop is not the only option for parts.

Contestants can find free parts in the junk pile and trade with other teens freely.

Advice Keep an eye on your punk knot.

Sabotage is common.

Punk knots for the competition have a face prebuilt by the himself.

Contestants show them metal by installing editions.

Chassis are up and sought after in the competition as they increase hard points for turrets.

Knots.

Knots can be added for a speed boost, extra engines for more acceleration, combat spikes for more defensive and offensive capabilities.

A junk catapult is popular with the crowd.

With this, anything can be MO Tumbled wire launchers can even hit the highest floating targets filled up with explosives to surprise your opponent and delight the crowd.

Make sure you have ample armor for the trials and opponents you will see in your run to jump.

OK, guys.

So we're going to be able to like find a lot of stuff in the and I'm going to find us a lot of stuff.

But you think it's really important that like I don't know the quality of everything.

We are calling it junk.

So maybe the chassis and one of those junk turrets could be cool because because it'll fire any trash we have.

Thoughts.

Feelings.

Whatever you want, Bestie, as long as I can paint the punk knot.

Oh yeah, you get to paint the whole thing.

Should I start working on matching T-shirts for us?

Absolutely.

For sure.

All right, cool.

Luckily I brought my portable tie dye kit of.

Course, you did never go anywhere without that.

I'm going to be honest with you, I think we might want to forego any sort of a tech option from this race.

And I figure we put all of our dice into by dice I mean all of our money and design interest.

Eggs is what I was looking for.

Thank you, my idioms aren't so good.

The eggs are super rare in.

The basket, yeah.

I think we put all of our eggs in the go fast and don't get hit aspect of things.

I don't know about you, but I feel like shooting people is not going to be the way to win this race.

I.

Think get ahead of people.

Measure like if we start getting attacked, can we just attack with like our own weapons?

Do we get to ride with our own weapons?

Like can I fire at people?

Yeah, yeah, you can have to carry your own weapons.

You can buy ammo from me, any guns.

I can sell grenades and stuff.

I'm envisioning a a hovering platform with a box on top with a steering wheel.

See your construction area.

OK, I'm going to buy the chassis thing.

Big box that goes fast.

That's all I'm saying.

Miss Miss Teensy.

Yeah.

A guy came in and he bought the mini gun turret and I couldn't stop him.

Oh that's OK, we weren't talking about wanting that anyway.

I mostly just wanted to make sure none of the like car parts stuffs and the rocket launcher didn't get bought.

You're fine.

No, just just a mini gun turret.

OK, well, that's all right.

You tried.

You did your best.

And we we were both he was really cool and I'm, I'm, I'm really cool.

You're.

Definitely cool.

And we like got face to face and our chest touch.

Whoa.

But he was just a little bit more persuasive than I was to the the the the lovely merchant here.

Oh well, saw it's important that you tried and I appreciate.

That so you're not mad?

No.

That makes me feel better.

Great.

So that chassis thing?

Yeah, you got a chassis from my best friend here.

It's.

200 I have one left.

OK, here you go.

Cool.

And then?

What you want to?

See I.

Really like the idea that that Saw and the other guy had their chests touched because that's the furthest part out from their body.

Your spine is crazy.

Oh, yeah.

No, no, no.

It's just the.

Size of those pecks.

Yeah, those puppies.

Chunky pecks rose ripped.

OK.

And then what was the like tumbleweed bomb thing?

You retire.

That's the metal cage launcher, which is a turret.

So with the chassis, you're adding a turret point, you're adding a hard point.

You can have three.

On a punk note, the metal cage launcher is a is an object that looks like tumbles, these big metal balls.

And if you can find some explosives and shut them inside, they'll do extra damage.

Got it.

Well, guys, I just feel weird not not like using the money we were given to spend.

Like it seems like most of the things we can buy are weapons.

But Jebby, you're saying?

I think I've been fast working it.

I mean, that's cool.

Excuse me, Miss Muchen, do you close after the scavenging starts?

No, I don't.

Oh, that's.

Such a good question.

Yeah.

No, we'll we'll be open again tomorrow morning.

We're afraid you can sell us junk, etcetera.

I thought this was like a whole you can.

Sell her junk.

Cool.

I think you saw that clears up so much.

I appreciate that.

We'll get those.

Page launching at 600.

Do you want to wait till tomorrow?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

All right, bye.

Bye, have a nice day.

Bye.

You guys, I'm going to be I'm I just want to say something that the the regular crew that I run with we're usually like really kind of at each other's throats all the time.

There's a lot of interpersonal drama and you know we don't always get along real nice, but teensy saw Coyote Declan.

I really feel like all the positivity here, it's, it's really going to lead to something, right?

Now I'm actually not there, but I am.

I'm standing right behind you, but I just I have my arms are full of water bottles water.

Bottle.

OK, so you've spent there was 6.

250 or something, yeah, I don't know.

Going all late on our station not.

Yet, but smart.

Very smart.

It's 150 eddies, thirsty like.

Right now, but like, soon, you're going to be thirsty.

I thought I'd say.

Anybody thirsty?

I'm going to say later.

I want to say it that's.

So.

And also when we're in the punk knot and you got to go pee.

Right, we'll have an empty.

Bottle.

Yeah, yeah.

Smart.

I'm so glad.

I'm glad you appreciate our positivity.

This is why.

This is why BB's always hanging out with me and Teensy is because we love my.

Really good.

Time.

I know I'm real happy to to have more of you around, see?

I mean, even even that Declan like thing, being considerate and thinking, thinking of the whole crew with a little bit of water.

I mean, you guys, I just, I really feel like I'm making some good friends tonight and I want to win this thing.

Not just not just for the West Wind pack, not just not just for Rave and Norman, but for us, you know, sense of pride for what we can do together, what we can accomplish when we're just a bunch of friends.

Doing it for VV, doing it for the love of the game.

I, I appreciate that and I appreciate you.

And you know, Night City, it's Hard Out Here.

It it doesn't cost a thing to be nice.

And also, you know, $25,000 is pretty good.

And also the $25,000 is pretty good.

Are you ready to rock?

More importantly, Are you ready to roll?

The junk master is standing outside the last of the bays guys are.

Late.

Sorry.

You're over.

Here, and he points over to the east.

As you step forward, you look into this mechanics Bay and there's a pretty nice set of mechanics tools.

There's a barrel of tune and a punk not resting on the ground.

Good luck that floating base.

Thing.

Thank you.

Yeah.

This big thing, all right.

Well, we've got we got the the beginnings of a hell of a cart.

Why don't we get to it?

Well, let's see if, let's see what this thing can do bare bones.

Jeb walks over and flips the switch.

All right, Jeb, roll for it.

Roll for switch flipping.

Land vehicle tech, basic tech, anything like that.

Control 30, so good six.

You wrote a Crit 36 and you turn the key and you hear that and it stutters and you look at the crew and you turn the key back and it makes that Ding, Ding, Ding noises.

It's been the control mechanism has been pulled out of like a Honda Civic.

You turn it again and the thing roars.

And as it comes up, because you rolled A Crip, as it comes up, it actually rises to about 15 feet off the ground, about 5 feet more than you expect.

But you managed to step nicely on the platform and now you're standing on it in front of everybody.

Cool.

She turns on excellent.

That that's kind of the main point, right?

Like that?

I would think so.

Honestly, I'd be a little disappointed if it didn't turn on.

I'd put us at a huge disadvantage.

Does it already?

Have a steering wheel?

No.

You turn around and you look and although it is hovering, it has no steering wheel.

It's a negative no steering wheel.

I don't going to be honest, don't even see any way to move this thing in any way other than to its regular floating this part here which.

Is probably steer it if we just all stood on one side.

And lean to the right.

We all move to the other side and lean to the left.

That's good.

Yeah, I'm just going to go take a swim in that jump pile.

Guys.

You you keep brainstorming.

OK, I'll start going to need a steering wheel.

I figure we should maybe split up and do things together, but separately.

I don't know.

Oh yeah, I am going to run after one of those robots and tackle it.

I'm so excited.

Teensy, you're looking at a giant pile of junk.

Do you go left or right?

Straight.

All right, roll perception.

You fall onto a pile of trash, open a fridge, fall forward and the fridge closes around you and you're now stuck in a fridge.

Well, she wasn't kidding.

Can.

Anyone.

Hear me, should I?

Should I get her out of there?

Yeah, probably.

Oh, all right.

Oh, maybe don't see I'm coming.

Don't.

Don't suffocate in there.

Roll a check to open the fridge.

It has fallen on the door so you have to lift it up.

Oh, that wasn't great.

Oh, that was really bad.

Yeah, yeah, that's that's not, although it does beat the normal task of just picking something up, which is a nine.

So you do pass, you lift up the fridge and open it, but because you do not roll very high, you gain no extra loot from this situation.

Damn.

Man, that is much roomier than a suitcase.

I'll tell you what do.

You live in a suitcase.

No, but there's one time I locked myself in a suitcase trying to help the team and it did not go well.

You say as you pull out a baseball cap that says my mother's favorite.

You whack it on your head.

Yes.

Does anyone else want a role perception?

Hey, Declan, you mentioned that you thought that maybe rave, you thought maybe that Norman getting his leg broken was a was it deliberated attack and I thought.

Yeah.

Maybe me and you, we could go investigate.

That revenge.

Well, I don't know if we don't know if we need to get revenge, but yes, that would be very nice.

I do think it's a good idea if we scouted out the other ships to see what they're doing.

We'll get some.

Oh, someone should make sure no one sabotages ours though.

Hey, big guy.

Yeah.

Do you think maybe you could just kind of stand right there and look and posing?

I can do that.

What is the like the, you know, the laws like if someone comes in the house and you can let them down or.

Stand the ground laws.

Yeah, yeah.

Is that is that count for like a little Bay here?

I'm no lawyer, but but Coyote, I feel like you might know something about that.

You look like you're a learned person.

Really.

That's I've never heard that before.

Just just look at the.

Look at the five of us and ask yourself which one looks the smartest, Declan.

Teensy, it's.

Just 'cause I'm old, but I I have been around to know that there are no rules in the.

Desert.

Yeah.

I think that it's crazy that you're worried about following the law in at all.

Well, well, the junk master said that we got to behave before the Yeah.

But if someone else starts it, you can finish.

It if they come into the Bay, can I gun them down?

And behavior is a part of a spectrum.

Behave I would.

Say.

I like.

That.

I would say definitely be threatening and seem like you are going to, you know, take them out, but if they run away, you don't need to chase them down and finish the job, you know?

I'll just revel.

Gore Grinder here.

And he slaps his forearm.

Yeah, just like walk around the the base of it and just look crazy, like a crazy person.

I I can do.

That I can do it.

Easily.

You put your guitar case down next to the the punk knot.

So, so remember that you're a rocker boy, so you wouldn't necessarily have to do this yourself.

You could use your rocker boy skill.

I can, I can.

Is the is the punk knot floating at the moment?

So that that thing is pretty fuel efficient, I imagine.

So I'm just going to let that thing run.

It starts to pop pop, and as you look over, you watch the fuel gauge plunk down half a Oh God.

Well, a full 8.

Run over, turn it off.

And it sort of lightly lands on the ground with a kind of a metal third.

Well, guess I better look for fuel too out there.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm not going to lie, this punk not kind of looks like a stage.

So I'm I'm going to get on top of it.

Cool and.

I'm.

I'm gonna tune this to drop D and I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna play some riffs while I got this thing.

Cool, Do you?

Are you gonna roll Charismatic Impact?

Yeah, he's just gonna start rocking out because he does have.

A.

Did you upgrade your role?

Part of me.

Did you upgrade your role as a Rocket boy or did you keep it at

4

4:00?

I kept it at 4:00 because it's it's the level times 60 for your your your role.

Correct.

Yeah, Yeah, it's expensive.

I did not have that many.

Right.

But I do have a pocket amplifier so he doesn't need like speakers or anything, he just plugs his guitar.

Right to his little.

Pocket amp and yeah, he's just going to start rocking out in this Bay and see if see if he gathers some some fans that like a little neo death metal.

Cool, do it roll charismatic impact.

Oh.

You go to play and one of your strings snaps and smacks you in the in the eye.

Roll 1D6.

Snap string hurts so bad.

It gets caught on your sore arm.

Oh fuck.

6 HP damage.

Oh my.

God.

And your eye needs mild medical attention, so you close it and now you have lost depth perception.

And in order to fix that, you're going to need to buy a medical kit.

Hold on, I got some water.

I'll put her some water.

Water on it.

This will help.

Get it.

Pull.

Pull it in, Kyle.

Oh my God.

Nuts.

But no one comes to you because you don't even start playing.

That was not very cool.

I'm.

Embarrassed.

For Jeb, I think we should get out of here.

We shouldn't.

Stand up.

You.

You.

You, you, you Go on.

I, I don't.

I want to be.

I don't want to be.

Noticed.

Right now.

If you want to see if you have a spare string in your various pockets, you have to roll under your luck on AD 10.

Otherwise you're lying my.

What?

What is my fuck?

What if I fail?

Then you just don't have one cry, all right?

Let's cancel the show.

Why not you?

Just happens a lot.

Is it AD 10 correct?

Yep.

Throw 1D10.

An A string.

Like is it?

Is it meats or beats?

It doesn't work.

It's meat.

So meats in below, yeah.

Fuck my luck is 5.

Yeah, you, you, you pat yourself over and the one string you're missing is the one string string.

Oh, you, you have a gig in a few hours, guy.

I know, I know.

It only amazed.

Me.

You don't need voice in the sky.

You only.

Need 4 or.

It's a guitar coyote.

Nice.

Base you.

Play like a bass and it'll be fine.

You only need it.

One balance.

I'll look for strengths.

I'll look for strengths.

I'll look for strengths.

All right, Coyote, do you roll perception?

I can if you'd like me to.

Yeah, we're not.

Yeah.

We can roll some dice in this game 18.

18.

18 I got a baseline perception.

So as you're stepping back from the terrible music, you discover that there's an opening in the trash to your West, and it sort of snakes in and to the right.

If you teensy, you see Coyote start to step into the trash.

Following, there's an opening to the trash to West.

Teensy.

Oh my gosh.

Coyote, let's go.

Let's go.

An opening in the trash.

Hooray, I'm right.

Behind you, you've got better perception than me.

All right, head on in.

We head in.

Oh, so true.

I forget there's a map.

I'm here.

You step into the trash and you guys watch them disappear underneath this giant pile of just crap in the middle of the area and there as you step.

Through the trash.

Coyote and TNC to the north you see a a pair of of the robots that haven't seen you yet.

Roll stealth.

Oh.

My.

God, stealth, yes, seriously.

19 and a person who roll perception.

Wait, what?

Roll perception.

Also perception and stealth, yes.

OK, both of us.

Yes, OK.

19 stuff.

Oh, I explode.

So perceptive.

So that's 27.

13 S of 17 perception.

With your incredibly awesome crit, you see that there is a person under here and they're lying on the ground with a black eye and then next to two bots that haven't noticed you yet.

Because of Coyote's great role, she has enabled you both to stay undetected by the robots, but there are two in here.

What do we do?

I don't know.

OK, what if we just.

Sneak up.

Really quietly and then jump on.

Next time I'm no latency side quest.

What if we shoot at the same time?

There's two of them.

That's cute.

Maybe we should focus fire.

Is going to be so exciting.

Did you find like a cake in the trash or something like that?

I wouldn't believe that.

You know his his ass is not as succulent as it used to be.

All that good loot in there.

You must be using an ass tub.

So much good loot.

Oh my gosh.

What?

A rush, you see.

That was amazing.

You were so good.

Thank.

You.

I feel so cool.

So we have to win.

My livelihood depends on I'm not.

I don't got many shots.

Left you found a mini gun.

I found a mini gun.

They sound pretty dirty.

Best friends.

Which one of you zoners broke my friend's leg?

You 2 have fun.

I'm gonna watch the punk knot.

Thank you.

Yeah, let's go.

Jesus, Metal Cage launcher won't need this.

We can shoot it, I think.

Hey.
