Hello. This is Pumpkin Perrier director and producer GM and perhaps a replica.
If you enjoyed the podcast, please make sure to rate and review it and
head over to table story dot tv for our extensive library. Thank you for
your support and enjoy You think they got us that coffee yet? I don't
know. I thought it was like five minutes ago. But I can go
bother him and see if they got it yet, if you could, just
real quick, sorry, thank you. Sure. I ducked my head around
the corner and I yell at some intern Oh what was the name of the
interne that was like obsessed with you guys? I did the coffee? I
can't remember, but it's that guy can. Yeah. It was something ridiculous,
like he had chosen a name that was so close to Galen. Yeah
that's right. So yeah, I want to say it's that guy, so
just so we can all picture that in our head, it's him. Sure,
yeah, excellent energy, just that decision. Yeah my bible, Kaylen
whose name I don't know, and ask him to check on the status of
our coffee order. Okay, well I will be, I will be.
I keep trying to make like a like a fire. You know in my
hands, because I just feel like I can't get warm. Well. I
think our first plan of action is probably to start checking camera feeds. I
think we've got to look at every every possible direction after Electric Dreams, anything
that had anything connected to a terminal of some sort. We're gonna have to
go through that. And it's I don't even know if we should start at
the beginning, because who would stick around? Right, He's probably gone at
this point. So I say we look even further. I say we look
maybe ten twenty blocks away. Hell, just search the whole goddamn. It's
yeah. I've got a couple of ideas. We can look into any building
that pulling it's pulling a similar power draw to Electric Dreams web, but to
find a similar facility they have elsewhere in the city. Wow. Yeah,
Now who can we call for that? I forget. I haven't talked to
Scott in power since wow, probably since the blackout. But maybe maybe maybe
I can give him a ring. He might know what's up. Yeah,
I mean, anyone that you can tap. I mean additionally, I have
a device I recovered last night that I believe has the information on the whereabouts
some members of the underground that the device was damaged, so I would need
to work on recovering the information. WHOA, Well, how you want to
go about that? I? Uh, what what is what does device?
What does the device look like? Narrator? Oh, so Kia is pretty
top the line equipment that you have, and after the blackout most everything is
analogue. Now, what the book says in terms of that time period is
that people started using etched like actual etched crystals where data would be stored,
which I think is really cool. So why don't we say that this is
a damaged crystal reader potentially that is already set up to read the crystallized disc.
Now, before we think of like etched crystal as in probably you know,
an actual crystal like in Final Fantasy or something like that, but I
think we need to be thinking more like a laser disc or like a CD.
Yeah, so it's something like that's flat like that and then it's completely
etched and that's how you're going to get your information. So let's say that
the device that you have is something that would connect to this disc allow you
to read it, but you don't really have you would need it to be
paired to the disc. So this specific item does need to be repaired.
But it's small, about the size of your palm. The disc is and
the device kind of latches around it, almost like a clamp, almost like
a bike tire. How you would have a clamp latching onto that. Yeah,
I placed the device on I assume we're in Selma's office currently. Yeah,
yeah, I placed the device on the desk and gesture to it and
say it. I don't know exactly how many names and faces it has on
it, but I'm going to guarantee at least four or five maybe more replicants
this. I mean, shit, I don't even know if I know where
this would fit. Narrator, Where the hell am I supposed to put this?
That's not should do a good question. You should like, I don't
even know how to how to run this. Uh, this also might be
a built problem, but I'm gonna go ahead and roll and see if I
can figure it out. Yep. So that'll be any sort of tech and
uh, you can have advantage because you have the you know there was recovered
in the way that it was recovered. Okay, so advantage and you said
tech, okay, Okay, Well I think you know exactly what this is?
What? Excuse me? I mean, hello, that was a four
goodness gracious, okay, but I get this ball wrong. Exactly what I
want to know is why you know what this is that intrigues me quite a
bit. Well back in the day, and now I'm talking back back back
in the day. Uh, my grandfather owned a farm, and when I
was a little girl, I would go to this farm and it was just
it was magical. But you know, after a long day with working with
the animals, you're like, ugh, I kind of just want to go
inside and I don't know, look at a screen or something. And and
he had piles of these just piles of them everywhere, and they had the
silliest little things on them, like like checkers or or you know, like
a little little moving pictures that were just like, oh, this is this
is fun, you know. And it was like, I don't know,
for some reason, it was just he just had this collection, all these
collections of him. And I was like, well, Granddad, why do
you have these? Why do you have all this? And and he he
he didn't even blink. He was just like, well, this is this
history, all this history right here. This is history, okay, And
I thought, oh, okay, okay, well, well well I will
I want to make history. I'm gonna make history someday, so this is
part of it. So I think it was probably that that just stuck around.
You know, you remember the shape because you remember what shape you want
to be eventually, so I just know where to place this thing and it
kind of like fits into a little elk there it is. So I was
wondering if the computer had one of these. That's funny. It was hitting
a way down here. I'm sorry, I'm still recovering from that line.
You just dropped because you remember the shape you want to be? What Okay,
yeah, okay, So I think you know exactly what this is,
and I think that if you want to try to fix it, Sawyer,
you can use Selma's direction because she knows almost exactly what it is, so
you can have advantage on, you know, trying to repair this. But
essentially, Selma, what you would understand is that these two items have been
specifically paired together so that you cannot kind of like those passcodes that we get
now, those like thumb drives where if you lose it, good luck,
you're not getting in your shit anymore period. So it's like that if you
don't have this working piece that is attached to this disc then or this crystallized
disc, then you're not getting the info. So you would need to you
know all of that. You know, it's probably got a bunch of very
important data on it. But question this is just so that me and the
audience know. This is the first time, like Sawyer didn't tell Selma how
he got this disc right, just out of curious Nope, nope, okay,
all right, just wondering. Okay, cool, cool, cool,
cool cool cool, all right, please continue. So I guess it just
it fits goes right in. Look at that amazing there's probably definitely blood on
it, right, so or did you clean it? Yeah? Yeah,
I think I think so. Yeah, there's yep, I think, and
I want to volunteer that you probably, I mean, actually maybe you don't.
I think we should figure out does Selma know that Sawyer brought a dead
replicant in last night? Well? Does she not know? I guess I
do now. No, I probably would not have that information. Yeah,
I have that information. I think what I wouldn't even know. I would
be so out of it that I wouldn't have even noticed there was blood on
it until I looked at my fingers and I would say, what the hell
is that looks like blood? Uh? Huh? Is it yours time?
Mind? Blood? Okay? I got this off a rep last night.
Okay, all right, okay, where's the rep now she's in the morgue.
Okay, it's in the morgue. Okay, Oh, narrator, what
day is it? What day of the week is it? Sorry, I'm
still recovering from that cold ass where I can response. Let me check the
timeline here. Okay, we were on day twelve for SWAT, which means
we are now on day thirteen, September twenty one, twenty twenty three,
which means, oh, dear god, we just had this happen last year.
Hold on, I'm pulling up my calendar. I'm asking if I'm not
sure what day of the week. Yeah, I'm looking right now here.
I realized what you were asking me, and just this once aecond twenty one
is Thursday, Thursday. Bless it. I can't even call Wendy. Okay,
I I hesitate for a second. I just collect my breath. Okay,
will you tell me what happened from the beginning please, is in how
I retired this rep? Yes? Is it longer than I think it is?
Because if it's more than a five minute occurrence, Lawyer, I'm gonna
need a lot more information. Oh God, Okay, I knew this replicant
from before the Act passed. We didn't really have much of a conversation or
relationship in recent history for obvious reasons. Kay Olden gave me a job to
do. I figured it would make sense to start with a lusenda should've tied
off a little while ago. That took some guts. I'm proud of you.
You're not just saying that. I don't just say things, sawyer.
I know just in case. What I will say is if we are going
to continue to be partners, this is where you get that last chance.
Okay, you need to be forthcoming with me. I believe in second chances,
So I'd like you to be truthful, the whole truth with me from
now on, no matter what. Let's look at it as a clean slate
from here, because I have told you everything. I think that's more than
fair. All right, then let's move forward. Do you want to bring
this information to hold him? He's replicants? Once we recover the information.
I guess we can decide what to do with it from there, but I
assume he'll want to know. Okay, well, eventually we will need to
disclose all of what we know to him. At this point, I'm gonna
have to look at it as things I do not know, so that is
not something I will report. I'm not sure where our first sector should be.
But let's see, narrator, can you tell me what is on this
uh this device. I'm gonna I will try. We need a recovery from
you, dear Sawyer, just to fix the device that's attached to the crystal
A tech. You can, yes, but you get advantage because uh Selma
had an insane role in identifying what and how this works and functions. Okay,
well, this, this, dear audience, is why I did not
have it be roles versus tech versus delth et cetera, et cetera. Okay,
this is why I did the PvP the way that I did. My
Lord, Okay, yeah, you fix it, you fix it. I
will tell you. I was going to say, let me just double check
my notes here. That was another four yeah, madness, madness, Okay,
so I was going to say that there are fifteen names on this list.
However, because your role is so incredibly good, Sawyer, would you
like more names on this list than just fifteen? Than just fifteen? That's
right? Say yes? How bloodthirsty are you? It is what I want
to know? Was there another option for like using that? Or is it
just more names? If if desire? I mean you rolled a four?
Do you have a do you have a counter offer, my dear bloodthirsty blade
owner other than just like more details pertaining to like where they might be?
Yeah, okay, you more concrete information. I'll give it to you this
way. You rolled a four, You're going to know exactly where these people
are. What I'm asking you is how many of these people do you want
to kill? Essentially and any that we find on this disc probably no,
I know, But how many do you want them to be? Because originally
I was only going to have fifteen? But if you want, I can
give you thirty. You know, such a heavy such a heavy burden.
Okay, alrighty, then thirty It is Jesus, there are going to be
thirty names on this list. But to be clear, this is the list
that Rose was providing you that under your dialogue with Rose previously. These are
the people that haven't done anything wrong and need help getting out right, Just
so that we're clear that that's what this list is. Okay, all right,
So I'll let you you will you role play it out from here,
go for it. As we recover the technology and we start drawing up the
information, and I don't know if it comes with like photographs or anything like
that, or if it's absolutely photographs locations, you're not. Yeah, absolutely,
yep. It gives imagine their model numbers, their purpose, their function,
like I shouldn't say function, but what they were doing before, where
they lived, you know, it's it's it's extensive or potentially Yeah, sorry,
go ahead. For the purpose of what Sawyer and Rose had discussed,
it was it was for the intent of he was going to draft documents effectively
for them, So you need the information to do so in order to delete
their old information and give them new information. So yeah, it's very very
comprehensive, and you can roll play as much detail as you want because you
rolled that for take it away. Yeah. I just started pulling up profile
after profile onto the terminal and wait waiting to go down. There's a fair
few on here more than I expected. Actually, do I recognize any of
them? Would you like to? I'm looking through with that four I'll let
you. Yeah, sure, let's say recognize Yes, Okay, who do
you recognize? Make them up? I'll write it down. Uh, let's
say, YO, recognize a kind of a kind of bookish, like a
bookkeeping like accountant attendant, sort of intended replicant who I think Sawyer probably met
alongside Rosetta, like about a year back, if not, if not a
little longer. Yeah, yeah, just like a friend of a friend.
And just I hover on this one for some reason, and I can't really
put my finger on it, but yeah, it's the only one that I
really recognized out of the mix. Yah. Can I ask what they do?
Or do you want to leave that? Yeah? Like you meant them
around Timons? Was that I'm wondering if they did similar things? M hmm.
I think booked in accounting and bookkeeping, and I think now now they're
doing that on the on a more got it, you know, a criminal
level at this stage most likely. Okay, but just to keep themselves afloat.
I don't think they're actually, you know, involved in anything too heavy,
but they are by association involved in in some kind of underbelly got it?
Thank you, narrator. Do I recognize any of these names? Would
you like to? You also rolled a four, so i'll if you.
Oh wow, okay, go for it. Who do you recognize? One
of them? Is Bill? My god? Yeah? Okay? Yeah?
Yeah? Oh are you kidding me? Dude? Yes? Absolutely, you
can have it. Yeah. Oh, I say nothing. I don't even
I don't even realize any of the other names. Everything after that looks like
Greek. Oh jeez. Is it thirty names total? People? Yes?
So then my my question for you is do we want this to be confer
every single name on this list is a confirmed replicant or do we want to
be a little bit playful with your damage and say that some are just sympathizers,
not just but it's equal the law says they all go ah, I
feel well, this is tough. Yeah, because uh, I'm not sure
I feel like that should be a core narrator. Should we roll for it?
Yeah? Maybe, let's roll for it. That's the next My follow
up question is is Bill a replicant on this list? Or is he a
sympathizer? So let's roll for it? Okay, roll me A one D
two in uh in the roll twenty for me Selma, which is just slash
R one D two and one means that he is a replicant, two means
he's a sympathizer, and then uh one means you're well, I guess we
can do. One is pure replicants and two is a mix of both.
And then we'll roll again for what he's listed as. Sure, so I
got a two. Okay, so mix mix yep. Okay, So then
roll again and if it's a one, he's a replicant, and if it's
a two, he's a sympathizer. Oh okay, wait another r R?
What did you? Okay? Wait wait what are the what are the answers?
Again? One is if he's a replic and two as if he's a
sympathizer. On this list, I don't want to press the under butter o
Jesus, Oh take fuck? Okay? So okay, So okay, Bill,
what are you excited about? You still have to kill him? You
mind your business. It's the type of damage, okay, my emotional damage.
Yeah, okay, Well it looks like I got a new partner.
I think God bless Okay, Okay, all right, I don't say anything
about Bill. Okay, now does it say does it? I'm sorry,
did you specify? Does it say whether or not they're sympathizers or gonna list?
Yeah, if they've got a if they've got a confirmed replican I d
like they are going to need their I changed, then they're listed as a
replicant, and then Bill. However, there are maybe five or six of
these people listed as sympathizers. However, I have to say, based on
the way that you have role played and described your relationship with Bill, I
think you are listed on Bill's profile as somebody that knows him as a contact
that is frequently visits him. That would need to be a loose end tied
up. Not that you would need to be killed, but you know,
he would have to have a death because someone's going to miss him kind of
thing. And this someone is a detective. So yeah, I think your
name would be on here. So it's whether or not you try to hide
it from Sawyer by switching or standing in front of or if you you know,
you just don't try anything at all. Okay, all right, So
then Sawyer, I do think you see Selma's name on this list next to
Bill, a sympathizer. I'm trying to remember what the fuck Okay, why
they have am I on here? Oh? No you're not, but I
am. That's my name? You are? But you know this guy?
Yeah, I know this guy. I've known this guy for a while.
His name's Bill. You know. Uh, I should have known you are
when he close, I thought, so m hm, Hell he knew what
I did for a living. I mean the amount of times I hadn't talked
to this man about about my experiences as as a blade runner, and how
much he knew, and how much I felt like he understood, you know
what. You know, it would make sense, it really would. It
would make sense if the place wasn't bugged, because you know, Bill was
amazing at tech. He was absolutely amazing, you know in a way,
Sawyer, you have his spirit. You have that spirit, and that's probably
why we make good partners. But Bill, Bill would hear me out about
these things, Sawyer, he would hear, he would hear how much replicans
bothered me, and I just felt like he was listening some times. And
it turns out he's on this list, And it would make sense that they
thought I was a sympathizer. Because there were no bugs in that man's apartment,
they would have no clue what Bill was talking about in their His security
was absolutely amazing, and it would make sense. It would look it looked
like I went in there to fucking help him out. And I'm visibly shaking.
I'm sorry, Sawyer. You shouldn't have to deal with this emotional fallout,
but I tell you it is something else. It's okay, and we
are can't possibly act on all of these are so else. We're definitely gonna
have to pass some of these along to other runners. Yeah, you don't
have to be involved in bringing him in. Oh huh. I don't think
I could forgive myself if I wasn't involved with that, I would I would
want to look at him. I'm not the guilty one here. So yeah,
I will be there and I will be too. Good on you,
Sawyer. You did good. This is good. Thank you. Let's hope
the deputy chief agrees. I have a feeling it's probably gonna go pretty smoothly.
And now we're gonna switch scenes. Geh for roonies. What are you
doing? I just came back from a successful job, that's right, and
I'm hoping that that endears me to to uh Nara and it lets me,
well, hopefully she allows me to use her contacts and her reach and all
that kind of stuff to hide out and uh I let her know that that
I'm in. Okay, do you want to have that conversation? Sure,
yeah, let's do it. Okay, So this is probably the I think
it would make sense that you blew it up and then you hid perhaps with
Emma that evening right lay low, and you're only just now coming back to
see Nara, so you can have the conversation about exactly what you did and
how you pulled it off. Okay, Okay. I also think it's safe
to say that she has provided you with a way in and out to either
her office or to get into a you know, Wallace location without being seen.
Okay. So you're probably not in a super fancy office or anything,
but you're you're there. You're there at Wallace now, and she will You've
probably been sitting in a in this room here for a good twenty minutes before
she walks in, doesn't say anything, shuts the door behind her, and
slowly walks to a seat or sits on the edge of the desk and puts
her hands in her lap and waits for you to speak. The operation went
as well as it could go. Everything went is planned, everything, everything
that you want to to accomplish, it's all gone. Nothing usable and will
be recovered. I used a contact that I've had for a while that's professional
good at her job, and it would be omitting something if I didn't tell
you that I saw my former partner as I was leaving, So miss Yeah,
but I don't know if that matters anyway. I'm already wanted. I
don't think I could be wanted anymore. Will need a new identity and a
place lay low. I can provide both of those things for you. I
was hoping, so I have one other task for you. I thought as
much. It's going to be a lot more difficult without that badge or any
working way for you to get in. Okay, Tyrell has some information that
I need. You want me to break into Tyrell? Yes, Well,
I'm not saying no, but I just want to know if you think I'm
the why you think I'm the best man for this job, Because you're burnable.
They're already damaged goods, they're already looking for you. If you want
me to be honest, I do, and I know, and you don't
know anything that we're doing yet. So if you get caught, I don't
know anything. I understand. Do you have Do you have joy in your
life? Yes? So it comes back depends on why it went away,
because right now it feels like doing the right thing, but I'm not feeling
good about anything. So I'm just hoping that when either when all this is
said and done, or somewhere in the middle, I'll find some happiness in
there, or comfort at least. So what's the job? I think you
have to learn to look at the bigger picture, Skiff. Your joy is
going to simultaneously be in the smaller moments, the brief things that pass in
between your sorrow and your pain, and also the knowledge that what you're doing
will make a difference, but maybe not for you before the generation after you,
but for the one after that. All right, I mean that's what
I thought I was doing with the LAPD anyway, aren't trying to make a
difference, trying to do what was right? So is it just me to
have a crew. It's just you unless you want to acquire a crew or
call on anyone. What's the gig. I have a section of floors where
this information could be stored. I need you to get in, acquire the
information, and get out. It was an experiment that Tyrrell was running.
Okay, how well, I know what I'm looking for. We're looking for
an EMS project. It's a bunch of data. I'll give you a way
to retrieve it. It's just you know, I'm not that tech savvy.
I don't think you need to be. Once you're in. If you can
get on the floor where it's stored, I'll take care of the rest.
You're going to be in my ear at the time the whole time. No,
because then you're not going blind and alone. Good guys, I am
expendable. Do you have a plan for getting me in? Do well list?
There's a it has to do with your new identity. I can get
you on or around the floors where we suspect that the information is being contained,
but I can't get you on the exact floors. So at that point
you're going to have to take over. Okay, this type of project that
they're running is usually a bare bones crew. Is there going to be what
work involved? Maybe hopefully not, but that's always a possibility. Well,
like I said, i might not be a cop and name, but I'm
still a cop in my brain. So if I can avoid killing you,
I will. That's our preference as well. Good. These analysts probably have
no idea what they're working on and the full scope of the project. They're
just collecting data machine. That's right, I know how they feel. It's
at this point. I set my pen down and I lean back on the
desk. The information that I had for you, maybe a file something like
that, I set it down on the desk and I fold my hands in
my lap. What's the timeframe, skiff? What is what is a case
you worked that you were proud of? There's a few getting at something I'd
like to know. Well, before I was a blade runner, I was
just a just a detective, and I wasn't even on This wasn't even the
case I was on. I was going door to door, I guess,
and I was asking about this incident that happened. And as I was going,
I saw I knocked on a just random door open up. Father and
daughter daughter. I was in the living room. I could see her from
over the shoulder of the sky. Huge guy had to be six eight if
he was an inch. I look over, she's crying. I could absolutely
see that she had been abused, And I mean I played it off,
played it like I didn't see what I saw, called in for backup,
did some research or called in the guy. Find out that he has a
history in a rap sheet and that he's living alone seeing a father. But
he's not. He's in no way of father. And I took her away
from there. I remember she didn't want to go. But a little while
later, I don't know, six months a year, get a message from
her. She's doing well, she wants to be a dancer, and she's
going to art school or whatever wherever dancers go. That felt good. Does
that work for you? No matter what happened at the end of your career
with the LAPD, you changed that girl's life. You were doing good,
You were doing the right thing, And whether or not you ever joined the
LAPD, you have already made a difference. Many of my children understand love
and have empathy and compassion for humans because of an experience you had when you
were young. At all, I think up the file folder. I don't
want to seem like I'm ungrateful jeh, what it's weird. Being back on
this side of the log again feels like coming home. I don't know if
I like it. Welcome home. Is there any name you like for this
new identity of yours? Yeah? Lake, Kah like it is? When
do I start right away? What else can I provide you? What do
you need other than a weigh in? I'm assuming there's like floor layout blueprints
I have, Okay, key cards and access You're going to have to improvise
once you get there. Who am I to Tyrell? To Tyrell the janitor?
Okay, janitor Lake, and you've already been working there for at least
four weeks, all that that data has been provided and falsified. I will
provide you with your schedule, where you live, we'll commit into memory.
I imagine this is the last place the LAPD will look for you, in
the entirail building. That's right, last pace it could look for me.
That place is a fucking fortress. Yes it is. Look at me and
answer me a question, be honest, or I'll know this a suicide mission.
I think that depends on whether or not you can find joy and entirely
up to you. But it is in there. You're not sending me in
there to die right now. Let me be very clear, like, I
need this information, and I did debate on who to send. Someone I
trust that I know is capable, that highly valued, or someone I trust
that is capable that is burnable. What's to stop me from using this as
leverage against you? Nothing? Trust you're either in or you're not in.
But I think think you're in. Let's be honest. If I gave you
a small mission that wasn't even worth your time, I think that would be
an insult to both of our intelligence, don't you. That's not a test,
that's busy work. Well, I just hope you not giving me too
much credit. We'll find out. I'll be in touch with the job done.
Here is your new contact number. This is the one that you will
need to contact me. And I hand over another sh It's got all of
your like your whatever, your email equivalent would be, your your VID phone
number and all that kind of stuff. So check that in about thirty minutes
for your new IDs. Good luck you too. When you have money,
you don't need luck. Can I walk up? What do you do now?
Well? I pick up the K and I call some and I tell
her my exact plan. I did it. This is what's going down,
friends again, Now I am I grab the hey or grab all the information
file folders whatever, and uh, I look for my my new address.
M hm And uh where where is it in the city? Is in next?
Is it near the Tyrail Corporation building? It is not near the Tyrell
Corporation building, just because that's like a little bit of a fancier area.
And she has set you up kind of closer to the Wallace esque building,
like let's say Sector three in a very forgettable area. Yep, okay,
yep, okay, cool, all right, yeah, so it's far away
from downtown. Yeah, it's good. So not a lot of people will
be able to well, I mean, nowhere isn't packed in this alternate reality
of la And twenty twenty three, but it is going to be whop around.
Yeah exactly. It's it's going to be easier to hide you here in
this sector and special specifically areas of this sector. There's also easy way for
you to get to and from Wallace from here, but also to and from
Tyrell from here without maybe necessarily getting getting seen. So she has provided that
to you. I will let you know that you do. At least with
this, you have a way of having Bob and Galen contact you with this
new number, should you choose to use it. I don't know if you
know how to contact them. However, at this stage I don't. Okay,
I would, Well, I mean, they know at least one of
my old haunts. Yep, I know, but I'm not. We don't
have to say anything about that because they're up next. We'll let them figure
it out. But what I will, I would I would if I would,
oh you go, oh yeah, okay, okay. How far is
it from from where we are to my new domicile? Wallace is in I
believe sector four. Let me just look at the thing Secter two, Sector
four. That is correct. So yeah, I'm going to say that it's
probably thirty whoa, what is happening? Okay, it's about thirty minutes or
so probably. I don't see why not. Okay, from like she said,
start immediately, I'm wonder if there's enough time to go there. Yeah,
there's there's enough time. When she says immediately, she doesn't necessarily mean
right this second, but you're going to need to start your prep time immediately.
If you're going to mean, if you're going to need somebody like you
know, Galen or Bob to help you, then you need to go recruit
them right away. You need to let her know if they need new IDs
or whatever. Blah blah blah. Yeah, it's it's clear in the information
that she gave you that you have, you have a budget. You hire
people if you need to, but they need to be either completely burnable or
completely oblivious as to your relationship to her, all that kind of stuff.
You know what you're doing, but you do not have to do this so
low and I think it's pretty clear in there that you do not have to
do this alone. So okay, all right, you're gonna go my way.
I take all the information, I grab a train or a cab or
whatever to my new place. Okay, on the way there, I call
up BB's. Yeah that is so crazy. I well again, let me
just spend a minute. Let me just get the names right, Flynn,
Flynn, thank you, you're welcome. Yeah. I call it BB's and
I asked for Flynn. H do we remember anyone in chat what her accent
was? Was she Southern? Was she Irish? What did we do?
I think for one of the bartenders I made Irish. I don't think she
was either. I think she was just she was just normal, my normal
voice. Yeah, a normal cool bartender, sausage like, not super loud
yep. Okay, so then yeah, you'll have avid window with Flynn.
Uh and uh yeah, she will go ahead and answer. Okay, hey,
hey, what the hell happened to you? Don't ask? I redact
my previous statement. I have a favorite ask of you. Okay. I
can tell by the way you look that this favor might not be entirely This
is a big favor. It's I'm not asking to do anything untoward. What
about legal? Could you clarify that for me? It's not illegal? All
right. What I want you to do is, if you see these two
men and I send her an image file of Bob and Galen, they might
try to get in touch with me. Okay, are you okay? Do
you need anything? It's a long story, but no, I'm well,
let's just say I'm not a blade Runner anymore. But that's a long story
for another time. I need you to stop asking me questions. I love
you, thank you for being concerned, and I appreciate you. But okay,
I just need you. If you see these two men and I send
her my number, my new number. You give them this number, don't
write it down, don't do anything. If you could commit it to memory,
I would appreciate it. I'm going I want you to I want you
to delete this message on your side. Just let them know that's where I
am if they need to get in touch with me. Okay, Okay,
I may not see you for a while. I just want you to know
that poor good drink. Can you one question? Okay? Is this because
of what I gave you? See you around? Cool? And I liked
my apartment and start start reading up about the job. Okay, perfect,
perfect, And we're gonna go ahead and switch scenes. Then Galen bob Arno,
where are you two? Last week? Left off you were running in
the street. Corrected, Yeah, running away from gunfire that you you did
to break into somewhere. You got a whole bunch of information about what Sam
was up to and maybe what he was doing. You tried to get his
attention on his own security cameras and things like that, but he didn't show
at that time, and you fired to get into the building. And then
uh, now you're running away from it, right are we are we also
skipping to the next morning, along with wherever one else is sitting. I
don't know. It's up to you. We can skip ahead to the next
morning, or we can finish you running away to where you hid, or
you can tell me where you two would have gone to hide and laylo.
I think m I think we would have found any gutter that was relatively warm,
unless unless, Galeen, unless you had an idea of somewhere better to
stay in for the night. I have a few different ideas. If you
suggested that we would stay just kind of bundle up someplace, I imagine that
I would make a suggestion, all right. I think that whenever we found
a place that we were both sufficiently hidden and not comfortable but whatever we were
going to get for the night, I think there would have been a pretty
long conversation. I would have let Galen in, no, no, we're
doing that. Then we're doing that. We're doing that scene. You don't
get to get out of that rp okay, So while bundled up and sort
of close, I would hand Galen the blueprints that I snacked. I don't
think there was a lot of pulking along the route. But now that we're
here, I handed over. What do you make of this? This looks
like I mean they're this is Tyrrell. Yeah, so Sam had these Yeah,
from on the indications here, he was going to go inside. You
know, I didn't want to linger there for too long, so there could
be more back there. But he wanted to get in, you know.
Maybe he was looking for information on him. Maybe he has a different plan.
I don't know. Maybe he's tied to this stuff. That's I don't
know, Bob, what do you want out of all of this? I
need to find him. I need to find Sam. There's so many ridges
burned at this point, and I don't know what to do. I don't
know if I have an answer for you. I don't know where to go
next. Other than that, I know that I want to help you,
and if you need answers from Sam. Well, it looks like Sam is
headed towards Tyrell. We didn't hear anything about it. That doesn't mean that
it didn't already happen, right, all right, If that's the case,
we have a few ways we can proceed. We've got some contacts in Tyrell.
I don't really think they're going to care very much about what's going on
inside the LAPD. But that's a high priority target for the team. Yeah,
we'd have to think about how we're going to make our way in.
He would probably have to be quiet. Yeah, I mean, if he
was able to get in and get out, even if it wasn't reported.
And I'm pointing at the blueprint right now, I don't know how good these
entrances still are at this point. You know, there was a layer of
dust on this and everything else. It had been a couple of weeks,
I might guess, since he'd been in that warehouse, so most likely not
there anymore. We'd be asking questions or taking information from Tyrell. Yeah,
it's dangerous though, Yeah, you know, but maybe he was able to
get in and get out without being seen. I mean, this leads somewhere
very specific. I just you know, was he working for somebody? Was
he just doing this himself? Is he a part of this underground? Doesn't
matter to you? Yeah it does because if he's done this, if he's
a part of this underground, maybe it's not as dangerous for us. Maybe
I can find him an easier way, But I don't know how to.
I don't know how to find him. I mean that was the whole thing,
right, We were cops and there's this group of people people running around,
so we couldn't find him. Then how do we find him now?
Can't go back to Electric Dream. We'll have a chemist. Yeah that place
is burned. Yeah, so we can try and track down Skiff, but
I don't know where to start. He had something with one of them about
that bar. We went to BB's. Yeah, he did seem to know
the place. It was seedier, which is why we went. But maybe
gotta be careful in BB's. Yeah, yeah, it's right near our precinct.
Yeah you sure you want to come along for the ride? Aylen?
This is I mean, I'm I just want to know even if the Bob
listen to me, I'm gonna put a hand on your shoulder and I'm gonna
look at you in the eye. The second that we stop being Blade Runners
was this moment of my life where I just didn't know where to go.
Who I am? That was my life and I chose to let that part
of me die. What do we have left? Is the question? We
have who we are and what we do now? We could just run I
have enough contacts that if you wanted to, if you wanted to just leave,
I could probably find a way out of the city. But you still
have questions that you need answered. And to me, that's the most important
thing in my life right now, because it's important to you. And if
that means that we can find Skiff, well that's even better. Okay,
thank you, I appreciate it. You know, I want to. I
want to apologize, and I don't know why. For what. I don't
know. I don't know. I'm gonna do something that you might not have
seen before. I'm gonna start laughing. No, and I grab your other
shoulder, a bob, Yeah, you've got nothing to apologize for. M
h, it's okay, buddy, it's okay. I just I think there's
a few more pieces of my family I need to find and and then yet
and then we run. We'll figure it out, Okay. I gotta be
honest with you, though, I really don't have too much of a desire
to sleep in the gutter. No either. Look, there's still a few
people that owe me some favors. Rich people. They wouldn't expect us there.
Okay, let's see that and then let's get some rest, we'll get
cleaned up some. We'll go to BB's see what we can find out.
And if you don't find anything, I want to go to Tyrell. Okay,
okay, worse comes to worse, you can give care and a call.
Yeah, yeah, it's a good idea. All right, where are
we going? The John? Okay, caught them running? Uh well,
pleasure models not exactly his okay, sounds good. Managed to get out of
any sort of prison. I worked out a deal. Let's find a good
phone, m h and I think we switch here, actually, unless we
want to skip to BB's. I don't know. Maybe a good time to
sway, I think so. All right, back to Selma and Sawyer.
All right, you two? Sorry, Speth, can you go again?
You remuted my end about yours? You're good? Sorry? Hello, yes,
okay, can you hear me? I can, but there's something weird
happening. You sound doubled or like a robot maybe a little bit. Okay,
can you hear me now? Yes? Perfect? Is this better?
Okay? Right? Okay? All right? Cool? Cool, cool story
about that? So we're in are we in my office still? Or because
at this point we should have had our coffee run. Yes, yeah,
you can be wherever you would like to be. I don't know if you
want to talk to hold In or if you want to Oh, we could
roll to see two things. Actually is what I wanted to do at some
point during this session, when you feel it is roleplay appropriate. We're going
to roll to see if you find anything on sector three on Skiff, or
if you find anything on the other two as well. Since they do end
up moving locations, so anytime they move locations, I'm gonna let you guys
roll for it, but we can include it narratively if you like. And
then the second thing is I have rolled Natalie does come into the office today,
So it depends on what y'all want to do. Do you want to
go talk to Holden or do you want to talk Natalie? Or do you
want to figure it out together in character? First I say we figure it
out in character. Let's do it. So we are all right, we're
done with the coffee, we're at the office, and do we see Natalie
come in or are we? I think you're probably waiting right, so you
probably have your terminal lights up with her badge being used like ope, she's
entered the building. So if you guys want to be outside the bell evader
to intercept, you can be. You can also wait for her to go
to her desk like whatever. But I'd say, you guys have been waiting
for her to arrive on whether or not she's going to so yeah, sure,
at the same time as always, though, I will say that you
know, she's usually about within a same ten to fifteen minute time window of
arriving at work every day, so it's not like she's particularly early or late.
Okay, I say, we're just waiting at her desk. Okay,
there's a cup of coffee ready for her. Absolutely, Oh boy, all
right then, hello, good morning, good morning. How are you feeling
today? Much better? Thank you? Good good, good to hear.
How is your evening? Good? Good? Are you blocking the way through
my desk right now? Like? Are you sitting so I cannot access the
terminal? Okay? All right now, now I wouldn't want you to feel
now uncomfortable. Oh of course not. Okay, So I'll sit down and
you know, I'm setting my coffee down, then my bag and everything is
everything all right? Yeah? I think enough things are all right right now,
but there are still a few things that I think we need to tie
up, maybe some loose hands that are worth taking another gander. What do
you think, Sawyer? Yeah? Plus, I think it's just better that
you hear certain things from us rather than through the grapevine at this stage.
Okay, couple things to catch you up on. Okay, so where should
we start for catching me up? Yeah? I don't I don't know.
Do you want the good news or the bad news? I say we start
with the bad news first. I like starting with bad news makes the good
news a little bit more worth it at the end. Okay, bad news
of news, then, I guess narrator, we're fully aware of electric dreams
up and smoke and everything. Oh yeah, absolutely? And was there?
Yeah. The question is, I don't know if everybody else knows about Skiff's
involvement, because I don't know what Selma divolts to the rest of the team.
But I'm assuming told you yeah, so yeah, Now do you think
we've divulged that to others? Selma? Are we keeping that? No?
What? I think we had a conversation earlier where she knows what she's seen,
but she doesn't know why, so she's leaving it until she can figure
out the rest of the puzzle. At least that's the hope. Okay,
okay, all right, Well got news. First, I guess did you
find Skiff? Is he? Okay? Well, I guess that's what this
is about. You wouldn't have seen the APB that got put across all the
channels yesterday. I'm wagering. No, I just got to work. I
just got here. We have three rogue blade Runners. What three people have?
Well, three rogue is in. They've put their badges up and they
have chosen to oust themselves from the department, and they've staked their claim with
that of the sympathizers and the replica underground. Yeah, it's a shame really.
Actually, I want to say, you're probably pretty good friends with one
of them. If I had to work on assumption. Where do you think
Skiff is right now? Natalie? I don't know. He did not reply
to his vid fun message that I sent when I was in the hospital.
That's a shame. I thought you might have his location at the moment.
He is one of the blade Runners that has defected and has refused to do
his job. I'm sorry. This is just a bit of a shock for
me. No, I imagine, so it does come with good news,
and what's the good news? I don't think you're them all. I don't
think I really care about that right now elsewhere, but I think you can
afford to care about it a little bit. I knew I wasn't the mall,
so it's not something I was particularly worried about. The truth would find
itself eventually. I'm sorry, how long have you known this? How long
has he has? Skiff? And who are the other two? I'm getting
bored? Or is it with what? Bored with you? Okay, you
can leave my desk then I think we will, and you know what,
I think. I'm gonna go talk to Holden. I'm gonna go tell Holden
about you and Skiff. I'm gonna go tell him everything that I have seen
personally. I'm gonna tell him exactly what I saw on the terminal. I'm
gonna tell him. Okay, I'm gonna do that. I think you are
some kind of sympathizer. Is that what you would like right now at this
particular? Do you think that I am a sympathizer because I was helping a
coworker? What is wrong with you? I was helping your partner, my
partner who happened to defect from his job. Exactly what are you? Are
you not considered the sympathizer because you are super close with him? Were you
not? Was being the key word there? Natalie? Now I ask you
again, do you want me to bring this information holden or not? I
don't care what you do, and you cannot threaten me with fake information.
The truth is what is important. Selma, that's right. I actually agree
with you on that. Well, since you didn't answer my question, we
will leave you be, enjoy your coffee. Thank you. Holy shit,
I need to make a role. Two roles, Sayer. I need to
make you to make your role, which is tech at disadvantage, and I
need to also make a role. Where are you, miss Natalie? I'm
going to push that. Yes, okay, keep it done. Second,
let me just put this up here. Oh I have no idea where to
put this? Now? You rolled a four correct or no zero zero tech
and you push zero and you roll to zero. Do you want to tell
people what you were doing? Or should we just let it go? You
can let it go? Okay, all right? I need to do wonderful?
Am I on advantage? Right now nope, I'm a normal Okay.
Cool. So for those of you who could not see what I just rolled,
let me switch over here for you for a second so that you can
see the screen. Yeah, I got very lucky. Natalie rolled a three
on her manipulation role just now and a four on tech. All right,
what do you two do? Now? I go to Holden? All right,
holy ship, you know, I'm just all right, I'm ready.
I'm looking. I'm woking a Toki somethings here as we're walking be sitting this
woman and trying to pretend and trying to beat around the bush like something not
going on. All right, I think we're gonna have to sign some people
to follow that one. Ah yeah, i'd say I'd say more than a
few at this point. Head on up to Holden's office, Sawyer, I
assume you're coming with me? Oh yeah, younna to say, it's really
hard to be bad cop when you're around well, you know what, I've
always hated the concept of good cop, bad cop. You know what I
like, Sawyer, I like good cop, efficient cop. You don't need
to be the bad cop to get things done. You just get them done.
You look at the truth and then you write that truth down. Agreed.
Okay, I wonder if holding's even in right now? Oh yeah,
he is. He Basically I think it probably looks like he did not go
home last night. It was the whole raid and then everyone was looking for
information. And yeah, so he probably slept here at the office. But
the door is not it's open. Morning, sir, Good morning. How
are you? How are things not great? Not great? The raid didn't
go as planned? So what are we gonna do about that? Well?
Sayah, and I have some ideas. What we're gonna do is I think
we're gonna try and look at some footage, maybe reach out to the other
sectors, see if we can't catch him before we before he makes it to
wherever he's headed. We also have a list of over two dozen names of
replicants and sympathizers associated with the underground, confirmed as good as confirmed can be.
Yes, and how do we know this? And for me, she
retrieved with the replicant that I retired last night for your request. But the
chief, it was very quick of you. I work very quickly when given
orders. Let's see this list. Sorry, God, damnite, let's see
this list. I hand him the okay, uh wow, okay, And
did you redact anything from this list like Bill, no, or you're listed
as a known associate. Nope, okay, all right, oh boy,
okay, A couple questions for you, Sawyer. Mm hmm. How did
you know that that replicant would be carrying this list? Because she told me
she would be expand because when I fight an enemy, there are no tactics
that are off the table. In order to acquire set information, I had
a contact with a replicant from well before the Act passed. I was able
to dredge up that relationship and put it to good use one last time.
The results are in the morgue. If you want to double check, I've
already seen it close range, extremely close range. Well, now this lower
my glasses a little. I look through the list that you've given me.
I assume that you're giving me a paper list data after you've gotten it off
of the crystallized information here. So I'm looking through this list. I think
you see me stop at Bill and the mention of Selma's name, but I
say nothing. I just look at it and slowly flip through until I go
through all thirty pages in silence. Then I close the stack of paper or
the file that you've given me. I lean back. So this is your
next operation? Then, yes, sir? Why did she give you this
list of names? Why was she going to have this list of names?
She erroneously believed that I was going to help her with what with helping these
people? How because of my skill set? Sir? She was mistaken?
Or was she? No? She wasn't. No, you misunderstand me.
Is there not a chance to get all these people in one location because they
think you are helping them? That is entirely possible, sir. Yes,
then I think that's what we do. Of course, I imagine that from
any of the ones that we recover that we may be able to find some
information about the current whereabouts of the underground. So you want to spare some
only for more of a delay on execution at best, Sir. An contact
of mine is on this list. I see that he goes by Bill.
I saw that too. This is going to be an issue for you,
No, but it could be an issue for the LAPD. This man has
contexted god knows what, and I can tell you that he is not an
easy person to track. He doesn't doesn't work with bugs. He's got a
radar like a hawk, so he worked for us. I think once upon
a time. Correct, Yes, I thought I recognized his name. Yeah.
Yeah, what do you propose, Selma not to delay? Yeah,
we learned that mistake, because I think I'm sorry. We learned that mistake
last night, didn't we? We certainly did. I think he's probably at
this stage, he's probably well aware of the kind of danger that he is
in. So I propose we move quickly and bring him in. As far
as I know, Sir, this is a direct connection for me, not
one other single person on this list. Bill, I know my eyes start
to Sawyer and then back to you. All right, I trust your judgment.
I appreciate that, sir. H One other thing, Natalie, What
about her? She and Skiff seemed very close, and I think we just
rattled her cage a little bit and just talking with her. I wouldn't be
shocked if she flies the nest, right, it might be good to have
some people allocate it to making sure she doesn't do anything too crazy. No,
Dad, if you can spare it the manpower noted, this is shaping
up to be a very big catch Sweer. I hope, so sir dismissed.
Thank you, sir, And I stand now what I say that coffee
is catching up with me. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Beare back.
Sure, I go into one of the stalls. I'll pull out this
little analog looking device looks like one of those flip phones from back in the
day, narrator. Can this be my personal item? Yes? Absolutely,
it's a BlackBerry. It's like a little pager thing. Bill has one,
Oh, Selma, okay, And I text him R God, put in
three three for R, four for you and three friend, and I just
text him run and I put it away. Flush the toilet, get up,
wash my hands, look at myself in the mirror, and I asked
myself what I want? And then I leave the bathroom. Sawyer, what
do you do? Oh Selma is gone? It's not long. I am
multitasking a little bit. I think. On one hand, I am scanning
feeds, police reports, anything I can to try and track our three rogue
blade runners, which I assume is like almost like a rot action at this
stage. And on the other hand, I think I'm doing exactly what Holdens
asked me to do, which is start setting up, start you know,
finding the language and the locations to set up this thirty odds. Yeah,
innocent people. Yeah, can you do me a favor. I'd like for
you to roll observation, please, And that's not an advantage or disadvantage,
just a straight observation role to see if you saw something in that scene.
But I didn't want to interrupt it. Free observation. So I think when
you walked into Holden's office, there's no doubt you didn't see the forms on
his desk about in stating you as a blade runner. I think there's also
no doubt in your mind he left it out purposefully for you to see,
and it wasn't signed yet. All that was missing was his signature and he
left it there for you to look at. I think on it, but
I try to push it from my mind, just a matter of you know,
for me, it's just if I do the job as well as I've
been doing it, then it shouldn't be a question. Right at this stage,
I guess, I guess I wonder if I if I've misstepped at all
or anything along the way here, But I put all my cards on the
table all right back to the two of you, really quickly. Let's do
those roles to see if you get any hits on our individuals while they are
in travel, and then we will switch. So we're gonna do one for
Skiff. So Skiff, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and roll a
stealth and then both want either Galen. I think it should be Galen to
be honest or Bob roll the stealth. But the reason I'm saying Galen is
because we're going to see Galen's contact. So it's either stealth or or a
connections role. Meaning you guys are just like flying under the radar. You
get lucky or your contact is so good that they're they don't betray you kind
of thing. But it's it's gonna be one or the other, and you
can choose what the role is. Uh, Okay, it will be a
connections role. Okay. Is that the same goes for me? Yep,
yep, you can do yours. I think would be straights. Well,
either one stealth or connections all allow either one. One's a body and one's
a mental stats. So if you're not strong, you can just pick whatever
your strongest in. But we'll roll play it differently. Okay. So for
the both individuals roll. I'm gonna push Okay, go ahead, I want
to push the four holy shit, okay, three? Okay, all right,
and what about you, Galen? Will you pushing yours as well?
I will not? Okay, Okay, So I'm going to say that obviously
this is still a success, skiff, we will role players because we're switching
to you here in just a second. But you guys don't get anything at
least on the on their slip up. Now, if you want a chance
to roll something extra, flick for potentially laying a trap. I think you
said for Natalie, we're gonna we're gonna go ahead and do that right now.
Okay, what am i? What am I rolling? So previously you
tried to slip a bug on her person while you were right there, But
I will now give you an opportunity to not do a physical bug because you
failed that role. But do you want to lay a trap like on her
PC or you know, anything like that? What do you have in mind
for her? Good question? Does she have a personal vehicle or rather does
she have a departmental vehicle? She does not have a departmental vehicle though our
requisition only, and she's not a field officer, got cheat. So she
doesn't have a vehicle, then, I mean the device. I'd have to
get physical access to a portable device. And she doesn't have a Kia either,
I think that was mentioned. Yep, she's not a field officer either.
She'd have to requisition one. Yep. There's no laptops in this world.
Not really no, I guess it would just be an attempt to like
breach her communications. Then would be anything where to listen in because I imagine
she has a vidphone or whatever the whatever the communication device is, okay,
so I would I would try and breach that or leave some kind of tracking
on that. Yep, absolutely okay. So let's go ahead and roll a
tech roll straight tech I have scientists. Does that come into play here?
I don't think so. And the only reason I say that is because I
actually rolled really well for Natalie earlier or manipulation three in a TECH four.
So you're gonna need to get a TECH four or higher. Well, I
don't even know if you can get higher than four. To do this to
Saw, I would need to you need to push one, you need to
push the six. That's correct, So I won't succeed unless I push the
unless I pushed the six, and unfortunately, because she rolled a four.
So you can maybe get an inkling of information, but you're probably not gonna
get anything super g truing unless you match her. Okay, you've matched her.
Wow, Oh my god. Okay, so you want to watch her
communications. So what I'll give you now is that she definitely did reach out
to Skiff. There was no response. I'm at that moment, I'm like,
oh god, yeah, well yeah, so i'd say that you get
in You're it's challenging, and I think I think it's safe to say that
you notice like there's a bit of set up from her to kind of make
sure that this isn't happening, Like you notice that, But also you would
do the same thing, especially if you were being accused of I just lost
video, especially if you were being accused of being a mole. So I
feel like there's a little bit of paranoid. It's not an immediate sign that
yes, she's absolutely up to something, but it does strike you. You
do notice it. But you do see that she did try to contact Skiff
immediately after you both went in and talked to her, or you vidphoned her
about him being missing and whatnot. And if you want, you can listen
to the voicemail that she left. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, okay,
Yeah, the voicemail is just her saying, are you okay? You know,
the the other two Selma and Sawyer, stopped by and they were acting
very strange and they said that you were you were missing or something or I'm
just worried about you. Could you please call me back? Please? I
hope you're okay? And that's it. She just sounds extremely worried for his
safety and confused a little bit, and she contacts him maybe twice more that
evening, but there is no message left and obviously no reply back, no
callback from from yesterday. Clari, Yeah, this is yeah, this is
when you guys stopped you vidphoned her, called and let her know. Yeah
yeah, and then and then there's been nothing yet. But you do have
this bug now on her things, so you will know who she contacts on
Yeah, okay. And then for trying to track the Blade Runners, is
that a tech role again or oh I'm sorry, what was your question to
contact the other blade Runners? No? Sorry, the tracking or like looking
at the footage the camera fades, Oh, they rolled their stealth to hide
from you guys. Just otherwise, yeah, otherwise it would be you demolish
them. But yeah, so that is laying the trap for Natalie. So
yeah, okay, gotcha? All right, all right, so we're going
to go ahead and switch to skip. Alrighty, what does your plan look
like? What are you doing? Well, I'm I'm reading over like how
I'm going to get into the building and uh, I mean if everything looks
sound, then I'm going to study the building way out and see if all
the ingresses from I'm guessing you said, I'm not on the proper floor,
I have to go up one or two. Yep. It's like three or
four different floors that are selected for you as potential options for where this information
can be. It's okay, so the information can be on one of three
floors or fourth that is correct, three floors. We'll show I like three
yeah, yeah, And I think when you're looking at it, and just
for the sake of you the player understanding what you're looking for. And I'm
sure you picked up on this, but you are actually looking for the one
shot episode where you're the analysts were doing this project. So the information that
Skiff is seeing now, is that this is a closed cell environment where these
people live here. They're not allowed to leave, So your only way in
is probably leaning crew or something of the of that type. But it does
mean that you know, you you know, it's going to be in closed
environment. Not a lot of people are going to be there. You might
not have to do too much wet work, you know, if you if
you do it, you know, if everything goes well. But I will
have to find a way to get up to these floors, and I'm sure
that you're going to have to get a You're gonna have to get a key
card to get to this floor. You can get into the building. You're
on as an employee, you've been there for four weeks. You are on
as a janitor. But I think my role to see if I can because
I'm I'm I don't know if Skive is good at sleight of hand or like
pickpocketing or whatever, but he might have a contact that has like a like
a like a card copier that I can oh, hell yeah in my pocket,
so I can just like kind of be next to somebody or bump up
against somebody and like I like copy there, let's do it. So that'll
be a connections making extreme Yeah, okay, so uh I'm guessing connections.
Yeah, okay, I will rule that is successes or okay, so yes,
I'd say there's definitely a way for you to get this. The device
is as small as you need it to be very discreet, and it will
do exactly what you need it to do. So what I'll do for this,
since you're rolling in advance, because this is a planning stage, is
when this happens narratively, you just describe it. You've succeeded at it because
you rolled a four. So when you break in, well, when we
get to that point, you can just decide who you're stealing the key card
for. Okay, he's so many fours today, Holy shit, I know
it's been fucking crazy. So I call up my call my contact. I
haven't meet him or I have him meet me, like halfway between my place
and his place, not telling them yeah I am or anything, but like
meet over here. We meet. It's a pretty painless transaction. It's it's
fairly new tech, so he's been it's something he's been working on, so
he has it readily available. It's not like something like vintage or whatever.
Okay, and it's like it's like his own creation, so you also don't
have to worry about it being tracked, right yeah, okay, yeah,
exactly, you're like, by the way, for those listening too, is
a crip and he rolled a four, so he basically double critted here.
So whatever you need this to triple sorry, whatever you need this device to
do, you've got it. But also you won't it won't be tracked you
using this device. Whatever you need narratively to to explain that, so okay,
go for it. Mhm okay. So if if I can like use
this to my advantage, yes you can, then I would I would say,
I encourage you to do this. This new tech mm hmm. It
doesn't even register on the computer that the door has been opened and closed.
That is mental and so smart, you son of a bitch. Holy shit,
it automatically all right, all right, holy shit. Okay, that's
good, that's good. I'm encouraging you to definitely lawyer me stuff right now
with these roles that you guys are getting, because they might save your life
against your fellow players. Yeah. So yeah, basically what it like,
basically what I picture it doing. Is it like it creates an error at
like it's like you you use the card, it opens for a second,
and then the card tells it that's that it's an error, and it closes
it. So there's a little bit of time that I have to like actually
open the door, okay, but it tells it that it's an error,
so it doesn't register as an actual door opening. Nice. Nice? Wow?
Okay? And is that for I mean, you have rolled a four
are here? Do you think Skiff would have given his Tyrell badge to this
person to edit your badge to be able to do this so you don't have
to scan somebody else's or is that Skiff giving away too much info to a
stranger about his plan? Do you think I'm sorry, no, that's okay,
no, no, yeah, yeah yeah. So do you think do
you think you would have this individual, this contact of yours, modify the
badge that Nara gave you for Tyrell or are you simply asking for the device
so that you would still have to scan somebody's device like cards, Because if
you asked him to modify the card, it's giving him too much information about
what your mission is, right, is that why? Yeah? Okay,
I figured Okay, Yeah, No, I don't want him to know that
I have anything to do with Tyrell. Yep. Okay. Also, I
believe too much noise. Yep. I agree with that, And I am
no longer calling you Skiff, right, I am calling you west Lake right
yep? Okay, all right, West or Lake, whichever you prefer,
Lake is fine, all right, Lake? Uh, what else do you
do? What else do you think you need before you break into tyrol?
I was gonna say fake mustache, but nah, I'm gonna do that.
I'm not gonna go there. I am going to need uh a probably something
that's that I'm I'm thinking. Now tell me if I'm going too far.
But I'm thinking of of like a mechanical retina, like a mechanical eye.
But I will yes and you like, but it won't be mechanical. It'll
have to be an actual eyeball, because that's very Blade Runner and they did
that in the first film. And it's only two it's only two or three
years after the first film, So I don't think you would have a mechanical
one, but you could have a you could have an actual eyeball. Okay,
if you need what are you thinking of? This eyeball ye stick in
my bag? Yeah, in a bat well? Okay, but what is
the eyeball for? Is it from somebody at Tyrrell? Is it because what
we could The reason why I said it was That's the reason why I said
it was like like a robotic eyeball is because it's a it can like it
can fool a retinal scanner. Yes, so what I didn't think it would
be easy to get an eye a retina that would actually scan properly, like
from from someone who works in Tyrell. So so let's I'm yes, and
to you you're not. It's not robotic, it's synthetic because they don't do
they don't do the mechanics too much. But it's basically an eyeball that is
ready to be etched or used or whatever. And you have this fucking crazy
ass device that you clamp onto the front of the fucking eyeball and you basically
program it to to put whatever retina registry you want on the eye, like
to you know, make it so that it's whatever time you want. Yeah,
okay, what else do you want to bring with you? Ruh?
The ooey gouey sound. I would probably bring let's see. Oh, I
asked Nara if she had mm hmm, either some way that I could that
I don't know about to subdue people, or a gun with a silencer.
Okay, I hope you didn't delete all of your requisition points, your promotion
points off of your sheet, because this is the moment where I tell you
you are going to be able to use those promotion points now with Nara and
Wallace Corporation to get you things you might need for this mission the way you
would the LAPD. But obviously we're going to do different flavor text. I
did delete them, but I know how much I had, okay, perfect,
so you can go it was around I had ten. Yeah, I
think you were okay, perfect, So you can use those now to requisition
anything like drugs if you want to, you know, for putting people to
sleep or whatever. Well, basically what I need to know from you is
everything that you're bringing, because if you don't say it now, you don't
have it when you go in there, because this is a very deadly mission.
Okay, then I didn't know I was going to have to go a
shop and yeah, I mean it could also just be anything that Ristmas.
Yeah, exactly maybe out for my mom. Remember when we did that,
Like here's the Toys r S catalog. You just you just tell Santa what
you want by circling. It is like no, no, okay, let's
see and just I mean just so you know, like we were middle middle
class, Like I didn't get everything that I circled. It's just like it
gave my parents an idea of what I wanted. And they're like Santa said,
you could have the super soaker or these two smaller things, like,
uh, the super soaker. Then let's see. Well what page is that
on inventory stuff? Hold on, I have to give my book out.
I have a little thing here. No, if that's promotion points, please
hold please hold us back here though, I'll tell you that it's his own
page. I believe one ninety two is where you can get some synthetic stuff,
the LAPD mainframe. There's a list of medical services and stimulants on page
one eighty six. Your weapons are on page one eighty four. Hold on,
and the whole thing tools start here we go. Yeah, on page
one seventy four. I got youa Okay, I think a recommendation that I
have for you would be a bootleg kia. Okay, that's that. I
don't think I should need to spend points to that because I think that's what
gave me yep. Okay, perfect, Wow, I love that lawyering.
Well done well, I mean she's she gave me a new number, a
new ka something like I didn't have to buy that from her. Let's see,
is there like a silent weapon? There is? Actually it's an add
on to the compact I believe, to the gun. Okay, see here
ms, grenades and everything as well. So what we can do if you
want to take your time shopping is we can you can lay out for me
basic the basics of what you have, Like I want a weapon, I
want this, I want that, just so that I know what you're bringing
with you, and then we can do the details after you've had time to
like browse through and shop and get specific. But I basically need to know
will you be will you be having a weapon with you? Will you be
having armor? Yeah? And what kind of no armor? Okay, no
armor, harder to hard to hide the weapon? I will I will have
what if if what you said is there, like you can tell me where
it is, I will get that. Yep. The subcompact with the silence.
Yep, okay, perfect, Okay, so you do. You will
have a gun, basically, is what I want to know. You're going
to have the ability to get it in there, and then you're also going
to have no armor. So that's the big one. What else do you
do while you prep? And is your plan? Basically? As soon as
you get all this ship, you're going to go in there. The subcompact
is one cause mm hmm. The I don't know where the attachment is.
But let's see your restraints stimulus. Oh, I will get a an instant
fix yep, okay, good, hell pill D contamination fill basically just heals
a point of health. Ye Will you get multiples of those? No?
I think one's fine? Are you sure? I'm sure? Well the fuck
I can't find any attachments like to to. Don't worry. There's definitely a
silence or attachment for at least one of the guns. So either way,
we'll get you the subcompact or we'll get you the normal one that has the
silent attachment. Yes, the mechanical function of the silencer appears to be requires
an observation role to spot shooter. So is what the silencer seems to yep,
oh okay, mechanically provide yeap, gotcha? All right, okay,
so in order to yeah, in order to see me, they have the
role observation, got it? Okay. Is there any sort of like,
uh, do I need to crack anything tech wise? No other than the
key card, which you did beautifully with your connections role. So now it's
just a matter of like getting in that seems like something I would spend the
points on. Yeah, yeah, connection card cracker. Okay, yep,
so that makes sense to me. We'll do that, we'll get okay.
So we got a gun with a silencer, we got the key card cracker,
we got the eye, we got the pit, and then you also
spent money on a way to put people down right without violence, like a
chloroform type thing. No. I was asking if that was available. Yeah,
that is available. Yeah, Oh absolutely can do that. Okay,
I mean I'm sure that's that would be close to, if not all my
ten points. Okay, wonderful, we'll do that. Cool. Is there
anything else you do before I step in with something that happens to you?
I call up selling. I'm like, bitch, you got damn No,
I I call service to see if my poo in a box got there?
God damn, who keeps sending me box? I'm good, I'm good.
Good. Okay. In that case, you do get a call on your
new number. Okay, I I answer it, but I don't. I
mean, I press the button. No, no view screen, but I
wait for the other person to say something. There's no view screen on the
other end either, By the way, Okay, that makes sense. You
got my message. Good to hear your voice yours two alight, holding up,
chepping it together. That's uh, that's good. A lot to ask
about. Now I'm with someone. Oh, yeah, there's someone I know
someone I don't know someone. You do. Good. I'm glad that someone
is there. I'm sure you understand why I had to do what I did.
I know it too. She hear about the party at the club only
recently. Yeah, I saw our I saw our other friend there, well
ex friend there then you know. Yeah, she arrived just as the party
was getting over. And you're still at right. That remains to be seen,
I guess. But like you said, I'm holding it together. So
uh, I'm on my way to another party. Are you now? You
know me? Party? Animal? Dumn I have party fevers? I do.
Did you want an invite? Party could get? Well? Party is
at a pretty exclusive joint, and uh, I'll be frank. I could
use a wing man or two. You might have to depending on how exclusive.
Well, the problem is, I have an invite, but I might
have to see you guys in the back door? Are you okay with that?
I'm a big fan of the back door? I remember? All right,
Well, if you want to talk about what we're wearing, I think
we should meet. I think that's a good idea. You got a good
spot? Yeahs place out of the way. Okay, I'll send you the
details. Sounds good, and don't worry. It's ka have it's new safe
Roger, all right, stay safe you too, and tell uh tell our
friend I think he's doing the right thing. Tell him that he's he's a
good man. I'll try. Is that see in a little bit, we
could Yeah, all right? I sent him details for meeting up in a
spot they wouldn't expect right nearby for for us at least, But uh,
I got no reason to go there. All right, it's busy enough that
we wouldn't be picked out. Oh at this I immediately, just like right
right, sorry, okay, give said the same thing that I did about
not your fault. Okay, let's go. What's that, Let's go.
Yeah, I'm following. I think as we're walking, I'm looking. I'm
looking around, not too much, but like not aggressively looking around, but
I'm I think it's been a long time where I felt this much out of
my element. I think fingers are flexing at my sides as I'm walking,
and there's a bit more of a nervousness to my bearing as I'm trying to
follow, trying to think about not standing out, which I don't know if
that's making it worse. But even with some rain falling, I think you'd
see a little bit of sweat drip down. You're catching your vise as you
look around. Maybe it's your training, maybe it's second nature, maybe it's
just luck. But I reach out, I reach out and I poke at
Galen as carefully as I can. What are you doing? We gotta get
in calling. I'm using my eyes and my body language as much as possible.
Where are you in relation to us? How far away? I want
to say, about thirty feet around the corner alleyway back to a wall,
but I'm standing casual. I grab Galen and stop him fully, What are
you doing? Just I walk towards this individual. I'm trying to get an
eye line on where Bob is headed. I'm approaching cautiously. I have my
hand inside my jacket. I get within maybe ten fifteen feet and stop.
I'd say we're hard to follow, but i'd be lying your tour and I
sore. Who are you? Who do you think I am? I need
you to answer that I can't. Why is that? Because either I know
you or I don't know you? And which one is it? I don't
know, Sam, Bob. I walk up to him and I give him
a hug. Is it you? I think? As he try and hug
me. I take a quick step to the side. Is it not you?
I'm me all right? Oh? Twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen. You
and I we met someone, right, I points to my ring. You
don't understand. It doesn't make sense, Sam, It doesn't make sense.
What doesn't make sense? I don't know. Well, I don't know makes
you for you? I don't know if you were married. I don't know
if she was your sister. I don't know. I can't I can't.
Nothing makes sense Sam. Eight years in the forest. Huh, it doesn't.
My memories aren't they don't. I don't understand Sam telling me what's my
favorite color red? Have we ever been on vacation before? Eight years?
Bob? No? What's my favorite sports team? I don't. How do
I take my coffee? Partner? Ah? Why are you? Why are
you doing this? What are you doing? I doing what? I don't
understand. I don't know the clippers. You'd like it with a little bit
of cream, but not too much sugar. You get really pissed off.
I don't know. Wrong, wrong, wrong? What the fuck are you
talking about? How's that wrong? Tell me? Wow, I'm curious.
I don't. I don't sleep at night. I don't sleep at night.
Do you sleep? No? I don't sleep. What are you talking about?
Sam? Sam? Sam? Sam Hardcrow? Right? Yes? And
chee you? Where's che you? H that's the thing, isn't it?
What the fuck you're talking about? Come on? Sam? Please tell me
you you witnessed a miracle right with a cop? Yeah, as a teenager.
Yeah, you know this story. I think I more than know the
story, Bob, I've lived it. What the fuck are you talking about
Sam. You're talking about Sam. There is no Sam. Bob, I
I was Bob too. Shut the fuck up, Shut the fuck up.
No, yes, no, yes, yes, I'm deadly serious. No,
that's right. What the fuck are you talking about? I? My
Sam? I was told he went a war? You did, I did?
Did? I well? My SAMD? When I found him before,
I put two in his chest and one in his eye. He said,
he told me one day someone's gonna come looking for me, Sam Harcrow,
and I put him down. No, no, think about it, No,
think about everything. Yes, I have the I have the proof I
went, I found out, and so now I'm here. You know,
what's the funny thing, Bob, I still hate Replicans. But I don't
know if it's because it's been put in my head, or if it's who
I am, or if I even have control over who I am. Now
I sit next to the wall, I slide down it. I pull the
gun out and I hold it and then I just sort of let my hands
drop into my lap. So who am I? I suppose? Whoever you
want to be? Robert? I look up at Galen. What the fuck
the fuck Dayalen? This doesn't change anything? H no. The only difference
now is she wasn't real. Listen to your yourself. It wasn't real.
None of it was. Why you'll get over it? Okay, what the
fuck you? I know I did get over it. Get over it?
Yeah, okay, okay, extend a hand towards towards you, Bob.
I take it, and I stand back up. We'll get over it.
M h m h m. I put a hand on your shoulder, and
I you're still my You're still my best friend, Bob. Mm hm.
Fuck, you're my only friend. It's kiff, You're just oh okay.
Now, when we got to go meet up with him, m I look
at I look at Sam, and then I look back towards you, Bob,
What about him? Fuck? If I care? What are you even
doing? Did you was that you? Did you make it in? Did
you get in? Yeah? I got in and and I'll do it again
and again until these motherfuckers pay. It's all I have left. That's all
we have left. That's right. Yeah, okay, Well, then if
