Oh my god, oh skiss, exciss look mm hm oh no,
uh this wider. We have a situation. I think we have a spinner
out of control. Oh no, oh no, what do we do?
What do we do? How do we do? MEDX ambulance to my location?
Send them immediately. Officers down, Galen, Galen, put your hands
off the damn what is going on with? Back up? Get your hand
what hint? Yourself together? Your cutus towards the ground. Let go,
let's roll, Galen. This is going to be a driving role. And
I think we discussed there being some disadvantage, wreck disadvantage, your advantage.
Oh that's right. We talked about one or the other for different reasons.
Okay, well, let's let's talk it out here. I mean, you
do have experienced kind of with either chemicals or something like inebriation and stuff like
that because you worked vice for so long, right, so you've got that.
But then you also have the disadvantage of the fact that you're this was
unexpected. So I guess I'll roll playing then, Yeah, I think so.
Honestly, this role is hard enough as is. I really don't want
to impose disadvantage. And just so that everybody, oh my god, thank
god. Okay, just so everybody listening understands, when you fall in in
Blade Runner, you take the damage of you hitting the ground, but then
you also multiply every story like from the height. This would kill them if
they hit the ground. This is a This is both of them dying instantly.
But he did pass. Thank god. That's one one role that failed,
by the way, let me show you guys. One role was a
failure, a crit failure. Why I roll with disadvanta ninja you would have
you would have killed And then he had the six, which is the success.
So just barely. Okay, So what happens? What do we see?
I think you see the ground just getting closer and closer, and I'm
having trouble focusing. I I have my hand against the window, and you
know, the gravity is sort of pushing us against our seatbelts as we are
plummeting towards the ground and sort of spinning, and there's some some trivical force
there. So I have my hand up against uh, the windshield, and
I'm I'm sort of spinning a little bit inside my seat. Almost my head
is swimming, and I uh, I look towards Bob, and I see
Bob sort of screaming at me, and you hear that sort of droning half
half like muted sound when you're kind of and and I'm looking at and trying
to understand what's happening. And I then glance towards the windscreen and I see
the floor the ground getting closer and closer, and I just kind of grab
the wheel and pull it back just as we're about to hit the ground.
And there's probably some scraping on the bottom of the spinner as it just barely
makes contact to the ground. So we jostle in our seats quite a bit,
and there's some sparks that go off. Okay, I need one,
go ahead. I just start to pull the car into just some kind of
stationary position. You want another, Yeah, I'm just going to do another
driving role. Okay. No success is okay, perfect that is for me.
Okay, So I want to know a couple of things. First thing
is Bob, and you tell me where you were during that fall? Is
your thirty two some on stories up right? I would have been in the
passenger side of the spinner right as we is this what you're asking, like
how where I was mentally or I was reacting or or both. You can
tell me how you were reacting, but I want to know if you know,
I kind of want to know if your life flash before your eyes is
secretly what I'm asking. I was fighting to keep it from flashing before my
eyes a car. This situation is too familiar, but training being one what
it is, I couldn't I couldn't allow myself in this moment. I couldn't
let too much get in, So it came out of anger towards Galen.
I probably punched him on the face, but I would have slammed his arm.
I probably started hitting his wrists and his forearms trying to get over.
But with the movement of the spinner as we're falling, I don't think there's
only so much you can fight, you know, that sort of force.
So I wasn't able to get his hands off, and I'm terrified, but
you'd only see it as rage. Okay, what's one thing. You would
never forget about this moment, no matter, what about this moment. One
detail as you were falling, As you were falling, Oh yes, quiet,
and you see an ad as we were falling. That's a good question.
Certain, I mean most definitely there are ads everywhere, But was there
a particulars stood out to you as you were crashing through these holograms? Maybe
even you know, you probably saw a bunch of smiling faces as you were
plummeting to the ground. I think there's this one advertisement of a man he
is straightening his time as he is speaking Japanese and he is selling the Man's
Man Outfit store design for businessmen, which has gotten some pushback in its messaging
and whatnot. It's a little too heavy, heavily masculine, yep, But
it gets controversy, so they keep pushing it out and so you've probably had
a conversation about it where you were like, this is ridiculous, and they
know that it's controversial, and this is why they do ridiculous. Yeah,
it's praise on people's emotions for money, and that's the worst thing you can
do, so not to pray on your emotions. But how do you think
you felt, knowing that the last thing that you were going to see potentially
before you died was the worst advertisement you've ever seen. Terribly disappointed. All
right, interesting, okay, thank you? What about you, Galen?
Were you even like here enough to be having your life flashed before your eyes?
I I think I think I had a moment or two where I was
present in the moment and it happened sort of near the end here. But
other than that, I don't think I was very conscious about what was going
on. Even Bob hitting me, I saw his own things that I don't
think. We're there, you feel like a dream. Thank you. We're
gonna skip ahead for about an hour. Where are you team? I imagine
that you are all together now? Correct? Imagine it takes some time for
you to meet with the paramedics that Skiff called make sure there was probably damage
on the way down. The spinner's also damaged. You have to take that
in. But after that, where do you go and where do you meet
up down on the ground? Yeah? I bet I think a lot of
this would would circle around if Galen wanted to stay put. After we're down
and we're out of the spinner, after paramedics and after we start to get
this stuff sorted, I'd be sitting on the on like the sidewalk probably I'd
be standing and talking to the paramedics as they're getting like all the you know,
they're preparing to just leave, thank them for coming out, and that
kind of stuff, and then I would turn to Galen. Okay, I
need you to roll some sort of connections for me. Who's yes, you
skiff? Sorry? Yeah, if you guys went down to the ground floor
to kind of witness, you know, they fell, and I'm assuming you
tried to go down there and be there for when the paramedics were there or
were you like yeah, okay, yeah, all right, yeah, I
just need a connections roll from you. Okay, perfect. So when you
get down there, I just kind of want to know how you both would
kind of approach this because I feel like, when you see the car falling,
you like there was no hesitation. I think, yeah, real quick,
I actually I accidentally had it on advantage. So kind to take that
last success off and just make it one just one success Okay, yep,
perfect, thank you? That does matter. Okay, So when you're seeing
that spinner fall, you know that it's that's that's it, right. Unless
they can regain control of the car, they're going to die and maybe kill
some other people on the way down. So I want to know what is
going through your mind as you reach ground level and are approaching the scene.
Are you expecting to see a burning Spinner and two dead prow or are you
blocking that out? I want to know kind of how you camaralize, if
you compartmentalize. I just want to know what's going on in your minds.
We were privy to that audio. When when we heard what was happening,
we weren't sure, right, So I think what I would be doing would
be to automatically assume that their vehicle was maybe hijacked, maybe someone else could
be in there, but I'm not entirely sure. I know that it sounded
like Galen was struggling, so there I would assume that maybe there was somebody
else in there with them. I would want to be seeing if there's maybe
a crowd that's gathering, anybody that's watching this particular thing. I want to
be aware of who looks especially interested. I mean, it's a burning vehicle,
obviously, but who looks who doesn't look as surprised as maybe they should.
Yeah, okay, I want to see who's not not shocked by this.
So that's where my thing, my mind would be going, would be
an analysis mode because I would have to compartmentalize. I couldn't think about the
lives right now. I'd have to assume that this was an act of terror.
Okay, maybe. Okay, So we're not skipping ahead of an hour
and all. We're gonna stay with these two here for a minute. Okay,
So go ahead and roll your observation, Selma, and then I would
like to say, can Skiff, can you roll me a one D four
please? You bet he'sient observation? Yeah, okay, because you're skin into
C three. Okay. So it actually takes you, guys, about thirty
minutes to get down from where you are all the way down to the scene,
maybe because there's like traffic, maybe because it hit stuff on the way
down and they immediately kind of like shut down, but you're basically stuck maybe
bumper to bumper on the way down. But you do eventually get down there
and Skiff is immediately showing his badge and you know, talking to the officers
on the scene asking what happened. You see some smoke. There's lots of
damage. There's probably, like you know, some some signs or some other
bits of advertisement or things that were sticking out of buildings that have been hit
on the way down and have crashed as well. There was a lot of
street damage on the way down, which is what that second role was for.
By the way, when I had you roll maneuver, the first one
was the surviving the crash and the second one was the damage done. So
there was a lot of damage. So you see that as you look around.
There's a lot of rubble, you see fire from the car as it
was like hitting stuff. It's it's totally you know, like fucked or maybe
you don't. You probably don't see the spinner actually because it's been a half
an hour, but you so they've they've taken the spinner and they say that
to you skift. So the so the officer there says, uh, everyone's
okay, they're they're okay, no one was hurt. Luckily, we've already
taken the spinner back. Uh and we uh, your two gentlemen are are
back at the office. I just guessed where you guys would be and where
they would take you. Unless you want to go to the hospital to get
checked out. I should just double check. It took me to get down
here. They have already supposedly we're going to find out. Maybe, yeah,
I would have left, Okay, I think I would have. I
think I would have stayed and waited for them. Yeah, okay, okay,
so then they'll point your friend, you know, your partners are over
there. A little shaken up, but we're just in clean up now.
Thank god, no one was hurt. Agreed, thanks for your help,
and yeah, thanks for coming so quick. Thank you. And I turned
and I I start walking. If I see them, I start walking towards
them. Yeah. Absolutely, so just immediately what my posture is, Like,
I am sitting on my butt on the ground, and I'm sort of
leaning forward with my hands hanging over my knees, my feet flat on the
ground, you know, like that kind of position. I'm just kind of
like looking down. Is Galen alone or or is Bob with him? So
I am there. I'll be honest, I would kind of like to do
a role for something, but yeah, okay, it'll determine where I am
in this scene. I know that this hit me really hard. I'm not
quite sure what to roll for that though, if I'm able to maybe or
resolve. Is it called resolve It's been two weeks and I've already forgotten.
I think it is called the is the pool of mental strength? Right,
Yeah, that's what I That's not a rollable thing. I mean, stamina
is fine. It's just you know that was That was a rough situation,
and I know how I reacted in it. I'm just if you're dealing with
something mentally, it'd be under the empathy one of the going to say.
I would do insight or empathy, but I would also allow for a sam
in a role. It's your choice. Mmmm. I think I want to
try inside, just to like to know where it's coming from, like,
yeah, okay, all right. So Bob is standing next to him,
his arms across. Once, by the way, for anyone listening, thank
you, oh, thank you so much. Seek appreciate that. He's his
arms across. He's looking down at Galen and there's there's a level of I
use the term empathy on his face. Uh. He looks concerned, and
I think concern is good enough. He looks concerned, but he's not talking.
Well. I walked up to them, sitting on sitting standing whatever they're
doing. I'm curious. Sorry, Skith, that's right. So, uh,
Philips talking about what happened up there? Yep, I'm just talking to
both you, no in particular. Yeah, I look over at you,
and then I look down at Kalen. Kalen started to feel sick, got
really dizzy, felt nauseous, wretched out the window. Everything started spinning?
Was it then the spinner started spinning? Did the sickness come up on your
sudden like pretty quick? Yeah? Okay, so are we all thinking the
same thing. We all think it's abotage. That's what I'm thinking. He's
the only one that ate at the dinner. I had coffee, but and
y'all were there for just a minute, so maybe it hit them hard,
very hard, very fast. What did you have at the dinner? He
had the breakfast noodles, French toast noodles. Is that something you have a
lot sometimes. I'm just wondering if you went into the diner and said give
me my usual, would that be what they give you? I don't know.
Okay, I start heading over to the group, So I've just kind
of been walking around, kind of searching. Hey, guys, okay,
all right, No one's hurt. I mean his stomach was. I look
over at Skiff. I'm like, you know, Skiff, the only the
biggest problem. Like, obviously it's probably not straight up food poison, and
that usually takes time, right, that takes time for your body to react.
And I don't know anybody that knew we were going to be just sitting
up there, especially with him driving. I mean, and this came on
and then left, but it was so violent. You're feeling better now,
I guess, Okay, I uh, I think when might be. I
think we're being watched. There's a vehicle around the block, too nice,
too fancy. No one'd be driving it. As soon as I saw it
pulled away, So I don't, ok ahead, I'm just done. I
don't think we're at the moment. I don't think we're as safe as we
might have thought. So Galen, we're all partners here. Like I said
before, I got your back, you've got ours. So when I ask
you this, this is this is partner confidentiality stuff. But I gotta know
you using anything, anything that might have had an adverse reaction. Does either
poisoning or it's something else. No, judgment. Man, we all cope.
I'm gonna look at Bob and UH say, yeah, in your experience,
do you think this was that could have been? Okay? Okay?
What about your friend up there? Hm, we got some useful information.
You were listening, and I don't know when your situation happened, so I'm
not sure how much you caught. Well, tell me you saw a car
that didn't make sense. It did not make sense. No, I don't
think I ever see that kind of eagle down here. I wonder if they
were listening into It's entirely possible. Who knows. We could be tapped.
Now. What I do think is we should at this point, and I
mean this genuinely, we should stick together as a squat as much as possible.
I echoed what Skiff said. We are all partners in this, so
I think it is going to be necessary that we have each other's backs.
So I do have both you Bob and Galen. I've also got your back
in this. So yeah, there's a lot going on with with my friend,
and I think there's maybe some layers that we just don't know about yet.
I think this goes much deeper than we originally thought. Next, question.
I got some ideas. Next question I have is I want to engage
your opinions on how much, if any, we share with higher ups with
the brass. I mean, we still over a report. That's the thing.
We've got to get a report in. But frankly, I'm not sure
who to trust when it comes to talking. I trust Galen. It's pretty
good about present information in a way that it's never too specific when he needs
uh, when you need it not to be. That's nothing against you two,
but it might be a good idea to go over what we have,
what we should say. I'm not one for conspiracies, but there's something that
don't feel right and well when you head of the chief designer for the Tyrail
Corporation is kidnapped, I mean there's all kinds of implications, all kinds of
threads that you could follow, ideas, theories, But whatever's happening, it
seems I hate to say it, but it's it seems like it's above our
bay grade. Even we got to do our jobs. I get it,
but this is this is shaping up to be something that might be like nation
changing stuff. And uh, we have a location of where uh Nakiyama kind
of. Nakayama was last seen the chief designer, so we could follow that,
we could do more research to see before we go in. We might
miss an opportunity to because if they get napped him, they're probably not going
to keep him any one place for too long. You know that that happened,
that abduction? Are you asking me? Okay, yes, yes,
I was. I waited. I waited for a second. Yeah, I
can't remember. There is a case report in here for you guys, I
think. Let me just double check and see if I pinned it here.
I did not pin it, but it is pinned now for you. It's
two pages. Oh wow, it's a couple of days ago. Yeah,
three four days ago? Depending? Four days? Uh? I see now
the eleventh or the twelfth now it's yeah, it's day three, I believe.
So so if I'm not mistake, and it's currently the eleventh night shift,
that's right. That sounds right. Wait, no, which is day
two? It's the start of day three now, because you guys have had
two shifts. Yeah, so this is the start of the third day.
Because on the first day the fucking premiere and all that crazy shit went down,
and then on the second day, you guys went to Tyrell Corporation,
and you guys went to Electric Dreams. You know, Selma went to to
Bob's and you know that that ended that night, and then this is the
second shift, the third shift, yeah, the third shift. Sorry,
Bill's Bill? Yes, if she showed up at your place. Yeah,
sorry, So this would be this is the twelfth and night, No,
because the show started on the eleventh, didn't it. No, the third
Yeah, so then this is the twelfth thing. Correct, Yeah, that's
correct, which means but it's still the same day that we spoke with Sawyer.
Yes, it is the same day you talked to us, Bob and
I spoke with Karen yin same day. No, it's a different day,
okay, yeah, because you guys had a shift and then you guys rested.
Yeah, and the four though, so we rested and then we I've
got an actual timeline I can okay, Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to wait, don't I didn't I already do
this in here? Hold on, I'll look it. I'll look for it
in here. But I'm pretty sure it's the third day. Yep. There
you go. It's pinned now because I have to. I would have to
edit out some stuff because my timeline has everything in it. So yeah,
so you guys went to sleep and then you guys did the electric dreams.
Selma drinks, Skiff see somebody from his past, and Selma goes to Bill.
So this is the third day and you guys decided to go to Silver
Sheen Uplink Cafe and you're working together on day three. So, and to
give you an idea, it's about because you went and saw Sawyer at around
six o'clock. You talked for about an hour's worth of time. So now
it's about seven o'clock, we'll say, so it's PM yep, because you
started the five o'clock shift. You started your shift five. Sorry to take
some time to clarify that chat, but like it's super like it's a game
with time where time matters and days passing matters because things happen with whether or
not they you know, do stuff. So yeah, clarifying what's happening when
is pretty important. So well, what I think when Skiff mentions that,
I will pull up the report on my Yeah, wow, I can't believe
I forgot the name of the divice A I A Wow, I'm just gonna
know. It just kills up. I can answer it. I know the
answer, but I don't know if what is written in Sawyer's report. So
I don't want to say anything yet. I'm so sorry. Yeah, so
I'll I'll pull up what I have and I'll just a couple of days,
I imagine. I think you're right, Skiff. I think that they are
likely to uh pull this person around from place to place, never stand in
one place for too long. But what's too long? You know? We
might we might have a window right now if we want to go take a
look. I mean I do. It's a difference. Yeah, what's the
difference A couple of hours going to make to get a report into the boss?
Oh? Yeah, I mean, hell, your vehicle just went down.
I think you might have been poisoned, Galen, and we're being watched.
I mean, this is this is urgent. I feel fired up.
I'm I'm game. Is there room enough in our in our spare for all
four of us? Uh? Oh, that's a good question. Somebody check
sit on laps. It's fine. Yeah, somebody check the book, because
I think it tells you how many you can see. I think I want
to say it by I think it's I don't think it is as I think
it's I think it's two. Alright, who's going on Salem's lap? Come
on? Okay, So I do want to clarify. I did just read
Sawyer's report that he submitted to you, and it does have that it was
technically September ninth. Well, I guess technically it would be September tenth,
yesterday, Uh lapd spin or two passengers perfect, Okay, that's good to
know. Around three or four in the morning. So it was the same
night that you guys with the premiere where the building blew up and you guys
went in like that all happened in one night. That's when they grabbed him.
Yeah. Yeah. Is there a four person vehicle outside of a spinner
out since the spinner's two or something that could read six squad So you'd have
to spend some promotion points to requid position that and you could split the cost
between you if you'd like, how much is it is that six? Six?
Uh? I'll spend some yeah, same uh yeah, uh, I'll
chip in four okay, you know what, I'll pick up the other four.
No, it's it's six oh it's six. Well, I can't do
math anyway. I'll pick up the other two go ahead, because I can't
math. No, no, there's nothing left. Yeah, i'll call it
in use whatever. So it's a connections will yep, and then you can
pay for it. No, I'll do it. Yeah, you better do
that, because that'll I will fail. Where isn't that I see that the
handout? I was just looking for it on the handout. What are you
looking for? The transport tom page one of the of the handbook? Thank
you got that? Open dispatch. This is lad Runner Galen Edwards. Can
you please put me through to the Vehicle of Requisition department? Oh yeah,
sure, can do you all right? By the way, I heard there
was a very I heard there was a spinner crash keeping it together. Okay,
well, I'm glad you're all right, hey, and I patch you
through requisition the sens later owner Galen Edwards, Huh, I'm interested in requisitioning
a new vehicle badge number B three three seven dash for one. Clearly chewing
gum, which is the thing I hate the most. One is just like
smacking in your ear, and I refuse to do it too all but just
so you know that's who you've got on the other end of this film,
somebody who is just like chomping in your ear going to need toition a spinner
squad transport. Spinner's out of commission at the moment. Ye I know.
Okay, one second, so gossipy down there, and I you know,
it's it's one of those things where you know, I'm just taking my time
as if there's no rush, and I'm just like, let me get this
folder, and I just okay, all right, do you need somebody to
deliver it or are you gonna come and pick it up? Deliver plase?
Okay, I just need your location. I seem to give them our location.
Okay, be there in about fifteen minutes, maybe maybe twenty. Takes
probably forty five minutes for it to arrive because there's the traffic from the crash
and all that stuff. But you do get your you do get your vehicle
that you guys are now in charge of. So whoever's driving you can't drive.
Yeah, I know, Bob, it's all the same as y'all drive.
It's a maneuverability b vehicle. By the way, Oh does that mean
you said it as such? In the vehicle section. All right, just
taking timeline notes. So it's about eight fifteen right now, as you've got
your vehicle now and you've been standing on the street talking and kind of like
watching the cleanup and stuff like that, and all right, we're to now.
I think the plan is we're going to make our way to the last
known location Bennet's communication. Okay, yep, yep, Okay, awesome,
So I need you don't need to make a driving role when you're just doing
standard stuff. But what I would like is a stealth role, because I
assume you're being sneaky about it. Everybody. Nope, just you guys.
Can choose one person to roll stealth and one person to roll your observation,
and it'll be the stat for the whole car. I'll roll observation. Okay,
well, I'm not terrible. I think that was driving roll if we're
all in the car using the car just to be stealthy. But like,
if you want to do driving, I'm sorry, how stealthy can we possibly
be if we're in a big squad transport. That's a very good question.
Just to be clear, this isn't a giant vehicle. This is a spinner.
Still it's just a bigger one. Yeah, but but it is regular
yep, yeah, but it could be standard patrol, et cetera. You
guys could go around the whole couple of blocks before you hit this block,
you know, you could. You could make it seem routine if you wanted
to. So, if you want, we can do driving or we can
do stealth. It's up to you, guys. Whatever you feel is stronger.
Well, I got and driving and be in maneuverability now, so yeah,
okay, go for it. So driving driving it is go ahead and
roll driving and then I'm awesome. Oh wow, yeah, every success is
so like have you thought about that Nascar? I'm waving out of the side
like the queen like, hey, okay, And then did you want to
roll? Another observation Selma, Yes, if you want, it's totally up
to you. But yes, that is okay, all right, let me
roll here. Oh okay, that is a that is a zero. Okay,
all right, that's okay. You guys, you're doing great, doing
great? Yeah, okay, So what you do notice as you are driving
this spinner? Actually before I how you what you notice? Can you tell
me what you're looking at? Because that will help me narrow down what information
to give you. I mean, I rolled a zero, so I imagine,
Oh sorry, no, that's right. I'm discussing it with you guys
like this, this was the last known location. This is not the destination
necessarily. So if that's the case, then we are looking for logical places
from this point to where they would take someone they didn't want to be found,
and they themselves didn't want to be found either. You know. So
if there's like a abandoned part of town, if there is a well,
we don't we don't know any like the connections of what is Do we have
a file on Broaderick Wakeman, who was seen giving stuff to Na Giama.
I'm going to say that you do because you're you're accessing it through the you're
acting accessing it through your k I A. Oh what even says in the
report? It says Project Wakeman, rapsheet and other credentials attached below. Yep.
Okay, So we want to know like last known associates, last known
places of residence. Okay, probably want to know like did he work for
somebody? Did he do it? Like any work for anybody? Like that's
close to this area, that kind of stuff. So he is known to
frequent a few different clubs kind of on I believe the lower levels, oh
the snake bit, And he's one of those criminals that you have on record
where you know exactly what he's doing at any given moment. You guys can
squeeze him when you need to, but you pretty much let him do his
thing because he ends up leading you to probably more valuable information for the higher
ranking targets that you guys want to hit or bring in. Is he a
low level thug or is he like higher up? I think he's like I
wouldn't say he's a low level thug, but he's also not as important as
most of the people most of the gangs running around like. It's like him
and maybe four or five other people in his crew, and he deals a
very specific type of narcotics and you guys kind of look the other way because
of who he usually deals to. It's his contacts that make him exceptional,
not necessarily his h his standing, but it's not really known if he works
for anybody. I think you guys probably are trying to figure that out.
It seems to change, Okay, are any of those now Wakeman was just
seen with Nakiama, not during the like he wasn't a part of the abducting
crew. That is correct. Okay, since I rolled a zero, I
am just restringing the shoelaces in my sneakers because I can't concentrate on anything.
So I mean, we can say that that's absolutely yeah, that's a good
idea. Also we can say that this is when you remember that you have
to pay your tab and you're just like, yep, oh, Skiff,
are you getting sick? No? No, no, I just God blessed
we were just there. I forgot to pay my tab at the club.
One of the reasons I went, I'm not sure how far away we are.
But that's forgot about that too. Problem for another time. They'll they'll
keep outrust me for another time. Oh but I said, I would,
you know, I don't want to be that person, but I guess I'm
that person today. Well, back to shoelaces. Big tip goes a long
way. Just say that, Okay, Thanksgiff. All right, back to
shoelaces now a brand new sentence. I'm looking to see, like any any
last known locations where either Roderick Weigman does he have any any haunts around here
yep? Or or and or is there like a place if like if I
put myself into the shoes of the kidnapper yep, and I didn't have like
a safe house set up in the suburbs somewhere, where would I take somebody
in this area from or from this point? Right? Okay? So if
you look at the in your book or in the PDF, the map is
accurate, and I can show you where we were. So the the snake
pit is listed here on the map somewhere yep. Okay, all the way
in sector one. So there's the snake pit, yep. And then so
he followed from the snake pit all the way down towards Tyrell, past Tyrell
and lost somewhere around here right above the four and sector four. So now
you are in the corporate industrial section of town, where there's like, you
know, it's offices, it's rich offices. Well, I mean, in
this world you've got like you can have slums and people living on the lower
levels, and then the higher up you get it becomes very fancy offices.
So it's kind of hard to tell, you know where. There's a lot
of variance here. So I think based on the location that Sewyer gave you
or that's listed in the report, is like right past the Tyrell Corporation entrance,
almost like maybe they were dropping him off at work, but they didn't
stop there. They continued going and then Sewyer lost him. But it would
be in the corporate sector, not in some sort of slums or warehouses or
anything like that. That's where he lost him. Okay. Now, the
the surveillance footage that we've seen, that that that our c I gave us
Sawyer, Yeah, is that because my idea is to call call in to
the to the office, to the station and ask for surveillance footage of this
corner if there is any I mean it's corporates. I'm guessing there is,
but surveillance footage from this corner from the night of September ninth, September tenth,
and see if we can get a direction of where they were headed yep,
yep, okay from here yep okay. So call that I do.
Is that cool? I mean, I just want to know that it is
plausible. Yes, Okay. So the thing is, and we are going
to decide right now what priority it was to reinstall city cameras because when the
blackout happened, you lost all network, so there aren't really CCTV stuff going
on, and at least in some areas there aren't. It's only been two
or three years and we're talking like the absolute crash that happened was you know,
people lost their finances overnight. Like, I don't know how much CCTV
would be a priority for the city. I'm gonna let you guys decide,
or we can roll for it. I have a like, you know,
divide and conquer kind of thing. Yeah, so I looked as I looked
at Selma. I'm not, like, you know, just talking to her,
but I'm you know, so my idea or my plan of action I
think should be you, uh, Selma, call in check and see if
any of the any of these CCTVs cameras around here have been reinstated since the
blackout, and if there is, great see if the check for the night
of the ninth tenth, see if any the if we can put a beat
on that the car with Nakiyama in it. M I am going to I
haven't done old fashioned police work in a long time, but I'm gonna go
start knocking on doors and see if anybody saw anything that night. Okay,
cool, I can. I'm saying for the CCTV stuff, depending on the
location of the explosion a pop that would cause any issue, it would be
a strictly hardware issue. Lines run would be fine, but the hardware at
the endpoints wouldn't be. So the further away from wherever this happened, the
more likely there could be CCTV still running. But that's without the infrastructure to
take it in. Yeah, and according that it's not going to be a
huge priority. Yeah. Well, so there is lore in the book saying
that you do get a network back, but it's not for another five years.
So I think we're maybe if you've got a certain I think it's privatized.
That's probably what it is. So corporations that want to piggyback off of
the old CCTV and get it running and just have their own security system set
up for their corporate building, then absolutely so you would probably have to go
knocking on these corporate buildings and be like, hey, can we take a
look at your footage? Okay, that's good, Yeah, I like that.
Yeah. So it's it's all just islands of CCTV and you just hope
to get access to it if people allow it. Okay, are we so
with with the door knocking and whatnot? Are we driving in that direction right
now towards the the snake pit? I think you guys know you're you're all
the way in the industrial corporate yeah, corporate section sector four, snake pits
all the way in sector one. Yeah. No, No, I just
didn't know if we were going to investigating the scene first, as that what
you're getting it. Yeah, I think he was going to knock around see
if anybody saw your location of the of the abducted Nakiyama. That's the most
pertinent thing, and then if we come up empty here, then we head
to the snake pit. Oh. I thought the snake pit was the last
note location. I'm sorry, that's where he was grabbed from and where he
was grabbed. Yeah, last note location was Benet's communication and this communication,
thank you? Yeah, all right, Benic. Can I see it from
this intersection here? Oh yeah, absolutely, it's a very large building.
Okay, And we're going to go ahead and say that they do have CCTV
or their own security system their communications, so why not they definitely do that
nast question yep, Okay, so communications company, he thinks, right,
they absolutely probably do. Okay, so do you want to roll? What
would you like to roll to see if you can get this access to this
because my first thought was like tech, like, they give you access to
the CCTV and I'll just let you guys roll tech. But also we could
do observation. But I'm open to suggestions or other offers. M I'd go
with the tech role, or honestly that's just because I'm a little biased.
Let's do it, hey, going kind of door to door for uh,
calling people. I think what I would do is I would probably do some
kind of a manipulation role, Okay, just because I'm going to be sort
of using the blade runner status as prohibition. Yeah, and people are terrified
to be considered as an aiding in a bedding because they could be killed as
well. Okay, so we do have a successful tech role. So I'm
going to go ahead and say that you do absolutely pull up some footage.
It's not it's a static cam on the corner of the building basically to just
see, you know, what people are doing around maybe the entrance. This
is about. This is several stories up, so I'm trying to figure out
there's no sidewalk to be watching, But it's I guess, just one of
those corners of a busier intersection. Maybe a lot of the parking garages for
the corporate levels are here. But you absolutely do clock the car, and
you clock Sawyer's spinner following shortly after, and it looks like they head north.
So they go, They continue on out of frame, heading north,
and then Sawyer shows up and then turns right, and you can tell that
he's lost them at that point, but you're able to see that they continue
going north. All right? Does this buildings on the map? Are those
north of the map? Are all three buildings Wallace Corporation? Yes? Yes?
Does the vehicle that Sawyer's tailing does it look anything like the vehicles that
I saw? Yes when we were okay, so it looks like the one
at Silver Shine yep. Okay, all right, well that's not only machine.
It would have been downstairs when they crashed down down Okay, got it,
got it? Got it? So that this was I think the vehicle
that I saw earlier. That's it's got to be gotta be something there that's
just more than coincidence. Well, and since since we got it on on
CCTV, are there any markings on the vehicle? Nope, any distinguishing marks,
No distinguishing marks. However, you did have a license plate from Sawyer,
but I want to be explicitly clear, you'd have to run it.
You'd have to run it through the system. Here's a question. Didn't get
any visuals on the potential suspects, No, everyone was in the vehicle,
windows tinted. Nothing from the CCTV. However, Sawyer give you a photo
that he took himself with his Kia, which I can drop in the discord
for you. Okay. I love all the pieces you guys are having,
are putting together. Dude, it's a circle. Okay, Okay. I
can't believe I forgot my tab again again? How do these things happen?
People still drink that? What? Oh? Are you talking about? Tab
like tad Noel's tab like the bar like the bar tab tab? Are you
feeling okay? Galen? Are you all right? Do you need to sit
down? Are you sitting down? Okay? That's his when we're in a
car, I assume I would be sitting down. You better be sitting down.
The car that is shown. Is it of any particular make and model
that would be rare, not painfully rare. Just it's not a junker,
right, it's nicely it's not a junker. Or does it look like a
corporate car, which would be a thing. It doesn't necessarily mean that it
is tied to a corporation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there are I
have an answer for you, and I think everyone would know this. There
are a lot of services where it's like corporate limousine services where they take you
to and from work so you don't have to drive, and it's incredibly popular.
Uh, and this one looks like a higher end one that like,
you know, the CEO might be driven to work in. It's like corporate
uber. Yeah, pretty much sort of, but like, yeah, there's
a lot that the drivers would have to go to blah blah blah to be
vetted and all that. So so possible. Oh go ahead, I'm sorry,
I finish your thought. I'm just going to say it's possible that this
could have been rented and driven through that area. If there's any records kept
of a business or an organization that do that does rent out these cars,
we might be able to find out where it came from and who got it.
Uh. This image that we have, this was taken by whom Sawyer
when he was tailing them. Yep, Okay, was there any Were there
any stops that were made along the way? Do we know that? M
I can double check and read the report, but basically, I'm not going
to tell you anything that wasn't in that report that Sawyer gave you. Okay,
just to cover my own ass. Suspects addressed casually number three in total,
and adhered strictly to a work roda, indicating some manner of professional training.
Initial assumptions were that these were hired security and I'm just reading this out
by the way, I'm going over the report as we're trying to do this.
We're hired security employed by Tyrrell or Nakayama to serve in a plane clothes
capacity. Further surveillance indicated that Nakayama's lack of acknowledgment said suspects was due to
possessing no awareness of their presence rather than ambivalence, leading to see documenting their
se is Sawyer Okay, Yeah, he reacted. Yeah, he redacted his
name from the report, right, Okay, So you're documenting their descriptions with
digital images attached to this case file. Sawyer notes the precision, fastidiousness,
and overall competence of the suspects to be of grave concern. I think it's
possible that we can talk to some of the business owners down on the ground
floor. They might have seen something. If you notice here, and I'm
going to point at the picture, there's a very bright green outfit that this
suspect and blonde is wearing. It stands out quite a bit. They might
have seen them. I got a question. Let me see if I can
form this. Right, we have a we have a license plate, but
it is We've not run it, but we do have it. Right,
that's correct. What is it? I would have asked it is in the
case report, but let me just double check, because if it's not in
the case report, then I redact my statement. Stupid question, Yes,
stupid answer. Let's go our suspect, Emerald. This, uh, this
blonde woman wearing green? I mean is this do we have I can see
on the picture. I mean we kind of have a profile there. Yes,
we have a clear profile this person. Yes, I mean I'll show
it to Selma and I'll show it to Skiff. Yeah, Skiff's already seen
it. Yeah, stupid question. Do we recognize any of these people?
M I really certainly answer to that is at least a at least a yes
on my part. Right, the blonde narrator, Yes, yep, blonde
blonde, the blonde woman actually, sorry, Emerald, I guess as she's
referred to. That's uh, that's the girl, that's the one. Yeah,
well, you guys also recognize the blonde male as as Tyson Renzo.
Yeah, okay, hey, and Tyson Renzo mm hmmmmm. When Skiff says
that, I'll just make a reference from your story, you told us this
is who you're talking about. Yeah, okay, okay. Also, I'm
not seeing a license light in the case report, and I redact my statement.
I'm so sorry, shit, because I was going to ask looking at
it considering that there's an uber service of some sort, so usually there's some
sort of qualifier that goes along with that sort of stuff if it's a registered
business, just like just like calves. Damn it. It's okay. I
am actually on the line with Flick right now, and Flick says, it's
in the report, so you do have the license plate number. Okay,
I thought so, but let me just not seeing it, let me just
double triple check. I also thought it was in there. It might be
listed strangely on the night of surveillance KA twenty four. I don't know what
that is. That just representative of I mean, a hold on, I
have to be so careful. I'm so sorry. No, that's no,
absolutely, of course. Yeah, yeah it is in here. It does.
It says loading and into waiting spinner designation S one w C eight three
two one KK registered under personal use note run plates via h Q database A
S A P. I do not see that. I don't see that either.
There are two pages of the report, Yeah there's oh right, oh
okay, yeah, well so I pinned the first page and then you'd look
at the second one. Yeah, okay, okay, all right, So
here's my question. You want to give us a second page. It is
in the discord. Just just pin it just in the second page as well.
There you go. So my question is looking at this designation, is
it is it noticeable? Any sort of qualifying qualifying numbers, letters come nation,
whatever that would be. This is a commercial vehicle. We we to
some degree would know the difference between the civilian vehicle and a commercial vehicle.
Well, it is registered for personal Uh I see that right, serve for
personal use. Yeah, so I think, But again it is very similar
to what you would see as a corporate the corporate uber service. So it's
so it couldn't and so that could be a dead end. Yeah, all
right, I appreciate that thing. Yeah, yep. Well, from what
the report says, they're well practiced in their movements and difficult to notice.
That doesn't mean that they weren't noticed. However, if we checked the cams
and we didn't see them beyond a certain point, maybe it's time that we
start asking some questions to some people down on the ground with without any real
reason not to. Uh Can I can I run this through my KA or
do I need to call this uh no, through that everyone knows we'll run
to. Well, yes and no. So I'm trying to think about just
normal day to day operations. Running a plate in a in a city with
a thousand cars wouldn't be a huge issue. With a more defined like infrastructure
and technology, that would be an issue. But everything's been lost. Most
things are on paper now. So that being said, yes, running this
would probably pop up to some degree, but I don't. I am wondering
do I do that through the KA or would I call that in either You
can do either, but you would have to connect your your KI to the
mainframe purposefully to do that, which is fine, like nothing is gonna,
you know, happen to you or anything like that, but like you would
upload, you would connect to the mainframe to upload your reports or whatever the
case may be. But it's a conscious thing that you would be doing,
and then you would be running that plate through your your KA. Okay,
yep, I was just wondering. I am not doing that. I am
also very suspicious of everything going on because there's too many what the fuck moments?
Okay, well, yeah, so we are still in the vehicle,
rent, We're just we're just cruising and I'm assuming you guys kept going north
to see what there is to see. But skiff hit the nail on the
head where it's mostly buildings until it leads all the way to Wallace Corporation.
Okay, there are probably a few other corporate buildings of note that stand out
to you on the way to and from. It's like this is like Hollywood
Boulevard of corporations, right, you've got you know Tyrell, and then the
further away from Tyrell you go it's a little bit more unknown. So what
is what is Wallace Corporations? Like a bag? I yes, I do.
Right now, they're only yeah, they're only known for well, actually
it's not even farming yet. It's like the beginning of farming but they're they
do patents right now, So yeah, it's and they're not well known yet.
They're kind of a little bit more underground at the moment. So when
you were like, are all three of those buildings Wallace, and I was
like, yes, that's because they are in this map. But this is
twenty thirty seven, so we're gonna redact that and say there's maybe one building
that's Wallace Core right now. Yeah, all right, they get they end
up having the patent for something that solves the food crisis. So in two
years from now, they're gonna be big because they helped solve a food shortage
with a with a beam. I think it's something that they can grow.
But yeah, so they would be working on that and developing that right now.
So probably the further they get you get, the more farmland. You
start to see in that in that video that we saw of this intersection,
were they proceeding at like a rapid pace or were they like a bang?
Okay, yeah, so militaristic like they were gonna be fucking noticed. Then
yeap, they're calculated and yeah, well, given with what we've seen from
the security cameras from Bennett, they weren't breaking any laws. They weren't standing
out anyway. And that type of vehicle is pretty commonplace around here. It
seems like a rental from a fleet. They might even have a fleet of
these. So I don't know if checking around here is going to bear any
fruit if we talk to people, I don't know if they were doing anything
noticeable. Also, if I'm not mistaken, this is that they came through
here early in the morning. I think the case file said somewhere around one
thirty am or something like that. One is when the deal went down at
the Snake Bit. So from here to there it's more even more time.
So people are up, but in the business sector not too many. So
my idea or I think the next course of action that we should take is
go to the snake Bit, check around for Breckman broad Rick, check around
for Broaderick Wakeman, see if he knows anything, and maybe try and run
that plate without raising too many flags. I think the only way of really
doing that is back at the station itself. We might be able to get
away with it, but remotely, I might have a way, all right,
I'll I mean, I wonder you're gonna have to meet with the captain.
Yeah, most definitely to get our ducks in the row. I want
to do that first before we head to the snake bit. Yeah, yeah,
probably, yeah, because I would say, like you, you just
had an accident in the vehicle, and yeah, I think there's no getting
out of it now if you if you don't find him, he's gonna find
you. Yeah, Okay, Okay, that's not ominous. Great, Well,
I just mean it's kind of a big deal. So I think he's
gonna it's gonna be one of those situations like you're lose can yeah. Yeah,
yeah, Like, depending on depending on how the conversation goes, there
might be some demotion points or whatever that happens there when you you lose some
promotion points or whatever it is. There's a mechanic ford in the game when
you get showed out by your boss. Uh so that would be really good.
Okay, badging gun on the on the desk guy, that is a
positive. You can you can lose your badge in your gun and you can
choose to wait out your your suspension or you can continue to work as you're
suspended. So that's pretty cool. But yeah, okay, so let's go
ahead and head back to headquarters, which is in uh sector five at the
moment, So you guys, head down. We're reporting reporting to Gaff,
not anymore. Yep, you're reporting directly to hold In. And for those
of you who have seen the first film, which is not a requirement at
all by any means for this story, but if you have, Holden is
the guy in the very first scene interviewing the replicant that gets shot as he's
interviewing this replicant and they end up, you know, giving him and iron
lung and they call him iron Lung and he's just like, he's a hunter
through and through. He hates replicans. He won't stop until he's dead.
And he has now been promoted. So yeah, yes, they're rep with
a mustache. Leon I believe his name was so on our way back,
I imagine we're going to try and compare notes, try and figure out what
we're going to say, how we're going to say it, and who's going
to say what. So let's go back a couple of days through the bomb
and let's start from there. Hold On, I'm actually gonna take my headphones
off because I'm playing Holden, and I don't want to hear your plan?
Is that? Okay? Hey, wave at me when you're done. Yeah,
you stop that way? All right? All right, I've got my
Kia up, I'm looking at little bits of notes that I've taken, and
I guess we just just start talking about our what we've done, what we've
seen. So before the explosion, you two, you were up the street
a fair amount on you were taking somebody out, is that right? Yeah,
we were on a completely different lead. We were looking for Cory Rosick,
who was legally developing ad halos yep. And then we heard your sos
and we came to help, right, which we did call out. He
asked for assistance, and y'all arrived very promptly. We engaged the subject at
his apartment. He was resistant, He was resistant, Galen, what do
we say? He was violent? Well? I think that goes without saying.
Yeah, I'm just saying before the bomb went off. Before the bomb
went off, we can say that there was heavy suspicion, heavy suspicion.
We were unaware of the status of the interior of the apartment. Tried to
find a way inside without alerting the suspect. Upon upon quite in him and
I'm I'm I'm sort of directing this, directing this towards Selmone Skiff. So
upon Galen Uh. We talked to him first, got him to open the
door. I presented myself as a law officer, and we had gotten some
information that report that he would tell memory the same way we had it Verbadan
written down. So I asked him, and he gave me that uh memory.
His whole tone changed his his a meaner change, and he told it
in a very sort of vibrant way, even though he was definitely in a
very stressful situation. I stopped him halfway, told him that he was under
arrest. He slammed the door. I attempted to shoot through the door with
the assumption that he was a replicant. There was a noise from inside.
Ure Sure, I hit him, but there was no way to know,
couldn't pop the door. At that point we both started running. At which
point did we were we aware of a potential explosive device? Uh? The
suspect announced it with no visual the interior the apartment or any way of getting
into it. We Galen followed procedure to attempt an evacuation as best it could
be done. We both made it down to the street, got into our
spinner. At this point, I believe y'all had vigil at some point,
is that right? Yep? Selmom proceeded to contact whoever possible and let every
body known to evacuated as well, right right, got the megaphone out.
We had a couple of couple of suspects. Actually, uh, we had
to reprehend. I'm pretty sure I decked one of them. I don't know.
It's been a lot of affiliation an affiliated it was ever ever Castilian,
that's right, that's right, No relation to this to this case. He
just happened to be in the area. But a known entity, yes,
a very known entity. Okay, you decked them, we clocked, we
clocked the Uh. Yeah, this this has no bearing on the case itself.
It's just what happened. We were accosted by some thugs. We dealt
with them. We clocked the replicant jumping from one building the building that he
was in to the next building over. Lost him there because we could not
pursue. The evacuation happened, and then shortly they're off after the explosion.
All right, we also confirmed that none of us have had any bomb diffusal
training. That is important to say. All right, we both left in
an attempt to go to one of their known locations, and that's when things
got explosive. Yeah. Oh, we are back at headquarters and you have
walked sort of directly to Holden's office. He is there, and when you
enter in, he was very much like good I wanted to talk to you
anyway. He's very very well dressed stern. It's very hard to kind of
either if he likes you or doesn't like you, to be honest, he's
very to the point, all business almost always, and I don't think I
don't think he really laughs at jokes either. I'm trying to think of other
interactions you may have had with him. He's usually the first person to speak
up with a little bit of bold plans off the wall a little bit.
It's clear that he will bend protocol to get the job done and he hates
replicans. So that's it. Okay, So we are now here. You
all are standing at attention, probably right in front of him, and he
is looking at the report that you have submitted, kind of glancing it over,
and then he looks up and who's we're gonna say that? It's going
Galen, Bob, Skiff and Selma like you guys are standing in your units.
Okay, all right, perfect, So pull this up here. So
you two, you four were working together before the report came in, Yes,
sir, And what were you two doing? Any points to Team Mastiff,
which is Selma and Skiff. They're Crane, I believe. Oh yeah,
you're right there, Crane, you're Mastiff. Yep. What were you
doing, Team Crane? Were you canvassing someone? We were yeah, uh
steak out yep, looking for a suspect in a illegally developing at Halo's court.
Rosick. We had just begun our shift and we were notified by the
other team of a situation and the required aid. We were close. Okay,
when did you find out about the bomb? We found out about the
bomb right after the suspect the replican that we were there too to retire,
slammed the door in our face and told us that there was told us about
the bomb. We had no real information on the bomb. I had asked
the rest of the team if anyone had any bomb difusal training. Bob shot
through the door, managed to wound the replicant, and we followed evacuation procedures
in the building to the best of our ability, proceeded to exit the building
and hunt the replicant. A replicant has been identified as Tyson Morenzo on the
report. Okay, he blew up, he was responsible for the bomb,
that is correct? Her, all right, explain to me how you got
from bomb in the apartments to the morgue. What happened down there in the
Morge, sir, Yes, that actually comes down to information we received from
Lieutenant Gaff that there were some bodies on the slab down there that matched the
description and made some comments about them being not in sixes but potentially better than
models. But we went to go confirm for ourselves. We entered the morgue
and saw both of them on the slab. The the there the location was
empty of anybody, say for the two bodies on the slab. We investigated
the bodies themselves close ah and I turned to Galen. A bunch of things
happened simultaneously. When the investigation, the initial investigation of the body took place,
I reached out to try and find the the well the the staff at
the time, Mildred reached out to dispatch. Dispatch said that she was down
the hall. Went to investigate. Found Mildred dead in the hall. Okay,
it was actually around this time that I noticed that one of the replicants
on the table that was meant to be dead appeared to be breathing. I
called out to my partner in a way that he would recognize that something was
wrong. And at that point I stood in a position to not be noticed
by the replicants if they happened to look, and I pulled on a firearm
and I held it on them and continued to make some conversation outwardly to indicate
that there was a situation. We communicated with each other as best we could
as to not give away our intentions to the replicans. Selma and myself then
investigated further down the hallway to see if there were any replicants aside from the
two on the slab. We to check the area and Selma had noticed that
there was someone moving around inside storage okay, inside the records. So did
we apprehend who was inside storage? No, sir. We contacted dispatch.
Some had discovered that there was in fact a bomb that was being planted.
We had to act with haste and we breached the door and there was an
exchange. Bob was injured, but in the process he put down the replicant.
Some double tapped. This is all happening after shots fired inside the the
actual MORG area where the two replicants were caught breathing. Bob and Skiff both
fired in tandem and put them down. So we talked of Kelispell was able
to, oh, I apologize, Captain. We have four dead replicants.
Are these bombs connected? There are three dead replicants, the other as as
as per lit higher up on the report there. The other one was able
to hop across the buildings. I look over at Skiff. Yeah, we
were outside waiting as backup. We had a little inconsequential scuffle with some with
some street elements, but we noticed the replican suspect jumping from one building to
the other building and we could not pursue, so the suspect escaped. We
then convened afterwards and eventually we ended up in the morgue. I was made
aware through nonverbal signals that that there was a tense situation, and I came
to understand that the two replicants on the table might not have been retired fully.
So Detective Wyndham and I drew our weapons, took to simultaneous kill shots,
and when to reconvene with the other UH with detect Whitaker and Edwards at
the files room. So we have three dead replicants and one that got away.
Are these bombs connected, it would appear so they all are the same
model replicant, same look, same hair, same everything. It came off
an assembly line which we were able to follow up with Kail. Yeah,
we were able to follow up with the Tyro Corporation. They give us information
about their markings. Yes, we came back to the morgue. The replicant
I retired did still have the ocular cavity was undamaged. We were able to
use a device that the morgue has the drill numbers in your report, they
are all three. Now the other two were damaged beyond recognition from the angle
of fire between detective account Spell and myself. So, how many serial numbers
do I have in this report? One? And you talked to tyrol?
Did they give you any information with the serial number? Due to the issues
surrounding the loss of servers and information, there was some contention about the ability
you give us much information. Yes, yes, sir, all right,
who did you deal with their public relations? Karen and Oll? Make a
call? Where are you now? We have a few leads to continue to
follow up. There's some more information in the file of what we've received.
However, we are not sure what is potentially red herrings. Think my face
drops a little bit. Narrator can ask a question, yes, yeah,
can. I have been observing Old in the entire time. I'm curious what
hit? What is his demeanor? Are his hands folded? Is he doing
something with his hands? Are looking directly right now? And yeah, he's
looking directly. He seems to like he's listening. But just as I've been
our peeing, he's interrupting when he feels like he more certain information. Yep,
yeah, I caught that. I caught that. He seems to be
stopping us as we're talking here, so I just wanted to check in.
Yep. I just feel that it's important to take note here, sir.
Things could have been much worse had it not been for everyone's actions, specifically
Bob, Skiff and Selma were imperative to the entire process of protecting the well
the precincts. What about you, you weren't I think that I think that
I was able to help, sir, but I feel that it's important to
mention that they went above and beyond right noted, sir, Sir Galen's behavior
throughout this entire ordeal has been exemporary, if I may put that on the
record. He does not react this way, but like my god, I
was not executed. Just fucking could go for back for him. Okay,
cool, cool, cool, Okay, Sorry. I do not have any
physical reaction except I am looking. My eyes are locked on you, Skiff,
and I'm like searching your face to see if you're bull of shit or
if you're telling the truth. All right, So do we think Tyrell is
involved in this? Is tyrell a lead? I think Tyrell is worried about
covering their own ass, Sir. Yeah, course that is a big day
for them, a big day for burning documents. As we noted in the
report, there was a lot of there was a flurry of activity, and
it didn't seem anything other than potential destruction of documents. We have reason to
believe that they're destroying documents. Yes, yeah, all right, I'll send
a team over anything else? Yes, actually, oh go ahead, go
ahead. We're not going to let this go, sir, We'll get Renzo.
I would expect nothing less. We are. I was just gonna say,
were of following up on a mister Nakayama was abducted several days ago.
I'm sorry, Ceo. Nakayama of Tyrell was abducted. Yes, when was
this three days ago? It wasn't three days ago? Oh yeah it was,
yes, it was have been the night yeah, the night of the
thing. Okay, okay, And how do you know this? We have
received some information through CIS, but do not wish to divulge the information or
the source. But they're reliable. We believe so absolutely. Is this in
the report? No? No, why not? We don't know who we
can trust. What do you mean, sir? We have reason to believe
that the Department has been breached by replicants. We're not entirely sure here.
We don't know to what degree, and we don't or no position to accuse
or no position to the information that we have is in concrete. Everything right
now is circumstantial at best. However, there's very real events that have taken
place. What do we have a bomb? We have two bombs, one
that's gone off and one that hasn't in a very secure building. Is that
it? And an individual that seems to have come off an assembly line along
with a few you others. You think someone here gave them access? I
think it's life. Doesn't make any sense otherwise, sir, Do you have
any suspects? Not as yet? No. Have you told anyone else?
No? No, don't. It stays here, and I want to report
directly from you, not in writing, sir. Anything else, Yes,
sir, sir, if you'll permit me go on. We have to know
that we can trust you. I'm going to take out the light. I'm
gonna say, can you look up into the left please? Sir? Holy
shit, I need you to roll because this is the most insulting thing.
Holy shit, dude, I love this. Please succeed, roll whatever you
want. But your highest sash manipulation. Yeah, oh my god, wow,
okay, you got you got a poor dude that's like this is insane,
double crit Okay. So I think we see like there is no hiding
the absolute disgust on his face, like you just insulted him to the nth
degree, and he like he takes a yep I stare without blinking. Yeah,
he takes a large breath in and you can kind of hear the hiss
from his iron lung. Uh and he pauses, and there, you know,
you see Galen and Holden kind of in a death stare almost for a
minute, like who is gonna break first? And he doesn't move. He
just moves his eyes up and to the left. Do I see a number?
There is no number. Apologies, sir, it's all right. I'd
probably do the same who we can trust. We think there might have been
some kind of code something they were trying to destroy. We don't know.
We know it was a replicant code something, some script, some language.
I don't have a legend for it. I've been trying to figure it out.
There's a So we think quite a bit, sir, they were trying
to get into the storeroom to destroy something that we had, and you think
somebody on the inside tip them off to it. Yes, okay, yes,
all right, let's talk about what happened about an hour ago. I
have a destroyed spinner. Irreupable? What happened? Ah, that was my
fault, sir. I lost control of the vehicle. Why. I believe
it was some kind of food poisoning. Sir. The look on my face
now is are you for real? But then he leans back and oh,
I'm trying to decide you roll the four dude. I'm gonna let that hold
for the remainder of the scene. I sigh, and then I tap the
report and look at you and then look at the door. I'll talk to
you all later. Good luck, Yes, sir, thanky, sir,
you guys can have some promotion points after that because of this success, uh
successful reporting that you did to Holden. He was quite pleased. So yeah,
you guys can get I'm actually just gonna go ahead and give you ten
each for that. It was really solid. Plus uh bal en rolled that
for for manipulate and uh yeah that's insane. Yeah, it's absolutely same.
So I'm just gonna give you the max amount Yeah, it was very ballsy
play. But wow, holy shit, dude, I think understand how serious
it was. But you also played on his hatred of replicants right, like
he would do that. He would be so upset, you know, you
know, dogged, like I'm gonna hunt them down, that he would do
it to his boss. So you got him in a good way. That's
her heart. So I brought up Nakayama. But I have to assume we
had not discussed this at all, whether or not, so we left it
out. We left it out of the report. You did report. Yeah,
and I'm gonna leave I'm just putting that out there. Yeah. Well,
I I was under the impression that we were keeping that quiet on purpose.
Oh okay, all right, which is why I did this entire thing
with with Captain Yep, okay, that's perfect. But now I believe there
will be a missing persons report filed in the office for him, which is
fine. I have to roll to see if Holden is going to do it
or not. You might have a day or two where he just lets it
sit on his desk. Uh, do you want to day have it?
Now? Roll a one D three. Let me take a look. So
it is day three. It is September eleventh. So technically, like on
the ninth, you episode one the premiere, you spent one hour of it
in the ninth of September, and then it ticked over midnight to be the
tenth, which was the day though of the premiere. Okay, and I
just mean, like, what day of the week. Oh, oh geez,
let's find out. I guess we can just look at a calendar here,
it's twenty twenty three. Let's see, ninth is a Saturday. Okay,
ninth is a Saturday. I had a Monday, and eleventh is a
Monday. Yep, Okay, okay, okay, now what do you do?
Are we all out of the office if you like? Yeah? I
think that was decidedly better than I was anticipating. I mean, I don't
know about y'all, but I was pretty tense asking the goddamn chief check his
serial number. I might not have shown it in there, but my asshole,
bucker, like you put a coal in there, you would have got
a diamond purdy balsy. We had to let the chief know that we mean
business. Glad of work would be visiting you, carding a hot dogs can
maybe maybe all, we got work to do. I need some coffee.
I'm just gonna go grab a cup. I just need to think on just
a little bit. And do we want to reconvene somewhere. I mean,
we're gonna run that plate? Yeah yeah, well yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think that's probably for the best. Do I want to put that
directly into like my kia or I mean, because I know that's going to
put in the system, right narrator, Yes, it is, uh,
And I will just be you're already thinking it, so I will just confirm
you. Your options are to upload it through your own KA, to use
someone else's computer, or your terminal. Okay, maybe we asked the chief
the best way to do this without yeah, drawn too many eyes, I'll
ask you yep, Okay, okay, all right, I'm gonna let that
for manipulation still stand. It's the highest role I think we've seen the entire
game so far. So when you walk back into the office, he just
looks up at you and you ask him you know which way to do it,
and he holds out his hand for the number. I give him the
record and I'll send the information to your terminal. Okay, I thank you.
Sir, that was integral. So everyone can take a fucking humanity point
right now. That was a really big deal. Just take it now,
humanity and the other one. Take one each for that emotion. Yeah,
well is it promotion and then humanity? Yes, both of those? Yep.
Okay, you can get some level ups after this. Okay. Yeah,
running the license was integral. The fact that you did it through Holden
it was integral because you could have run it through your own ka. You
could have done it on someone's terminal, your own terminal. You could have
had Natalie do it, Like, there's a lot that you could have done
that would have see if Natalie can do it on the sly. Yeah,
there was a lot, yeah exactly. Okay, so that did something.
I'm not saying it's necessarily like supreme good or bad, but it was important.
Okay, So now what would you like to do. I'm just gonna
have a little coffee. Are gonna give you back another spinner? There?
Galen, you think, what's uh? You know we're going to take the
squad. We'll take the squad spinner. Yeah, already, requisition did fair
enough. And I gotta be honest with you, I don't really feel like
driving very much. I always feel like driving. I'm fine, all right,
thinking when you went to go get your coffee, what are you thinking
about? Oh ah, Sawyer thinking about it if he's okay. I'm wondering
who the person with the beanie is because that's also you know, it's a
piece of that triangle, right. So I'm thinking about Skiff's relation to uh
Emerald and how Tyson just seems to be shown up every every damn place where
there's trouble. I don't know how they how many of him are out there,
but I'm thinking, you know, if if we're seeing him at the
scene of almost every crime here, it's got to be it's got to be
upper hundreds at this point if there's if there's crime, it seems like he's
just there. So it's kind of going over in my head just all that.
Yeah, it's pretty I mean, obviously they're going to use the same
model for a lot of replicants, but it's pretty rare actually to see so
many that look identical in the same area. Like usually they try to change
their hair or whatever depending on you Ye, so it that they're identical yep,
Yeah, because you know, I've I've been around replicants a long time,
and at this point that just doesn't end up. It's it's like it's
like you're going through like a like a department store, and you see the
same aisle after aisle after aisle, and it's all filled with the same shit.
You're like, where's a variety? So for me that that tracks is
very strange that we're seeing the same person everywhere. Yep, Okay, is
anybody else? What's on your mind? Galen? Uh? While someone's getting
coffee, I probably would have taken Bob side. Oh okay, are you
all right? Yeah? I'm fine. Why I almost killed you today,
Bob? Yeah, but you didn't. It's not like you did on purpose.
I mean, Bob, I these drugs that I get you. Yeah,
I was actually a little surprised that you said yes back there when they
asked. It's not good to hide the truth all the time. If you're
trying to stay out of, well, stay off of people's radar, sometimes
you have to give them a little bit. Okay, yeah, right,
Look, you think of the drugs, they're not just for you, Bob.
I don't think that's surprising. I don't care what you get up to
As long as you do your job, you do your job. That's how
I do my job, Bob. All right, Eventually I'm gonna have to
catch up with Ripple. I don't know if they were from him or what
are you never happened before? How soon before it happened? Did you take
something? A couple of hours? All right? It was a very quick
and violent episode. What are you feeling now? I'm angry, Bob,
I'm really angry. What and myself. It's been a long time since I
trusted anybody, Bob, partner or not. I know you got my back,
Yeah, I do, I do. I cannot have yours. There
was one of the first cases that we worked is that that break in.
I had all these markers to it, and you you saw me hop something
and I saw you see me. It's been a long time since I've trusted
anybody, So, yeah, you get my back. I got yours.
These two others don't seem like bad people. I don't know what we're getting
into. I don't know who we can trust. And the captain m hm,
and we'll see heard a lot of stories about him. Yeah, he
maybed. I'd put the heat on me if things were going bad. I
mentioned what I did because he kept bringing up Tyrell. I thought I had
a lot of hate. They're going to well, I miss in case file
is going to go up soon enough. We got a limited amount of time
before it does, if they're going to move this person. But I figured
we're competent, all of us, all four of us is competent. We're
lucky. We might even catch them moving them. I'm'd have to pull some
double shifts. So we got to bring somebody in, Bob. We gotta
find out what's going on, and we gotta find out soon. Yeah,
otherwise if we're not here at the precinct, it might be gone before we
get back. I'm gonna go get something from the vending machine before we get
back out there. Do you want anything? No, okay, something anyway.
And so in the third basement they go down and the guy looks around
and he's like, oh, okay, so I see this here and this
here and this here, now which one of them is the replicant? And
the guy on the left goes, well, isn't it obvious the guy wearing
the pants you get it because he's he's because the pants. Because of the
earlier part of it where there's pants. You know, I thought I thought
it was funny. That was one of those jokes that that that hit me.
That hit me. Mhm, I love your jokes. I'm sorry.
I was just I was miles away. I apologize. Sorry, No,
no, don't no sorries. I'm shaking. I'm really shaking. I feel
like my my heart's gonna leap out of my chest. Ever since we talked
with the captain. Yeah, h so you want to tackle that that uh
what was it not the rat's nest. What was the name of that place?
Oh, snake bit, snake bit. There you go. Do you
think we're gonna handle that tonight or are we saving that for another day?
You know, I'm pretty ready to do it now. I mean, I've
got my coffee, really been thinking about some stuff, you know, stuff
that doesn't doesn't seem to add up the things that I would like to add
up. Things I'm trying to calculate, you know, every every single moment,
I feel like it's just another piece of that puzzle. Yeah. Well,
let's say you and I meet those guys there a little bit later.
In the meantime, we get that flashlight device and we go pay your tab
and I go look at one might be there to see. I'm picking up
what you're putting down. All right, I'll just have to remember to actually
pay my tab this time, fair enough. I might actually just want one
for myself. I've got I got some good will to spend down there at
the requisition's office, So I want to come with me down there. Maybe
gets your new gun or something. New gun might be nice. Actually,
this one, she's got a couple of scratch. It's not too bad,
but could use more power. You know, that was pretty cool what you
did at the office. What's that stuck up for? Galen. I don't
think he's I don't think he's the easiest guy to get along with, but
I think he's got good intentions. I appreciate that you did that. I
don't think I would have. Well, partners mean something to me, you
know that? And make my weight h with uh fucking Selma Jesus sorry,
blank, make my way with Selma down to the uh uh not the quartermaster.
That's what you call him in olden times, the guy who gives us
vests and guns and ship there. You go down there and I'll use however
many points I don't know. I could look up how many points it costs
to to get one of them laser readers. Mm hmmmm mm hmmm. You
know, do they have a watch? Just something that you look at it
tell us the time? You don't want like a que watch like someone with
a garat wire or anything like that. Isn't it purple knockout gas? I
mean, just something that to put on, to put on my wrist,
something comfortable about it. Mm hmm. There's there's something telling me that I'm
I'm gonna want to watch and I don't know why. I just I just
want to watch. H m hm. Trying to find like I tried to
look at it. Oh, here we go, Okay, I got it,
I got it, I got sorry, go ahead, mh just just
intuition, just intuition. I just I just want to watch. M hm
mm hmmmm hmm. Absolutely thank you. So uh we got one of these
m hm laser reader things for serial numbers and whatnot. M h. I
don't think you'll miss no, no, I'm talking about I'm sorry, sorry,
sorry, sorry, sorry, No, it's all good. You think
you're gonna misgiven the void KF since we won't have to do that anymore.
I mean, not yet, but I'm sure in the future we won't have
to do that no more. Yeah, yeah, well it seemed like the
type that would enjoy that. I do. I was really good at it,
but I never liked it. Really why not? I can see the
sides of everything, you know, cursed with fucking empathy. So he asked
me those questions. I can see why someone would say whatever they say,
and it seems unfair. Yeah, but I don't think these replicans are programmed
to fear. Have you ever seen a show fear? Not authentic fear?
Well, it's authentic. I guess that's a good question. Well, aside
from getting uh rocket launcher or something, I don't know if there's anything else
I really need. I like my revolver. Yeah, a nice ender scope
rifle, you know, sniper rifle, get you up on the rooftops,
popping shots. You know. I've never been uh, never been one to
them be too good with firearm. But I don't know one a half here
I think is doing me, doing me all right? All right? Yeah,
just the uh, just the scanner please, Okay, here you go.
Are you sure you too don't want anything else? You got any is
there a soup to sar? Do you have armored vests? I think they
would probably recommend you get some armored vests. I think we have the standard
issue. I think police shirt is, but they do, as far as
I know, they do have armored vests as well. That will help you
not die instantly if a replican punches you in the face. Okay, okay,
in the face. It's it's the best for your face. I just
mean mechanically, it'll help you. Heavy duty street gear, it's one.
I don't think technically it would be heavy duty street gear because I imagine that
is like riot gear. But it's somewhere in between there. We might have
to make something specific. But yeah, basically, you guys got a lot
of points. You can get whatever you like. You said, mm hmm,
okay, let's see. Oh shit, okay, I was looking here,
but I was looking at all the pictures, but some of them don't
have pictures, so I didn't look at all that rest that's let's see.
Well, it's the police shirt gives you a C armor and the heavy duty
gives you a B. So there's no like in between there. Okay,
I just went in between price. So we'll give you. We'll give you
a bee, but it's going to be like just for people listening. It'll
be a vest something that you can hide under, and you can choose to
put it on or not. So if you're going into electric Dreams and you
don't want it to look like you're you've got something on, and you know,
just you have to let me know when you're putting it on. It's
the only thing. Otherwise I'm gonna assume you don't have it on, but
you took it with you, all right. So I'm going to go back
to the full group here as you guys head up from requisitions. Yeah,
get everything you need. Yeah, yep, we're gonna take off the Lorely.
We're gonna go head over elect your Dreamspair tab and then we'll meet you
over at the snake Bit. All right, we're partners. I thought we're
supposed to travel together. Oh I just thought, yeah, it doesn't matter,
all right, Oh that's right, you don't even have a ride.
Hop in there. I did mention wanting to stick together as a squad too,
So thanks probably for the best. Yeah, all right, well so
let's head out there. All right, about this tab, I'm trying to
figure out which drink is the drink for you? Selma, mm hmm,
what would you suggest? Mm hmmm mmm. Hello, this is Pumpkin Perrier,
