You know, if you want to break down the job, it's infiltrate the
headquarters of Exotic Transports, find the shipment from Exotics United. Get that all
possible, and if not possible, get all the detailed information you can on
the C level executives, plus any like no movable info on the shipment itself,
either like a manifest or anything like that. Also, Melanie will let
you know. Listen, people know things are going down now right, Exotic
transfers not being able to hide in this and you know you probably felt it
too. It's been quiet for a few minutes. People are antsy, so
don't be too surprised the company shows up, is all I'm trying to say.
Be careful ere no thanks, so the heads up problem, All right,
don't talk to me again until the job's done. We'll do and then
the line cuts jack out. Yeah you said it. Best job's a job
at this point. She's so nice about it, too, Nicer than some
fixes I've worked with, that's for sure. Nice luxury in her line of
work. I wouldn't know. I would I've worked for plenty of them.
Ladies and gentlemen. We're not getting paid to stand around a chat let's get
down to work. We got a corpse to crack and agreed, all right,
so we're gonna enter the legwork. So this game's broken down into phases.
There's the get the job phase. There is what's called the legwork phase,
which is what we're gonna answer it now, where you basically this is
going to be you doing the prep work before the job hits. Right.
So there are options. You can declare a contact, which is like a
person that we're going to make up on the spot that you know that might
be able to provide like infel and the mission or things along that nature.
Hitting the street is when we make up a contact, how that interaction It
basically determines how that interaction plays out. Yeah, you call a person,
see if you can get info, and then YadA YadA, Yes, does
anyone want to come forward? You can make as dumb a name as you
want. Listen, we have bit Snake, Turbo and Icebanc Prescott in here.
Does that mean it means that I love your team? I don't wow.
Okay, you might be in places you don't want to be. If
you want to meet a guy named Prince Nobunaga and Neo flag Staff but I
can make that happen. Fritz No, Yes, his mother was half Japanese.
I do love Fritz no Budaga though that's a strong name. Listen,
We'll do Fritz Nobunago right now. I'm a big fan. I've never met
them. Okay, here's the thing is that do you want him? Here
is they? But it's like, oh and then you beat him? But
at makes sense somehow in my head, I'm thinking that he's either it's probably
not his real name. No, I'm thinking he wants to front like he's
a fucking yakaza. Yeah. Have you ever seen that episode of King of
the Hill where a relative of the cons shows up in like a very tricked
out car and he's got like a speed suit and neon glasses and pink hair
and like he doesn't speak English. Oh my god, that radio kind of
characters. Okay, that's what you're going for here. Okay, No,
I'm getting, I'm getting there. I'm getting. But he doesn't have a
car. He doesn't have a car. No, he's just like he's just
like this, he just okay that way. I love how his last name
is no Bunaga in his Lowatian. And here's the wild shit. So you're
gonna meet Fritz. He is another fixer, we'll put it that way,
right. He kind of runs shit out of a side room in his favorite
noodle shop, NEOs Flagstaff Noodles. It's it's a very very plain looking place,
a very plain name. It is the best ramen in a one hundred
and fifty mile radius period. Is there a sweaty man who doesn't speak a
lick at English with a shirt tied up as a bendena? Obviously? Oh
he? You get the site like, you know, the proper fucking greeting
when anyone walks into. Oh man, it's the real deal, right,
It's the realest deal you're gonna get from Bio Flagstaff. You cannot meet Fritz
without purchasing a bowl of noodles. You factor that in twist, my r,
super big twist of the arm. I am like guzzling to noodles as
we speak. You eventually get walked in. You see Fritz on two different
cell phones, having two different conversations, currently in one hand cussing this dude
out in Japanese. It was as much as you can you got somebody out
in Japanese. Very terse conversation. Let's just say you have like a translator
in your brain, but you're catching every fifth word. But as someone's losing
a pinky. As far as you ever understanding some situations, there, someone
fucked up real bad. He's talking to either a niece or his daughter about
soccer practice. You're not sure exactly the situation. The total whiplash is kind
of fucking you up a little bit on this classic fritz and then eventually goes
on for a good four or five minutes, as if it is stupor looks
up and realizes that you've just been standing there next to him, well,
not standing on the stool next to him. Your noodles are most done at
this point. They were done before I got through the curtain. I'm just
helping an empty bowl, not caring how awkward that looks. Eventually he wraps
up both. I gotta go, I gotta go. Ah, Midge,
Nidge, hmmm, it has been far, far too long. How are
you doing all right? I'm just trying to put ends together, as it
were, hoping you might entertain me and my friends for a little while.
And what could the great new Obu Naga off of you? Mister Rinka,
Well, nobasan, we have uh this contract the correct word for this situation.
Yes, contract would be the correct word. Or job we're preparing for.
We have a job to do. Can you help me? Ah?
Yes, well of course nothing. Ever. Oh, by the way,
everyone has five credits. Everyone should already that down. The parting money is
five credits. I think a lot of people have zero credits and that's not
true. I'm just throwing that out. There is normally five. But we're
all broke boys. You all have three credits. I apologize everyone has three.
There is money on this inf Yes, everyone lost two whole credits the
spin of five seconds. And yeah with this inflation, bro you better believe
that is what nobaknaka does, which it could be a little bit more specific.
Are we I mean, are we looking for like trying to pack a
heavy punch? You need people to not be where they are trying to get
I don't know what's the the white dove? Right? The white Dove is
your car, just like the white winged Dove. Okay, yeah, are
we looking for like a new terrible kid for the beautiful Dove? Hmmm?
I mean I would like that, but I don't know how relevant it is
to this situation. It's like this, we need a good way in and
out of Exotic Transports. The main I prefer to go fast, you know
me discreet if possible, No banaga son, I believe. Now it's time
to actually roll the hit the streets. Yeah minus one to my style,
this is gonna be great. Yeah yeah, all right, lid roll me
two D six from style. Oh yes, I'm sorry, roll style.
That is that's what we any gyp do. Wow. All right, so
that's full of average. That's a pail. Here's what I'm going to do.
I'm gonna tack a clock, but I won't tell you this clock I'm
ticking. Let it's happen inside Exotic Transport, saying away in the mouse.
How long do you think the job will take? Not long if we're good
at what we do. I mean speaking out of character for a second.
So we're getting this shipment or information related to said shipment. If we can't
get it, do we have any scope on how big it is or how
much we got appall or not? Really you've not gotten. We know it's
big quote unquote, but that could be. We know it's big in the
sense that it is like valuable, valuable because me high level execs are coming
in with it from the main company, right, and they're like only a
couple branches down the tree as far as like importance goes in the company that
they're really high up right right. So at the very least, Melanie did
not have a lot of information on the specifics of like the size of the
shipment or things like that. All they know is shit. Big things are
being moved because big names are here. That has to be in something.
We want to know whether it is and if we can get it, we
want to. I feel like Fritz is letting me down, big surprise,
right, Are you looking for a distraction? Are we looking for the front
guard to not be there? I can maybe, Brigger, like a power
outage in the area, if you let me know what time you're going to
be trying to hit the place. Well, I have friends in the power
planet. Lady Jaber looks over her shoulder at her companions A wren, Yes,
it's the power now, can you still you know? Do what you
do? Most usually know. But some places have backup generators. Maybe that
would work, and you guys think not a power outage? I like the
dark. It makes things more discreet and more personal. Oh you Lydia,
because you rolled the six, you're gonna have to pick three of these.
Oh oh god. Alright, yes, So this help that Nobunaga San's gonna
provide it can either cost you extra. He's gonna take some time to put
together. It's going to attract unwanted attention, complications or consequences. This is
on top of the already happened. I've already ticked a clock and you can't
stop that at this point. So but this would be on top of that.
Or your contact needs you to help him out with something. If you
turn them down, take minus one, ongoing into this move until you make
it right. So take all three. There's four. Well, it's gonna
cost extra, it's gonna take time. It's an attract unwanted attention. There's
a little sum extra he needs. Okay, So doing the little extra side
job sounds interesting to me just from a story perspective. Yes, if I
had more credits, I think I could pay the extra, But I somehow
doubt I can do that for some reason, you would likely have to borrow
for me, somebody and the party. If you're paying extra yeah, yeah,
I feel like that's not gonna okay, I feel corve me if others
would not be on board with this. I feel that it would make the
most sense to take a little side job for him. M we'd all strapped
for canh. Yeah, we plus it, you know, we can factor
that into the narrative and whatnot. Okay, is it possible that what we
would normally be paid for the side job could be the extra cost? Or
is that like? No, that is, if you want to choose all
three except for going to cost you extra, then that's fine, but it
is separate for having to do the side job and costing extra. Yeah,
do we know how much extra? As you probably felt it, work has
been sparse and this is the first job of gott in a minute, and
it's a big job. It's going to be six credits. Oh cool?
Other three. I feel like this is him like, actually, you're getting
hustled. No, here's the thing, is that you have this uneasy feeling
in your gut and it's the this dude's fucking taking me up for a ride,
but I can't do anything about it. Feelings. He's probably like flaunting
an overdue well backlogged udle tab in my face right now. Oh shit,
yeah, no, you're at least five bulls beat. If not, it
leaps minimum five balls. It's like five weeks of bulls. Let's be real.
And you fucked around and got a deluxe bowler two and that really fucked
up the whole thing for everybody. You got a real chicken beat in there
and crazy whoa yeah, all right, well if I pay you three now?
Can I pay you three later? Jay Bird come to my office.
Then he like rolls to his other desk that he has set up there where
his his computer setup is. It's literally just the other side. Oh my
god, yes, I wholeheartedly that's incredible. He fiddles around with a bunch
of things, brings up a GPS map. Here's what I'm gonna need.
So here's where the Exotic Transports headquarters is, and he points to like the
spot in the map. You've did the tiny better research. You knew where
it is, right vaguely. I was trusting other people in my well anyway,
yeah, we'll say yes, you would have at least still looked it
up. So you know the routes that you were gonna take, right,
Oh yeah, no, we know that right, we live here. M
there's something I need you to pick up here, and he points to what
you would know as a pawn shop about three blocks away from the headquarters.
Right m hm. So I'm not gonna lie to you, j Bird.
Everyone in their mom is going to probably be doing something around the time of
this, of this job one, there doesn't be a blackout. People are
know at least something is up, or at least make a move there.
I can't promise you that it's going to just be you guys out there,
but it will be the perfect time which the distraction is going on to make
a move. Say my name to the guy at the door. He'll give
you what you need to pick up. I need you to run it.
And then he points to another spot a twenty minute drive away. Let's say
you need to run a package for him while this job is going down.
Is effectively what's being set up here. Yeah, okay, okay, those
nobles aren't really good special Thanks to Toys and Things in dan Versus, Massachusetts,
