Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like we kind of tripped them up
a bit in the shopping mall. But for sure, for
a military organization, getting tripped up a little bit, it's
not going to slow them down.
Speaker 2: For too much. It's more that Exotic Transports seems to
be getting packed up. The mall was three four as big,
and it was like a floor below where you're at now,
and they kind of got there as fast as you did.
Speaker 3: In a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: That does not go well for how Exotic Transports is
doing at the moment. No, all right, yeah, so you
I mean, shit, you even know the code they use
to get to Melanie off of that, so you'll be
able to spout some bullshit real quick if you really
need to. Okay, all right, cool, not at my companions,
give them the whole follow my lead, and I confidently
walk out of the fucking closet. All right, All three
follow out. So this is not exactly open floor land.
It is not a cubical raid in hell because this
is where the big money is, so it's a little
bit more labyrinthian.
Speaker 3: That's how that's pronounced, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's actual walls.
Speaker 3: Everything is mostly offices or big eating rooms.
Speaker 2: Effectively, it's that red U boat lighting going on right
now because of just you know, emergency going on, small
morning claque songs in the background. Ooh, what are we seeing?
Speaker 3: Not two?
Speaker 2: I mean, like it's state of the art in here,
right They're dealing with their interior just you know, the
specs on, like you know what they have for like
their work computers and shit like that. It's just you know,
a higher grade than you're gonna find greenage anyone else,
and definitely with anyone, more than anyone that you deal.
Speaker 4: With, So like a very high end kind of like
an apple it's like an apple dev area.
Speaker 2: I suppose, I like, you know, I think it's less
Apple store in that way and more I don't know,
there's real wood the trims of shit going on here.
There's a bit of more opulence than what you've seen before.
It's ye kind of preeply desolate because you know, you
imagine most of the people who are important have tried
to leave by now. Yeah, or there's probably a better
shelter than you know, their office necessarily, So there is
like this just hushed grim vibe. And as you guys
turn a corner, long hallway going like north south, and
there's like a couple like you know, intersection hallways on
the east to up. You hear some chatter, nothing crazy,
but you know, people like talking through game plans, like
what they're gonna do next, where they should be going.
Speaker 3: And you've not seen any.
Speaker 2: Elevators so far, but you know they are kind of
like at a halfway point on the perimeter to where
you and like the other side of the building here
you need to go to where Jonathan Gresham is.
Speaker 4: Well, let's say you fear this later I look at
bit snake.
Speaker 2: Things changed. We keep moving. Yeah, as far as they know,
we have permission to be like walking round. Yeah, why
would we puss your foot around? That would give the
game away? We walk?
Speaker 4: Oh, so we pretend we're hired muscle.
Speaker 2: Oh that's smart. I am reminded of a of a
bicycle theft scam where a guy just put on obstruction
vest and had some bold cutters and looked kind of
official and just started stealing people's bicycles wholesale and nothing
said or did anything.
Speaker 3: God Yeah, I like the vibe, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Why would they? Yeah? All right, sometimes the best way
to hide is to stand out. I guess, uh are
we assessing we know about the floor plan? We walk
confidently towards Jonathan Gretcham's office. This will bring you wow.
All right, sorry, I have to go into my mindest
walk directly toward your problem's approach was not not into cards.
That's not the damn all right, now, this is mother
fucking really news stuff. I'd a plan.
Speaker 3: I've learned.
Speaker 2: No, I've learned. I've learned that I had to just
throw it at you. Fucking preamble anyway, I literally had
three ways that this was going to play out, and
then you did none of them.
Speaker 3: That's welcome to the GM.
Speaker 2: Yeah a GM, thank you, yep. Okay, So inconveniently that
you know, that's second right where you're hearing the muttering,
that's kind of where Jonathan's office is. Okay, well that's fine, yep.
So you know you turn the corner and yeah, there's
just like you know, four guards. They're not lounging, right,
they're not.
Speaker 3: They're paid enough that they're not fucking around. Exactly.
Speaker 2: I imagine no one's lounging at a time like this,
right exactly. Well, listen, if you were to ask at
end plants, maybe maybe there's some slackers there. Regardless, there's
definitely a moment where you guys turn the corner, you
see them, and it's so mundane that they are like,
you know, the can I get a uh levels That
silent beat goes on for a little bit and then
say your business. All guns are up. They're point called
for hired guns. If you don't want us here, we'll
just walk out the way we came in. How they
held you? Get up? I'm sorry, is this building under siege?
Did you want us to wait at the fucking lobby? Now?
It's nice for a long time. Now, now we've gotten
too the part. This is a fast talk for like
for real free.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that we.
Speaker 2: Found found a way to roll a new get it,
Proud of y'all, proud of fucking y'all. Hey, buddy, you
have the roll style. Great, I have a negative one.
You're all welcome. If you can find a funny way
to maybe have another intel or if you have a gear,
I have no gear left. I have hole.
Speaker 4: Apparently, can I aid him by looking like an a
team represented it?
Speaker 3: Do you have a stat called links?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Do you believe we established that at the beginning did
we not?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Does hitting that do any allow you to make
a role link?
Speaker 2: That might be what I will let you do on
are you talking just to zoomer for right now, I'm
talking to zoo to see if you get a buck socks.
Let's let's determine that first, because I will definitely let
zoom help and be in the like a I am
big guy, you hire big guy. I'm big guy. Yeah
that's an eight.
Speaker 4: I am a little guy swaddled inder like layers of clothing.
Speaker 2: Okay, No, you definitely Okay, so you definitely get plus
one hold socks for whatever your plan is, give me
one second, just zoom now. You know, whatever the consequences
of what happens with what socks does, you won't be
in them.
Speaker 3: Yep, directly.
Speaker 2: We're kind of in that already, so I know.
Speaker 3: You're definitely in there now socks.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is a style rule, all right? And do
I want to spend one intel now or do I? Yeah?
Fuck it? Why not? How many of these jokers are there? For?
There are four of them, and they're pretty I don't
know what terms to put it in, but you know
they're fucking kidded out right. They're they got the serious business.
We're on the corporate executive level where make sure no
one dies anymore here. Yeah, these are et big guns
pre order bonus guys.
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 4: I got the leopards in aks.
Speaker 2: Okay, not that bad? No that okay, Okay. I was like, okay,
now that we're kind of.
Speaker 4: Dealing with the big deal, that's the case.
Speaker 2: Yes, I could spend an Intel.
Speaker 3: Yes, if you wanna spend an Intel.
Speaker 2: So for this fast talk, you have like direct actionable
names that you can get, Okay, let's put it that
way to like make your case. But sure, I'll spend
it Intel. Why not? So I'm rolling it two forward?
Is that? Am I reading that?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: One forward for the help, one forward for the Intel.
So you're rolling out a plus two. Nice at them
with the minus one?
Speaker 3: Look at that?
Speaker 2: Look at that? All right?
