Welcome back to villain underground. I am the dungeon masses. It's still dungeon master if it's fate. It's game master Gee, I'm the game master Alex Gator and with me today is Because so many times you said that okay will Hi guys, do you have a moment to talk about the good news of our Lord and Savior muchaka?

Got fuck you Is this what is this about this is a reference to the game will and I play and they have Very somehow will has just created an entire religion and it's based off of like little comments and I have no power to stop Good good. I'm glad at last and presumably not least Cody. Yeah, hopefully not All right, and we are uh a fate playing podcast where we're playing supervillains doing bad We just escaped prison. Well, maybe one of you should tell us what we have what happened last time guys somebody anybody Well, we'll have a last time last time we were in jail and someone did want to be in jail Namely go narrow and the rest of us.

Yeah as Phil raises his hand. So we got the fuck out I think there was mention of a riot suggested at some point like once or twice. I think you guys screamed riot like multiple times I think I think opening scene was you're in the mess hall and you're like riot right guys, right? And then nobody right it which was very like the fleeting There's a baby riot.

You got a baby right ago. Yeah, it was a good place. So are we all set will do you have your pot? I do um there was somebody made you good oatmeal and robin obis voice and left it in the sink So I had to watch this before we got on See I didn't think you were actually talking about the metal pot.

I thought you were actually talking about the leak I want to break welcome to 420 cast where we just get is Some fate It's the best way to play fate apparently. Yeah, I wouldn't know I'm straight-edge um Okay, so all right. So last time we were we were in a truck We were in a truck with some with some supervillains Oh, and we usually have Fred with us as well, but he could not do two work obligations. I believe But his character's still in the truck Listening to everyone's voice.

I because he can't see I punch left black like us repeatedly He goes he's just knocks stop punching me That's funny. Well apparently he thinks it's a very powerful. No, cuz he's blind. He's behind Right because he's blind.

Okay. So uh, yeah, you're you're in an unmarked van and it drives for drives for a while And eventually it stops and the doors open up And we still have a splinter and blister with us, right? No, no, those are the guys you pissed off at the jail. You have burn and Johnny B.

Okay Yeah, you're burning Johnny B splinter blister where the dude that uh you pissed off really really yeah, I remember that but I thought they like Just got into the truck also and I was like, oh, this is not gonna turn out well No, I think the last thing they were following us and you flipped them off and said, uh, fuck you Yeah, we get the hell out of there. They wanted to fight and you were like, uh, it's better to get out of here. So you got out of there Yep, which is probably a wise choice All right, so the van stops and everybody all of the other dudes unload from the van now are they going to like the same area? Like are they like if they're if they get out of the van are they all walking towards like one place or is everybody's kind of Yeah, yeah, it seems as if you guys are kind of in like a marshy woods area So uh, and they're all they're all headed towards uh headed towards direction.

Okay, uh, robin oboe has uh Almost completely transformed back into his original form, but his arm is still a wheel So he looks like uh an eight carrying a tire with him and he's just dragging that around and running in circles outside of the van Okay, all right, um Wait, you're just doing donuts in the middle of marshy pores. He's not doing donuts. He's just uh, he's like running laps like dragging a tire, but the tire is actually his arm Okay, I mean golden arrow would probably just follow the group like he wants to be with him So he's gonna be like, I'm gonna tag along without anybody noticing Okay, um, they're fine with you guys tagging along are you all gonna tag along? I mean you're free to go if you want, but if you want to tag along you can um actually burns as I have to get back to uh I have to get back to the verbs because I already have a group but thanks for letting me out.

I owe you guys I owe you guys a bunch Fist bump. So yeah, so fist bump. He's like if you ever if you guys ever need need help um and you Contact the verbs and I'll put in a good word for you Alright, now she kind of like holds his hand up like a fist bump. He gives you a fist bump.

He's like sizzle, baby And he takes off but Johnny B's like yeah, I'm down to follow you guys Now describe Johnny B again. Uh, he's uh, I never described him in the first place He's Johnny Bravo He's Johnny, yeah, okay. So he's he's a little beefy. He's not as beefy as you but he's somewhat beefy Um, and he's got he's got a blonde pompadour and he's like, yeah Because now he has Johnny Bravo.

He was gonna be something different, but now he's Johnny Bravo He's like, yeah, baby He talks kind of like Elvis So that's what he's like Now Knox will follow the rest of the group But I just want to make sure Knox is going to try and figure out where they're going to so that way he knows the location Just like looking around um, yeah, there's like a there's like a small path It seems like a foot path The van drove as far as it could on like a like a dirt trail and there's like a small uh, foot path And it leads it's not too far in the woods like a five-minute walk Um, and then in the like side of a rock face There's kind of like a hidden door and um dark bulb opens it and there's an elevator inside And they get into the elevator I quickly run in as well Why so quickly? I want to show him eager. It's important. It's important on job interviews too.

It seems like you would like the job So I'm doing that Okay, because every dog walks in he just looks over to gold narrow know who you're implore it for you is uh, the golden arrow Give him a sideways glance and not say anything. He's gonna hold his tongue for a little bit The robin oboe in the elevator as well. Um, yeah, he actually takes a black legless by the hand and goes Come on black and that goes let's go Fly like us Black legos gets in the elevator. Uh, he's like, okay.

Where are we going? What's happening? This place smells like marsh No one's telling me anything. Uh, well, I mean it is a marsh.

It's We're in an elevator. It's weird Okay, the elevator uh Lurgis to go and it starts going down a lot it goes down a bunch of floors and it opens up into kind of a Underground facility. It's not super super big, but it's like a medium sized facility Um And darkbell says make yourself a home. We have uh some quarters you can stay in we also have like a Outfitter here so you can get costumes or whatever you need and black legos says I need a bow And then he goes off into go get his boat costume So uh darkly he's not currently separated from you sure So a darkbell, let's breathe when you place out you a fishy come across this um Well, uh zero tolerance has a bit of money and uh he helped build it with his friend blueprints Who is our outfitter and tech guy?

Very sitting very sitting. Okay. Yeah, so make yourself a home You can stick around for a little bit. Um, we are currently outside of uh leap leap is harbor So if you want to go into the city and do anything you can go go there Is lefis harbor the actual city name or is lefis harbor just the uh, yeah, it's a city Is that where like our characters would be from like if they got pinched there they'd probably have Lip there no, uh, if you want to be have been from there, um, you can Uh, it's not exactly where you're from because the the holding facility is kind of like a holding facility for like a tricep area Okay, if that makes sense.

So like a bunch of cities kind of feed into one sure like darkbell was pinched near amberville Yeah, and now you guys are by lefis harbor. Okay. Yeah, I think I just also also north of here is court star north of here's what court star city Yeah, those are like the like three cities along the east coast Okay Yeah, so it probably just start, you know walking around start taking inventory Maybe see if there's like an area where I don't know people kind of congregate like a meeting hall almost Um, yeah, there's like a living room style area where like there's a bunch of kind of nice chairs in the table Um where people would probably get together. It's not like super organized like they like a big meeting meeting area It's just kind of like a chill like a chill place.

So you also do notice like a small workout room It's not quite a beef palace, but I'd be like like a like a I don't know like a beef workout room like a beef room Okay, so like they would have a bunch of not all this equipment and then like maybe a set of free weights But they the free weights only go up to about 55 Yeah, I think they probably have like a rolling machine So like golden arrow will just kind of stop and take stock and he's like, I gotta go talk to blueprints about this So i'm gonna go talk to blueprints All right, you're gonna talk to blueprints. What's everybody else doing? Um, it's in the area Is there anything that looks kind of out of the ordinary? Um, you know like those Plates that have the electricity on them that you see in um novelty shops or any kind of like science evil and stuff Or is it just mainly like a meeting room?

Like like in the meeting room area? Yeah, is there anything that's like any kind of gadgets laying out or things on display? That's there's a couple of things on display Um that are in like like a glass case. Um, but there's nothing super gadgety if that's what you're talking about.

Okay So robin obis just kind of like wandering around looking into cases and you know opening containers and drawers where you can find them Okay, just like digging through shin. Okay, it's mostly like living quarters. Um, there is there is a pretty nice computer Um But it's not like it seems like a part-time evil layer not like a full-time. It seems like a satellite layer Um So there's like it's it's kind of like a crash pad mostly Knox, what are you up to?

Knox is gonna go robo nobo and kind of before he goes wandering off Knox is kind of like tap the side of his head next to his sinuses We like record And he's gonna look at robo and he's gonna ask him to record whatever he sees Robin obo has a little red light that comes on inside of one of his eyes and he excitedly nods his head Knox kind of like like pat like pat him not petting but just like pat him on top of the head Good job And then he's just gonna kind of follow like dark bell wherever she goes And just kind of like doing the same thing like walking around right behind her looking around the place And unless she says anything he's just gonna continue to follow her Okay, she she goes makes herself a sandwich and then changes into her super out of it or her super ill outfit So that's the way it might be worth the time doing She just like she goes into a changing room and she doesn't let you in there with her. Okay, so Patently with both hands behind his back kind of like rocking back and forth on his tippy toes When she goes to make the sandwich um she she says that you can have some sandwich if you like Not a first sandwich, but if you want to make your own He just kind of like waves his hand and then like like she just had no, okay She keeps looking at you awkwardly as you follow her around the domicile Alright, Phil um you make your way to blueprint you find blueprint. He's tinkering with things Hi, are you your blueprint, right? Yes.

Uh, my name's golden arrow. I'm new here, but I'm here to help I've got a lot of things for us What are you talking about? Uh, so dark bell she uh we broke her outfit. Oh, chrisin.

Do we know the chris any? Uh, I don't have okay. Um, if you want to call it whatever you want be fast Okay, no be fellas lock in the field um Uh corn's peak super facility Okay. Yeah, uh, yeah, so we're got pinched and got taken to corn's peak But we broke out super or I'm sorry dark bell and she brought us here Okay, so I have some ideas though.

Okay. What is your what is your idea? So that gym that's like just down the hall a little bit. Uh, we're lacking a lot of weights, you know, like it's a lot of cardio and endurance work, but we kind of need to shift our focus towards more of a vulking Face I feel like your your issue is the the work out of quiddo.

Yeah. Yeah, what? Why don't you just get a membership to plant a fitness and drive the 15 minutes into lee to sarver and just work out there? Well, it's just really convenient.

I mean, it's it would it would be convenient Well, you can go just go into town and buy some workout equipment then and bring it back Okay, do you have like a p-card I can use or? No, no, I don't if you want to go steal it or go earn some money to go buy it or if you have a friend that happens to be wealthy I don't care where you get I'm I'm not giving you money. You just kind of hear the back of your head Oh Okay, um, yeah, cool. So I can make any changes.

I want to the workout equipment area I'm not in charge of that man. Oh, I thought you would be well, I'm not in charge of the workout equipment I mean, okay, you want to bring in workout equipment I mean don't expect anyone to treat it well or keep it here if you anything you leave in this area Don't be surprised somebody else takes it. That's all I'm saying. It's not this isn't a place of like super honorable people.

Oh, okay So anything you bring into this place? Uh-huh. Just be aware that you're bringing it into a place where thieves gather So at your own discretion bring things that you buy here Okay, I just thought you're kind of like the equipment guy and like I needed to talk to you I don't know how things work here. I'm the equipment guy if like you need a bow or you need like a suit or something I mean is that like like a loss is just staring at the corner He's waiting for me to string his bow.

Yeah, I need to make I'm making him a bow. Okay. He's well He doesn't know he's looking into the corner. He thinks he's just waiting in a room.

Yeah, he doesn't realize how close the corner is to him I see okay, it's just he thought the room was bigger than it was So is zero tolerance around somewhere? Can I go speak to him? Yeah, so you're gonna go look for him. Yeah, okay.

What's everybody else doing? Um, Roman oboe Roman oboe continues to search around. Um, he's uh, begun Turning his appendages into various instruments to make sandwiches for some of the people milling around I just use board and it's looking for something to do Okay All right, Knox We'll be if you went You're still following dark. Oh, um Just waiting for her to go and like do something kind of important.

Okay, eventually she goes and she starts um sifting through emails And phone messages and like you you notice that a lot of them are like job offers and such my bad I take note of like almost all the job offers and like the returning email addresses of all of them. Okay All right, you you are taking note of job offers. Yeah, are there is there any particular that you're looking for? Uh, any heist And are there are any people?

There are a number of people trying to offer her heists, but she does not seem to be interested in that I'll take her. I'll take them from her. You're just gonna like give him in your brain. Yep.

Okay. Um, all right So you're just watching her go through emails All right, um At a certain point, uh, she knocks is gonna put his hand on her desk and to do that little drumming thing that people usually do Just kind of like I can't even know what's picking it up. No, but they just kind of like they like click their nails But like he doesn't have any nails so he's just like drumming on the table. She looked at you, but what do you want?

Well, what does it you want? She showed us to your apparently other base and brought us in here told us that we could have whatever we want Why didn't say whatever you want? I said, thanks for breaking me out I brought you somewhere relatively safe so you can get on your feet and do your thing. What do you want from me?

You could I said make yourself a home go to sleep get Outfit if you want to get outfit and then what? Have a sandwich. I'm revaying you for breaking me out of prison He's gonna sit there like drumming for a little while just be like Fair enough and then walk away and go back to the kitchen with robo novo and be like robo can I have a sandwich, please? You see the sea robo novo has made a couple dogwoods Dr.

Tran is to eat one but like realizes that he can't take it up his helmet yet and puts it down sadly Yeah, you're real hungry. You haven't eaten in a lot time Okay. All right. I feel you find zero tolerance Uh, hi mr.

What do you want? Uh, so we got broken out of super jail very well We helped I remember yeah, okay. Um, do you have any like work that we could do? I could yeah if you want me to send some work your way.

I can yeah if you're looking to get on your feet Yeah, that'd be perfect. I got a big renovation project that I need some cashish for okay Um, I'll look through what I have and I'll send you are you trying to like be affiliated with us or like you just want me best Long something I don't want because if I'm sending you if I'm sending you somewhere like under my good name You better do a good job Because I mean I don't do bad work But if you just want something that I don't want I'll send it to you like I'm not gonna be involved. Does that make sense? Yeah, I personally would love to work under your name.

Um, it is a thing I could promise you that Believe me. I always do good work whether in the gym or out in the real life But the gym is real life, but I promise you I will do good. What are you talking? What are you talking about?

Oh lifting I lift a lot and often it's like time to my powers Okay, I'll show you the theorem is there like a desk near him Yes, okay, so I go over there and I first try to pick up the desk with my okay with my body Okay, do I need a roll for it? No, okay. I do it. I pick up the desk and say like see this is easy for me because I go to the gym And then I set it down and I take like Seven eight sets back and then I use my mind and say and I just like concentrate really hard And then I lift the desk up the same like length and it's very easy for me I'm like see my strength equals my mind strength I've never heard of that before I think you might have some sort of mental issue That's blocking you from being stronger telepathically, but I don't really care either way as long as you do decent work under my name And if you don't I mean I'll come after you because if you ruin my reputation Sure, I ain't gonna be happy.

That's all I'm saying. Well, my name's golden arrow and you have my word and I'll go for a handshake He shakes your hand. He's like you've said your name to me like seven times Well, I just want to get the point to the cross make sure you know who is responsible I have a very forgettable face Why are you called golden arrow huh?

Bye Okay, all right golden arrow as you walk away you notice robin oboe and knocks Um, one of them is making dog with sandwiches and the other looks like they would like to eat dog with sandwiches Is apparently not doing it Um Yeah, I'd go up to him and uh like cut off a piece of the sandwich, but I take off the bread and anything car related and just eat first Be like Yeah, so this is your telling this guy. He's uh, he's gonna get some work our way or my way I don't know if you guys want to help me Uh robin oboe starts shaking and saying uh an agreement So taking jobs from other people now, aren't we?

All right. You break into their computer Uh robo while you do that can you send emails out to these four people make sure that you are put it at a subsidiary of the chaos committee Okay Make sure you reroute all emails back to my account. Okay, so he starts working on this Okay, please send out you send out some uh Send out some emails And there's also a letter in uh in uh golden arrow's mailbox Okay, I'll uh I'll read it and see hopefully it's from zero tolerance It is yeah, it's actually it's spam mail It's your first bit of mail. It's like this is burger joint two blocks down.

It's a flyer for the chaos committee like cookout or whatever Okay, um Yeah, you get it's uh, it's a letter that says that there Is a organization that wants some Material out of leipis harbor. It is found in a scientific laboratory It has to do with cloning research I don't know guys. This doesn't seem like to pay all that much. I mean, I guess we should do it Because like zero tolerance told us to and we're kind of living in this house Right now.

We're living underneath zero tolerance house and under his rules. I mean for now Let's check our place rub it over like clowns Uh, it's it's clones I know it's not technology and it's like hard to process but it's clones We're not going to the circus You just look sad Can we go up to the circus afterwards? Yeah, I guess like do you need somebody to give you a ride? Is that what you're asking?

Because I I'm afraid of I can't drive. I'm afraid of clowns. So like I'll drop. Oh, you get an email I opened it up.

Um, it is from a man called the puzzle king. He's looking for uh henchmen to help with his next great idea That's all it says there's like That's one of the things that you had sent out and um, he he replied He's like, yeah, I would love you guys to be henchmen for my next great idea come to come to this address Do I have any background on the mr. Puzzle King? Yes.

Um, wait, do you have any skills that would let you search backgrounds or whatever? I've got contacts. I think yes. I have a plus two contacts Does it have days?

Do you want me to roll contacts or do you just give it to me? Um, yeah roll contacts. I'll give you more information better. You get Five six six and five holy shit.

Uh, I got plus four or four plus two It'll be six. Um, okay. Yeah, you know a lot about puzzle king puzzle king. He lives in a city called embril city and Um, he is known to be one of those villains that like makes those overly complicated Um, intricate traps specifically targeted towards the hero of his city.

Um, like Insanely in-depth puzzles because he thinks that the hero is the only person that can challenge him mentally Um, but he goes through Henshman and sidekicks really fast because a lot of his entrance sidekicks decide that they want to like break it on their own And he doesn't he doesn't often make a lot of money because it's not really heists, but he does pay okay And he's pretty well known him. He's pretty well respected because he is like a super genius It's just that his motivation is to make intricate and ridiculous puzzles for his hero to fight Oh father puzzle king Let's go see puzzle king He always has fun plans Doesn't look a fun time Well golden arrow since you're a new appointed leader unless you want to go ask zero tolerance first What about black Legos? Uh, he seems distracted, especially since he no longer has his bone arrow anymore. Yeah, blue I stopped by blue print and he seemed to be you know, hooking lego up with uh, a bow so It could take a while.

I don't know how fast blue print works What was your impression of blueprint? Um, he was very laissez-faire about this whole place like he told me I could redesign anything at one And it's pretty nice. Not what he could do Just go with that Doesn't sound like he can be bought off I don't know. Maybe Probably get that in mind If you so you want to go see some more clowns or do you want to go to puzzle king?

I think it'd be cool to go see some clowns It's it's not clowns. It's breaking into a research facility to steal clone research I thought you said five seconds ago. You were afraid of clowns It's more of a joke than anything but yes I'm just I want to make sure that you guys know what the two options I know it's cloned Okay Um, I mean, um I kind of gave zero tolerance to my word that my work would be good So I lean towards zero tolerance. I mean that puzzle joker will be you know, they're for a while Fine we can do it your way I'll leave the Donaldson to meet us up and uh, he'll get me some McDonald's on the way I need to get this helmet off So I miss this about your character.

Can you really not take off your helmet without your butler? Why did you do that? Yes Don't can ever discover who knocks is now because he can't take it off without his butlers help Yep, does butler have like it is like one of those things where he needs two keys Yes, so without both keys you could never joke your face or eat Yep I'm not gonna get to robo no but one time. I'm just like, I'm not sure about that one.

He might eat it Okay, what kind of card is mr. Donaldson drive? 97 Honda court I thought you were a wealthy child He's not fucking So you're gonna have him pick you up in a Honda court. Yes, it's discreet No one expects the Honda court To be quite honest, that's the only car I know at the time Oh boy, okay, all right, so a little a little while later.

Um, I don't know where you got the phone, but you got a text You got a text from mr. Donaldson that he's outside So I mean, I think we've all pilon to mr. Donaldson's car That would be all you're all gonna get in the what color is mr. Donaldson's car?

It's brown brown. Uh, all right The most robo wants to turn into a motorcycle again Um, he doesn't he doesn't look like it. He's he's uh excited to see mr. Donaldson climbs up on the roof of the car If it sounds like please get off of my car.

You're going to put feet prints in the hood And so did you get the five big max for robo no, yes, I got the McDonald's Good get this thing off of me. I'm hungry He uses his key to unlock the back of your helmet And it smells awful when it comes off like all sweaty and gross Because it's been on for days any sweating like a pre-p massive child Exactly your acne is fierce And there's a lot of there's a lot of big max and fries and given that you eat mostly big max surprise your acne is fierce Double fierce All right, so there you are you guys are in a 97 honda cord driving towards uh driving towards lapis harbor eating uh eating big max What do you listen to on the right here? Oh some smash mouth That's the worst You're the worst people your villains not because you commit crimes but because of everything else It's because we make you a special song about it about a gorilla Okay, how about the um jeez uh that wezer song where they talk about buying your monkey Oh, that's very naked ladies. Oh bear.

Oh, yeah, what about uh brass monkey by uh Beauty boys. That's all on I think that's all on robo no bose like playlist and like once he related Yeah, once they get into the car like robo no bose jacks into the radio and just plays those songs Like it's four songs about monkeys on repeat And oh robo no bose all Okay, so yeah, I think we should go to lapis harbor and um let's try to break into the cloning facility Uh, yeah, could you give us the mission details or supposed to break in and like smash them up or like steal something? There there's specific research that they want uh stolen particularly samples Like uh dna samples of the heroes that are in that city Oh That sounds like a night job when we escaped the prison was it kind of no towards night time because we were having dinner at the time Um, yeah, and then it like it was the next day by the time you got to uh the facility like the underground place So it's the next day And all of your all of your damages have been Gone so you guys are good now So um can I roll contacts so you see if I know anybody like one of my gym friends that works there At the cloning facility one of your gym buddies. Are you from leepas harbors every time?

I'm gonna say that Okay, yeah, all right sure roll call contact. All right. Um, I forget how feet works So I have a plus two in contact. So that's a mini roll your Okay Then yeah, you roll your fudge dice and you add the plus of the minus Okay, do you remember how to do that with the dice?

Yeah, so like two and one are minus one five and six are plus one And uh, I rolled two dice is that correct because I have a mental of two Nope, you roll four dice always roll four. That's right. Okay Um Two successes one. I'm sorry two plus is one minus so overall plus one from the rolls and plus two for contacts So plus three so you get a three All right.

Um, you know a guy his name is rod Um rod hard slab. Uh, he he uh, he works the he works like as a janitorial staff at the the research facility Um, I want to go online see if I can find any uh Maybe like overhead satellite places to see overhead satellite images so that way I can see the better uh location to either go in or a place that's not guarded as well as the others And then try to find a sewer system Okay So you're looking at satellite stuff? Yeah satellite stuff like kind of the way into the sewer system See if there's any way to go through the sewer system to get inside the building Okay, so you're going through that kind of stuff. Are you gonna roll for that?

Do you know actually um can I assist him with that? Um being able to um interact with technology and log in the stuff? Um, yeah, I will let you if you roll Yeah, roll burglary will okay I got shot also roll burglary as well. No, no, he's rolling to assist.

Okay, two total Two total um, okay. So I will let him give cody a plus one on resources to find a way Ooh, that's a lot of I got two sixes a two and a one so that evens out and I have a plus three to resources So I'd have a total of plus one four Okay, um, you think you come across like a sewer line that goes under part of the building Um, you wouldn't be able to crawl up to the sewer but it goes under like one of the main areas So if you were to somehow break up through the the the floor you'd be able to get in Seems like it's going to be allowed Gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news Good news is I found a way into the building bad news is You might have a bit loud and a bit smelly at the end of it Um, I've got a friend rod or a guy. I know that Jim not necessarily a friend But like I think I got a plan like maybe I could be get inside Then maybe like just let you guys in sounds like an idea What is this I want to say? Go ahead.

Okay I want to save like a location of where the sewer and the building meets so maybe we can have a escape plan that's good Really good And uh, what does the building look like itself? Um, it's kind of like a like a laboratory place. It's like three stories. It's kind of large It's a little bit outside of town and it's got like a big um, like glass front facade and it's um Like kind of in kind of a hilly area So part of it's kind of built up on a hill.

Okay, uh, robin obo's gonna start climbing the side of the building to get up on the roof to look around Right right now. Yeah Like in the middle of the day. Yeah Okay, all right. So you guys we're in the Honda Accord doing research roblin obo hopped out of the car and starts running towards the building Let me put it.

Do anything. I'm texting people to try to get rods number from texting people. I know that Jim to get rods number like whatever Okay, all right. You uh you get it texted you uh you texted dude.

You know biff And biff is like oh yeah rod's got a new number here you go and he yeah his His name was biff tough stuff zip tough stuff. He goes you back rod rod hard slabs numbers. Um, yeah So not just kind of leaning against the car just kind of looks over go. So his name is rod, huh?

Is your your friend? Yeah, like I know um he uh he's a janitor here It's okay. You can call him your friend. You don't have to mince around the subject.

Look I know the guy I want to ask him to be my spotter. Let's just put that way like we're not on that level yet I understand where you're coming from. I just I realized that I have an open door policy with these things to friends Yes to friends. You realize I'm married, right?

And I have a kid. I also I'm not gay I never said that You're I'm just saying that if we need more help that you can have some of your friends come over and help us with these eyes I think he's a little too tight, buddy Probably I'll just get Mr. Donaldson again He's right there in the Honda cord sitting there very patiently. He's eating cold leftover fries But there's a town Mr.

Donaldson So robin obas climbing yeah, yeah Yeah, robin obo your your climate your climbing the side of the building as you're climbing a bunch of people like are looking out of the window like Extremely shocked that this is happening He's uh he's gonna transform one of his hands into a squeegee and smile really big and start squeegeeing the window All right, so squeegeeing the window as he's climbing course Right Start a squeegeeing the window Was was there a purpose for him going up there? I have no idea um But he's going so he climbs to the top of the building. Okay. All right, robin obo you're at the top of the building What's everybody doing while he's climbing the top of the building?

You're still sitting by the car waiting. Yeah, um, so I've texted rod It's actually like hey man. It's john from the gym I'm getting down on my luck Is there any way I could shadow for a janitor position? Okay All right, robin obo you're at the top of the building.

What do I find up there? Um, there's there's like a couple employees like smoking up at the top of the building and they look at you as you get to the top and they're like What are our lives And yeah, there's like there's big ac units. Um, there's a door into the inside, but it looks like pretty well Um guarded like they have key cards. Um, yeah, so it looks like it locks.

It looks pretty heavy duty. Okay, um, so He's uh still got his record functioning going but uh just gonna stand up as they're looking at him Hold his hands over his head and kind of walk back a couple of steps and then do a back flip back off of the building Okay. All right All right, uh, you guys at the car you see robin obo climb the top of the building and then back flip off of it And then he's uh coming back to the accord All right as you're coming back to the court the those of you at the accord that is parked on the side of the street A few blocks away from the the side center you hear um a couple of motorcycles coming I I would think John as he's now called in street clothes would be in street clothes like he wouldn't be in his outfit Just yeah Knox are you standing in full costume on the street? I'm just in the car wearing the helmet, but it's basically in costume Yeah, all right robin obo you get back to the car You're standing outside of the car.

Yep. Um and I uh lean my head into the window and uh say um Knox there's a door on the roof So I kind of take a I'm just gonna probably a lot and If golden arrow should be able to get inside the building you should be able to lock that door Let me see if I can find any Plans for the rest of the building. Does anyone can like get on a another direction and try to find planes for the building? Um, you can try.

Yeah, you can roll um resources again And I also want to try and figure out if they do anything other than just the clones Like is it just because they have clones of the superheroes or do they have a like some other technology that we might be able to Choir while we're in there. There's not actually clones. It's a clone research facility and they have samples of local heroes Okay, so they don't actually have clones. They just have like research and samples Uh two fives three and one so it's a plus one plus a three so four Okay, you're able to find basic blueprints.

It's not like the ins and outs of like security cameras and whatnot But you have like the basic shape and layout of the building I just kind of like try to figure out the best route from the top of the building to the where the superhero uh Kind of containment are okay. You have a general idea of how you get there Would it be better to go from the bottom floor or the top floor? Um, it would probably be faster from the bottom Then I guess we have a skate route number two Is there like a mainframe room anywhere on the blueprint? Can I can we access that easily like a main like computers?

Yeah, um, there is a mainframe room, um, but it's nebulous what kind of security it has Okay, I show it to robo nobo and I say uh, uh, along with our general plan We might want to go to the mainframe room. I want some of this cloning research Might be useful further down the line. Oh, yeah, the robo nobo like like research I think the roof would be good for exit too. So has a rod texted back yet.

Yeah rod text back He's like I can talk to my boss bro. Uh come in tomorrow morning and I'll introduce you to him Oh, I thought you worked night shift. That's what I will text back. No, I worked a shift I don't text that but I just say that don't text shit Oh, fuck never mind.

Oh fuck. Oh fuck. I was gonna rob it at night. Sorry.

I can't do it at the day, rod So you do you text all that? So kind of Hop in the honda honda accord and say um, yeah, so rod where stay shift It seems like a night job, right? Roblomb, are you in the car or outside of the car? I've gotten in the car at this point.

Okay. Um, three motorcycles go go past your car Driving up towards the um research facility Can we like take notice of the is there are they like superheroes driving by or is it just like a little mini biker game? They are indeed heroes. They are three on a monopies.

Oh shit. We killed them all Well, let's like we got some heroes here What are they doing here? Does it look like they're scoping the place or is that just look like they're going by? Um, they're going up to the research facility Like they pull up to the main door and people come out like they have off their bikes and they start talking to people And then somebody starts pointing to the side of the building and then like someone makes a hand motion like a backflip and then And then like and then they point off into the distance and they're just they're kind of talking They're just doing hand motions like, you know, oh, they're back blackflip.

We walk all there and then over that way. Oh, oh, this is bad How would you like to do the heist now smash and grab? Robo seems to think of the same way robo. Can you give golden arrow some explosives?

I called out my hand he gives you some explosives Yeah Without an answer a lot all of that conversation was Do they come out of your plant? Um, so at this point golden arrow will start to try to put on his leotard and like his outfit in the back of a 95 A body building in the back of a 95 Honda Accord will try to get a 97. It's a little more 97 will try to get dressed You're like don't look hot mr. Donaldson.

Sorry like like in the middle of the day And I figured you were riding I figured you were riding shotgun because knocks knocks would never never ride in front of a car And Robanobos frantically looking around and goes Donaldson, Donaldson where robo no most came at? What I didn't know you I didn't know you had a cape. I have a couple extra knocks escapes in the trunk Don't give in one of mine fine. Just take it.

Make sure you label it before you use it Are you still are you still watching up at the facility or now? Uh robo's not guys Okay, I figured everyone is pretty much getting dressed and getting ready. So I don't think we're taking notice of anything Okay All right, so you guys you guys see three heroes arrive then get in your superhero outfits without paying any attention All right, so then you're dressed say uh should we send Donaldson away? I don't want to have anything to tie it to us Yeah, that might be for the best use the sewers a getaway.

Okay. I'm gonna roll for Donaldson Okay, that also says Why are you planning on doing this now when the heroes just arrived? Wouldn't you want them to leave again or at least wait or something? Wouldn't it be best if we made a distraction under the heroes noses and retrieve the substance Yes, what what do you mean by distraction?

Well robo no, but it's not exactly Discrete um we I assume that robo no book could go in from the roof. We could have Donaldson Build an arrow could go from from the sewers. We could have Donaldson crash the car into motorcycles This is my this is my only car and i will buy you another 9700 cord Can you wait if I crash this car can you buy me something better than a 9700 cord? Uh Please fine.

I've been driving this for six years man Fine just fine. Oh my god. Hey buddy. I put so many What's so much into this car the insurance the policies Everything's like that when every transmission went out who paid for the replacement transmission fine?

I would you want to one? I I paid for the replacement transition, but you kept saying that you did because you wrote my checks But it came out of my grocery fund so And who has access to your grocery fund? I do so. It's my money.

I guess technically that's true Do you think maybe my next car could be like, I don't know a Tesla or like a Tesla? Yeah, those are really fast and like would we have a perfectly good? Why are you going to the competitive? Don't say you know better than this?

I'm just saying they make good cars. You don't I if you made a good car. We don't make good cars I don't know if you make cars. I've only been driving a Honda Do you do you own?

I don't think you own Honda. I don't own Honda Just just crash your car and we will deal with repercussions later Donaldson Okay, how fast do I have to be going because I really don't want to get injured He's just gonna like turn to him and like just deadpan with the mask on Just do it Okay, can I can I go to liquor store and like pretend I'm drunk first or at least it ended up in I don't end up in Like you don't already have liquor in here Donaldson. I drank most of it Okay Here's I'll crash my car you guys get out. When do you want me to do it?

Robo will signal you from the roof when you should crash. Okay Okay, that's fair enough. Are we waiting till night or are we doing this in the middle of the day? We're gonna leave by night.

Right. Okay, so we're doing it at night. Okay, so we can wait No, no, we want to do it now because because the motorcycles are here Okay, that's the distraction is you hit the motorcycles they're all concerned about that while we go in and get the samples I have another question. Do a lot of people know that golden arrow is kind of a Villain So if someone would try to recognize him as a superhero would they accidentally recognize him like as a superhero Um the way I saw it was most of you guys are starting out so you're not super well known Does that make sense?

I mean you have you have context, but you're not like you're not big names on the scene Yes, no I go in as a super wannabe hero then I would say going as one of us want to be hero We do we make our entrance from the top of the building and we retreat what we want You tell them that we've tried to escape through the top and we go through the sewers A little bit of misdirection. I am good at deception Am I still driving my car into the absolutely? Yes, Donaldson. Yes, Donaldson.

Yes, damn it We're past your heart. You don't have to yell at me. I just thought the plan was changing past your part. I'm just Why is everyone so mean?

You know what you did Donaldson Don't I really don't I had to wash my own shaker my protein shaker. You know how smelly that was you know do your job We have a dish while you could have put it in the dishwasher the latch was to them. You're right It was a lot. I didn't know what to do I've showed you a lot of times.

I've showed you so many times. I showed you all right. Let's do the ice Okay All right, you want to do let's do the heist next time on villain underground. Yeah All right.

Thank you. It doesn't change his mind. He's his loyalty is unfettered. Um, okay, so Thanks for listening to villain underground.
