[11] Printed Paternity (Let’s Play Pragmata (PC) w/ GaLm)

Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:01]All right.

[00:00:03]You know, we haven't seen Hugh eat yet.

[00:00:05]I wonder if that'll happen.

[00:00:09]He deserves a little food break.

[00:00:11]>> They got the cash to build this place, they could at least spare an actual reactor.

[00:00:17]Right?

[00:00:18]I'm curious what the actual like dollar number would be for this place. It's got to be like like ultra super duper mega expensive. I keep expecting that.

[00:00:33]Those look like bigger Lancers. What the [ __ ] Oh, those guys look like they'll kick my ass.

[00:00:41]>> Pretty gutsy looking bots for a private battle lab, don't you think?

[00:00:45]I think these were made [music] to fight. More security. Great.

[00:00:52]But why?

[00:00:55]Why were they made to fight? Who were they looking to fight for?

[00:00:59]Higgins Lab, authorized access only. If you need to contact Dr. Higgins, please submit a request at the reception desk.

[00:01:05]For further inquiries, please reach out to the secretary's office.

[00:01:08]What was Dr. Higgins like? All the doctor ever talked about was Daisy.

[00:01:18]He loved his daughter.

[00:01:21]A lot. That's his only personality trait. He was crazy enough to make duplicate daughters for it, too. Oh.

[00:01:30]Another view of the world.

[00:01:32]Christmas is right around the corner.

[00:01:35]Daisy.

[00:01:39]I I'm sorry.

[00:01:43]I can't spend it with you. Once you're better, I'm done.

[00:01:49]No more research.

[00:01:52]I'm coming home. We're so close.

[00:01:57]Just hang on a little longer.

[00:02:00]So, they were living apart? He had to be here on the moon for his research.

[00:02:08]Makes sense. This is where the Luna Filament is.

[00:02:14]I wonder uh I mean, it's probably a good thing he didn't bring his daughter here.

[00:02:19]>> work?

[00:02:20]It was all for Daisy. Your research, you everything.

[00:02:26]Yeah.

[00:02:30]Well, it's noble.

[00:02:32]Obviously, I approve of him trying to save his kid.

[00:02:37]Uh I don't know if I approve that it has led to the murder or well, the death of hundreds of if not thousands of people on this facility.

[00:02:45]Another incompatibility.

[00:02:50]Another failure.

[00:02:52]The results are always the same.

[00:02:54]Pragmata fails to adapt to the mutation.

[00:02:57]There is no time for this.

[00:03:00]Forget about seven.

[00:03:02]We must find another way.

[00:03:06]Well, what mutation? Is the mutation the goo?

[00:03:11]Test Android Pragmata.

[00:03:13]Although Luna Filament printed artificial organs remains unsuitable for direct transplantation into living humans, their integration into a synthetic host controlled by an AI calibrated to a patient's physiological and psychological profile enables remarkably faithful replication of human biological conditions. Consequently, mock clinical trial data sets utilizing Luna Filament formulations can now be generated with the level of accuracy approaching that of genuine human trials. The inaugural subject profile selected for this study will be my daughter, Daisy. For clarity of record, the Android constructed for this purpose shall henceforth be designated Pragmata.

[00:03:50]Dear Daddy, to Dr. Higgins from Cradle Mail Forwarding Service. Thanks for the Christmas card. I miss you, but I know you're working hard to make me feel better. I'll keep taking my medicine and be brave for all the tests so you can come home sooner. Daisy. Aw.

[00:04:08]So, is this where Diana was kept?

[00:04:15]Incompatibility?

[00:04:17]Yeah.

[00:04:20]I didn't do what he wanted. I have no purpose.

[00:04:30]Now, these the other Yeah, those are other rooms, not just a reflection of this one.

[00:04:38]Yeah, I wouldn't say you have no purpose.

[00:04:45]And clearly, maybe something happened.

[00:04:47]Maybe you did adapt to the mutation or something.

[00:05:00]Urgent emailing as phones are down to Dr. Higgins from Jacob. Sorry to disturb you so late. I need to inform you of something urgent. We've received word that your daughter's condition on Earth has suddenly worsened. A private tram is being prepared. Please come to General Cradle General Affairs right away. Oh, [ __ ] Test pragmatic exclusion / registration.

[00:05:23]Uh excluded from verification due to capacity for date degraded lunafilament removal, accurate test data could not be obtained. Additionally, the use of a younger model than the target patient profile contributed to its exclusion.

[00:05:34]Register for verification. Patient profile approximates an 8-year-old. The malfunction observed in seven was eliminated, and a new feature was implemented to concentrate degraded lunafilament.

[00:05:45]So, Diana is like a younger version of Daisy. I don't know how old Daisy is.

[00:05:53]And I guess that caused something to not be compatible with what they were trying to solve. Let's see. An organism given a lunafilament compound, a byproduct thought to be a degraded form of lunafilament appears during metabolism.

[00:06:10]Uh seven had a built-in feature to exponge degraded lunafilament, but this prevented accurate collection of clinical trial data since such elimination is impossible in the human body.

[00:06:19]To address this failure in the previous model, eight [music] was instead equipped with a function to gather degraded lunafilament into one place.

[00:06:26]First, the priority is to refine the lunafilament compound itself, then find a way to expel or extract the amassed degraded lunafilament. We have preliminary data that it would likely build up in the kidneys.

[00:06:38]So, seven or Diana just got of like the just got rid of this dead lunafilament stuff automatically.

[00:06:53]But eight accumulates it, which maybe is what led to her getting corrupted /being able to like control it.

[00:07:02]So, this is where we part ways.

[00:07:05]Yeah.

[00:07:06]You may forget who I am, but I will always remember you.

[00:07:12]Hey.

[00:07:13]We'll meet again someday.

[00:07:20]That's so nice of you.

[00:07:24]Too bad you're trying to murder us now.

[00:07:37]I mean, technically, I probably could just walk through the laser. Oh, it's a fair game, though.

[00:07:54]Shutdown record.

[00:07:57]DI0336-7 represented the first Pragmetal prototype equipped with an effective AI architecture capable of producing facial expressions closely aligned with those of Daisy at approximately seven or six years of age. While unsuitable for the objectives in the intended experiments, we could not bring ourselves to scrap it outright. The data gathered so far is bound to prove useful in some form.

[00:08:17]Accordingly, seven has been placed in indefinite storage awaiting a research application suited to its capabilities.

[00:08:22]Furthermore, to eliminate the possibility of residual test records producing confounding outcomes in future testing, >> [music] >> the unit's memory data was wiped out before The unit's memory was wiped before shutdown.

[00:08:32]Emergence of Pragmetal's personality.

[00:08:34]It's come to my attention that seven and eight call each other seven and eight.

[00:08:37]Presumably, they are using their last digit of their ID numbers as nicknames.

[00:08:41]They remind me of Daisy when she was even younger. She was always good at giving her stuffed animals and little pets unique names. Although we based their biometric data on Daisy, I didn't expect them to show this kind of personality.

[00:08:51]Could this really be a coincidence? No.

[00:08:53]It's best to not overthink it. In the end, they're prosthetic bodies built for Daisy's treatment. Nothing more, nothing less. You little [ __ ] Why even get into like testing AI and stuff if you can't sit there and be like, "Yeah, they've got a personality."

[00:09:10]This is something I should actually be mindful of, just a little bit.

[00:09:17]Is this the reactor room? Here we go.

[00:09:19]The reactor.

[00:09:21]Reactor room and a shotgun.

[00:09:25]We're going to get attacked. Oh, boy.

[00:09:31]Reactor, compact but powerful. Produces vast amounts of energy through chemical reactions.

[00:09:38]Damn it.

[00:09:39]Walked right into their trap.

[00:09:42]Yeah, well, we can handle some basic bots.

[00:09:46]Eat that.

[00:09:49]Hold up. Do we have a stasis net?

[00:09:52]There we go.

[00:10:01]Oh.

[00:10:02]I didn't see that a lancer had spawned.

[00:10:08]This is my turn.

[00:10:13]Ready.

[00:10:17]Diana, no. Look.

[00:10:23]Hey.

[00:10:25]Stay with me now.

[00:10:26]I'm fine.

[00:10:28]Really.

[00:10:30]Hold on.

[00:10:31]We're going to get you better.

[00:10:35]We got the reactor.

[00:10:37]We're going to get you cleaned up.

[00:10:39]You're going to be brand new, basically.

[00:10:41]Stay with me.

[00:10:43]Got the reactor. Now it's your turn.

[00:10:52]Oh.

[00:10:53]We have another cradle.

[00:10:56]We don't even have to go all the way to the other one.

[00:10:59]I find this thing a positive result.

[00:11:01]This could be the key to saving Daisy.

[00:11:05]All thanks to you, Eight.

[00:11:07]We must proceed carefully, but with your help, we'll get there.

[00:11:11]I guess I will have to pull the plug on Seven.

[00:11:14]A pity, but it's served its purpose.

[00:11:20]Uh, [ __ ] you, Dr. Higgins.

[00:11:22]He says I am useless.

[00:11:28]He put me in the bot.

[00:11:31]Shh.

[00:11:33]Easy now. I got you.

[00:11:37]It's okay, Diana.

[00:11:41]You're not useless.

[00:11:42]Dr. Higgins was just too narrow-sighted.

[00:11:54]Come on. Come on. Come on.

[00:12:05]Emery, back up.

[00:12:07]Over moments?

[00:12:13]Diana.

[00:12:23]Diana, how did you view all your moments as if they were from the same perspective we viewed them?

[00:12:27]>> These are memories.

[00:12:32]I was useless.

[00:12:34]I'm useless.

[00:12:36]No.

[00:12:37]Diana, stop.

[00:12:40]Don't think like that.

[00:12:42]Think about what you want.

[00:12:50]The ocean.

[00:12:53]I want to go with you.

[00:13:04]We're going to get you to the beach, kid. The real beach.

[00:13:09]You can analyze the the composition of the water, everything.

[00:13:21]Yeah, that's good.

[00:13:23]Real good.

[00:13:25]Just hang in there and we'll go anywhere you want.

[00:13:33]Oh, [ __ ] No.

[00:13:41]Damn it.

[00:13:43]Not now.

[00:13:48]I haven't even fought one of these normally. What in the [ __ ] am I going to do about this?

[00:13:56]Yeah, get the lead, [ __ ] There's got to be a weak spot I can access without hacking.

[00:14:07]It's all bio-corrupted after all.

[00:14:10]Damn it.

[00:14:12]We can't take this thing on alone. [ __ ] But the hell if I'm going to leave her here.

[00:14:16]Hang tight, Diana.

[00:14:18]I got you covered.

[00:14:22]I'm not even doing any damage.

[00:14:28][ __ ] I feel different.

[00:14:46]Something's changed.

[00:14:50]Hey, if you can hack THIS THING, THAT WOULD BE SWEET.

[00:15:00]WOAH. Deletion protocol initiated.

[00:15:09]Did she just one-shot it? Oh my god, Diana.

[00:15:16]Thanks.

[00:15:29]>> [panting] [panting] >> Nice rack, kiddo.

[00:15:49]>> [music] >> Thank you.

[00:15:54]I must say, not sure if you got a fix or an upgrade.

[00:16:00]Did I do good? You did great.

[00:16:03]You did great.

[00:16:07]Hey Hue, when that black stuff got on me, I just felt so sad and empty.

[00:16:17]Sad, huh?

[00:16:20]Like you picked up on her feelings or something through all that gunk?

[00:16:25]What if they feel like that all the time?

[00:16:29]But what she's doing, that's wrong.

[00:16:34]Yeah.

[00:16:36]I think so, too.

[00:16:38]Let's go stop her.

[00:16:40]>> [sighs and gasps] >> I want to know more about the instant kill ability you just got. Do we get that all the time or is it a Oh.

[00:16:53]Uh-oh.

[00:16:55]Oh, we're infected. Oh, god.

[00:17:00]No, don't uh We're out of here. Don't hide it with your mask. Hue, no.

[00:17:07]Deletion protocol.

[00:17:08]Diane's overdrive ability has been upgraded to deletion protocol.

[00:17:13]When activated, it opens nearby enemies, temporarily disables their movement, and deals heavy damage. It also cleanses dead filament and shrinks the hacking matrix to its smallest size.

[00:17:23]Sweet. So, we just have it all the time.

[00:17:28]So, if we get attacked by like say like this a bunch of [ __ ] enemies with the dead filament on them, one button and they're gone.

[00:17:34]Let's head back to the shelter to regroup. Put me in the suit.

[00:17:38]Give me this.

[00:17:40]I might need it.

[00:17:42]Oh my god.

[00:17:46]So, I guess the experimental pragmatics didn't have any like big loot for us to worry about. Oh, can I clear this out now?

[00:17:55]I can get rid of it now, too.

[00:17:58]Cleanse. Hold E to charge and unleash cleanse. Use cleanse on a scattered dead filament blocking your path to remove them. Cleanse will automatically recharge after a short time.

[00:18:07]Okay.

[00:18:10]We'll do it on this main one first.

[00:18:19]It takes a little bit for the charge to come back, which isn't great when it's you got back-to-back stuff like this.

[00:18:25]Oh, and it's not even like a big AoE thing.

[00:18:29]I was hoping to get it between there.

[00:18:33]All cleaned up.

[00:18:37]But hey, this is worth it 55.

[00:18:41]Filament.

[00:18:42]Basically like a box.

[00:18:45]Better box.

[00:18:48]This [ __ ] >> the tram, too.

[00:18:50]I'll handle it.

[00:18:53]All right, back to the shelter.

[00:18:55]Great.

[00:18:57]They're going to pull a fast one on us.

[00:18:59]Diane is not going to die. It's going to be you.

[00:19:02]Or he's going to get real close to it.

[00:19:06]A new destination has been added to the tram line. The central port is now accessible.

[00:19:12]Ah, central port.

[00:19:17]All the way to the middle. Finally.

[00:19:23]Once we're ready, let's head to the central port.

[00:19:26]We've got to stop Ada and get back to Earth.

[00:19:34]New functions have been added to the cabin system.

[00:19:38]Level four.

[00:19:39]>> Level upgraded. Central terminals now loaded with shiny new stuff.

[00:19:47]How are you feeling, Diana?

[00:19:49]Hey, >> [music] >> can you cleanse plants and living things like you do with bots?

[00:19:55]It won't work on them.

[00:19:56]On humans, it would wipe out the whole infected area.

[00:20:00]Not just the dead filament. [ __ ] And if a body gets hurt too bad, it'll die, right? Yeah.

[00:20:06]>> But, the dead filament just kind of sticks to them.

[00:20:10]Huh.

[00:20:12]I'm sure the team here tried all kinds of tests, too.

[00:20:16]Hey, Diana.

[00:20:17]Have you ever been swimming?

[00:20:19]Nope, never.

[00:20:21]Huh.

[00:20:22]Wonder if there's an upgrade for that.

[00:20:24]I don't know.

[00:20:26]But, I can try learning.

[00:20:28]I see.

[00:20:30]Well, don't worry. Stay close to the shore at first.

[00:20:33]And remember, if it ever feels like you can't handle it, no shame in turning back.

[00:20:38]Okay.

[00:20:40]Thanks, you. I don't like that we're giving central port. I wonder what it's like there.

[00:20:47]I don't like that we're giving her the information rather than assuming that we're going to make it and be able to teach her later.

[00:20:54]You never know when a kitty could just pop out of nowhere. So, I should carry a net so I can catch one next time.

[00:21:01]Uh, you better think twice before swinging a net at a cat.

[00:21:05]But, why? They're really fast. I can't grab them with my hands.

[00:21:10]Cats don't take kindly to being cornered.

[00:21:13]You got to earn their trust. Only then can you be their friend. So, just be patient and see if they'll come around on their own.

[00:21:22]Okay, I'll try.

[00:21:25]Or you can get the panini press. Bad kitties get the panini press.

[00:21:33]If Dead Filament ends up on Earth, could you cleanse it or something?

[00:21:38]Even if I tried really hard, it won't work.

[00:21:42]There's only so much I can do. The more living stuff Dead Filament eats, the bigger it gets.

[00:21:49]And Earth's covered in living things.

[00:21:52]Oh, yeah, it is.

[00:21:54]Didn't hurt to ask, [music] though.

[00:21:56]Remember our chat about Pragmata and humans being different?

[00:22:01]Um, yeah.

[00:22:03]I've been mulling it over.

[00:22:05]And I think Pragmata got souls, too. Aw.

[00:22:08]>> I do?

[00:22:09]Yeah.

[00:22:11]The soul's in the choices you make for yourself. [music] Don't forget that, okay?

[00:22:17]I won't, you.

[00:22:19]Thanks.

[00:22:23]We got to find a cure for Hugh.

[00:22:25]He's not allowed to die. You got to be there. You can't have Diana can't have two dead dads.

[00:22:32]That'd be really [ __ ] Hybrid mode. Open nodes and offense off- offensive nodes generate equally when hacking enemies that are exposed.

[00:22:43]Increases damage and extends open duration.

[00:22:55]Oh.

[00:23:01]Okay.

[00:23:03]That also explains some things. So, I've been using offense mode. I didn't realize that with offense mode the offensive nodes are different from like the open nodes.

[00:23:16]I thought like it would still ex- you know, keep you giving you like the extended time, but they are two different things, which is why you have this hybrid mode.

[00:23:23]Boost mode turns into boost nodes when hacking enemies are exposed. Completing a hack with a boost node amplifies hacking nodes.

[00:23:34]And I'm just looking at the video here.

[00:23:35]See, you got to do that and then if there's anything left on them, I guess that's that's uh Damn it.

[00:23:48]Still haven't unlocked another node slot, but I can get a mod slot at least.

[00:23:53]Oh, we can level up deletion protocol one more time.

[00:23:57]Damn, I'm feeling super broke.

[00:23:59]This is ridiculous.

[00:24:01]>> [laughter] >> Uh Oh, boy.

[00:24:05]I just cannot afford all of these.

[00:24:12]And I imagine I can now upgrade my go on a little bit more. This looks like these are the last sets, so I can upgrade my primary unit three more times.

[00:24:28]We've procured a new stamp book.

[00:24:31]Word. Please, have a gander.

[00:24:36]What we got on level four? Director.

[00:24:40]It's got two locked off areas. Regulith lab red zone and Luna filament red zone.

[00:24:48]This unit will generate the chain hacking node. This node allows you to continue hacking even after reaching the EXE node. The more chains you make, the the the damage you deal. That sounds kind of cool.

[00:24:58]Oh, she gets like a little a white outfit with horns. That's adorable.

[00:25:05]Hacking minds.

[00:25:07]Uh you can hack the minds to infuse them with the effects of hacking nodes.

[00:25:11]Neat.

[00:25:20]Okay, well, I'm I'm going to go for this red gate key for now. Oh, yes. This is one of our more popular items.

[00:25:31]And then maybe Oh my god damn.

[00:25:34]Oh my god damn, no.

[00:25:36]Oh, there are so many. There are so many [ __ ] trading simulations.

[00:25:42]Oh, no.

[00:25:44]Oh.

[00:25:52]This is too much.

[00:25:59]Uh Okay, let's do it.

[00:26:10]I need my upgrades.

[00:26:13]And they're expensive.

[00:26:23]Oh my god.

[00:26:25]If you lose line of sight, it just resets, huh? That sucks.

[00:26:44][ __ ] Oh, no.

[00:26:49]Okay.

[00:26:53]You got to like RNG.

[00:26:56]Hope that you only have to be one turn for each, god damn. Cuz if it's multiple turns, that sucks.

[00:27:11]At least we did that one first try.

[00:27:13]Uh defeat all enemies within 100 seconds.

[00:27:17]Sure.

[00:27:18]Nothing special, just kill the enemies.

[00:27:22]That's the best kind.

[00:27:24]I'm not trying to spend too long in this area.

[00:27:41]Send in the next batch.

[00:28:01]Aw, I only get the one slot. That's annoying.

[00:28:09]Don't stand IN THE ROAD.

[00:28:19]I HAVE TO BE DESPERATE.

[00:28:21]THIS PULSE CARBINE sucks so much.

[00:28:25]What laser? Oh, hey bud.

[00:28:33]Oh, [ __ ] I got baited. There's more behind it.

[00:28:44]Take this.

[00:28:52]That's okay. That's why I saved the shotgun.

[00:28:57]Damn, this thing sucks though.

[00:29:10]>> [music] >> They're really trolling me having these uh weapons not be the upgraded versions.

[00:29:22]Expert project pierce. Oh boy.

[00:29:34]Um Oh, I didn't know the platform was going to move. That makes sense.

[00:29:58]Hopefully I don't get cocked on the uh the timing of this since I missed the first chance.

[00:30:06]We did it.

[00:30:12]No.

[00:30:14]Oh, this is going to be tricky.

[00:30:22]Yeah, [ __ ] Okay.

[00:30:30]Just retry.

[00:30:36]There's a uh there's a secondary platform I could have dropped onto. I just didn't know I was going to have to.

[00:30:42][ __ ] Not even. Not even.

[00:30:48]We're not keeping that one.

[00:30:56]Damn it.

[00:30:59]It takes too long to charge up.

[00:31:03]I guess that's that.

[00:31:17]It's over.

[00:31:25]I guess that's that. Okay.

[00:31:35]Easy peasy. That's all I needed to do. I just needed to get I had to be on the center platform.

[00:31:50]Grip gun, shock wave gun.

[00:31:54]Complete without taking damage. Oh boy.

[00:32:05]Watch out for targeting centers.

[00:32:08]Now it's my turn.

[00:32:11]I had faith.

[00:32:12]>> Incoming.

[00:32:13]I GOT IT.

[00:32:16]STEP OFF.

[00:32:23]IS THAT IT? I'M I'M NOT WAITING FOR THIS TO reload all the way.

[00:32:28]Get back, bear.

[00:32:32]Look team, missile spotted. Oh, [ __ ] Watch out, there's more.

[00:32:44]Right back at you.

[00:32:46]Be careful.

[00:32:52]Get off.

[00:32:58]Ooh, well, I I I I I I I I I got it.

[00:33:00]Just barely.

[00:33:01]We did it. Get off. Incoming. Oh, titties.

[00:33:07]Keep them shooting at me.

[00:33:13]Oh, no.

[00:33:19]Right back at you.

[00:33:22]LOOK OUT.

[00:33:27]I AM OVERWHELMED.

[00:33:32]NO.

[00:33:37]Missile spotted.

[00:33:50]Well, I did all that taking damage.

[00:33:52][ __ ] Look out FOR INCOMING MISSILES.

[00:34:12]IT'S OVER. I OWE YOU ONE. SOMETHING'S AIMING AT US.

[00:34:21]INCOMING.

[00:34:24]MISSILE ATTACK.

[00:34:35]>> DAMN IT.

[00:34:45]RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

[00:34:47]All right, here's where we're going to use the uh shotgun on this basic dude.

[00:34:50]Watch out, THERE'S MORE.

[00:34:53]MOVE, YOU.

[00:34:54]PROJECTILE INCOMING.

[00:34:57]I [ __ ] UP. OH my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. This is coming.

[00:35:05]Please, no.

[00:35:07]Oh.

[00:35:13]Step off.

[00:35:17]Okay.

[00:35:22]This is horrifying. Get some.

[00:35:25]I don't think I'm making it here.

[00:35:27]Watch out, there's more.

[00:35:32]No.

[00:35:33]Incoming.

[00:35:51]I hate that they give us a [ __ ] shotgun in this one.

[00:35:58]Watch out, particle cannon.

[00:36:00]Versus a bunch of enemies that uh are floating off the stage.

[00:36:04]>> They're coming at us.

[00:36:07]WATCH OUT.

[00:36:12]BACK OFF.

[00:36:18]READY?

[00:36:24]OH.

[00:36:25]I ALMOST GOT [ __ ] dropped right there.

[00:36:40]Oh, what the Holy [ __ ] that was close. Okay.

[00:36:55]No, I took damage. [ __ ] That guy is the biggest [ __ ] threat of this. It sucks.

[00:37:09][ __ ] off. Okay.

[00:37:33]Okay.

[00:37:36]No, [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you so much. Truly [ __ ] you. I hate you so much. You're the worst. Retry.

[00:37:45]>> [laughter] >> God damn it.

[00:38:20]>> Incoming.

[00:38:27]Incoming.

[00:38:33]Okay. Just try to play safe. We got time now.

[00:38:45]MISSILE SPOTTED.

[00:38:48]THANKS, I GOT YOU. That sucks.

[00:38:55]Got him.

[00:38:56]Okay.

[00:38:59]I'm able to shotgun this one from down here. Good enough.

[00:39:03]Not perfect. Not speed runner times. But it the the job is done.

[00:39:17]I wish they'd just given me a charge gun. Would have been done immediately. But you know, that's the challenge.

[00:39:26]That looks awful.

[00:39:29]Destroy four storage boxes.

[00:39:34]All right.

[00:39:38]All right, game.

[00:39:43]No, I didn't have All right, retry.

[00:39:45]I didn't have enough thrust.

[00:40:07]I still really wish that like they would just let you keep your upgrades.

[00:40:18]Oh, [ __ ] you, game. damn.

[00:40:28]It sucks going from like, "Oh, I have five thruster usages to I have one."

[00:40:34]I have one before I'm like burnt on stamina. Like, what the [ __ ] Okay.

[00:41:01]Yeah, let's do this.

[00:41:06]I'm here. I made it. Oh my god, with 1 second.

[00:41:09]>> [laughter] >> Please. Thank god.

[00:41:17]Almost made it through without getting hit by the lasers.

[00:41:22]Walker family. Defeat all enemies within 150 seconds.

[00:41:26]Sure. Deal the damage using enemies. Oh, that one's a little tougher.

[00:41:38]God damn.

[00:41:41]God damn.

[00:41:47]Oh, I only get two? [ __ ] I Good job, GETTING HOLD ON. HOLD ON. THERE WE GO. OKAY.

[00:42:11]I DON'T HAVE TO do anything crazy.

[00:42:14]It was just the hacking while we really haven't seen that one too much, which is really surprising.

[00:42:18]It would definitely out It would definitely be annoying always running into it.

[00:42:29]Check.

[00:42:35]Wait, they're swarming up.

[00:42:38]Owie.

[00:42:39]Drone.

[00:42:40]Be careful.

[00:42:43]Oh my god, damn.

[00:42:45]Careful, THEY'RE HOT.

[00:42:49]RESET.

[00:42:51]I got to heal.

[00:42:52]Just a little bit.

[00:42:54]I owe you one.

[00:43:01]One of the things that can be really unfortunate in this game is I sometimes I'm trying to hack whoever's at my cursor, but it hacks whoever's like off to the side.

[00:43:20]You should all take this.

[00:43:25]We still [ __ ] enemies, dude. Jesus.

[00:43:36]Like who the [ __ ] did I even hack right there, dude? I'm trying to HACK THE BIG DUDE.

[00:43:42]Catch up.

[00:43:43]He's the biggest threat.

[00:43:46]Watch out, there's more.

[00:43:54]Wait, they're swarming up.

[00:44:09]Get up. I owe you one.

[00:44:13]Cool queue.

[00:44:15]I don't think I'm getting this.

[00:44:23][ __ ] Homing missile is not the call.

[00:44:31]Now it's my turn.

[00:44:41]Retry.

[00:44:46]Okay, what are my options here?

[00:44:50]I have drone hive, O generator, riot blaster, O town laser.

[00:45:01]Okay, this is good enough.

[00:45:03]>> [music] >> What in the hat?

[00:45:13]Yeah.

[00:45:14]Cool queue.

[00:45:16]WATCH OUT, THERE'S MORE.

[00:45:19]HOW YOU LIKE THIS?

[00:45:31]OKAY, my drones are doing too much.

[00:45:32]Stop.

[00:45:37]There it is.

[00:45:39]It's like they're growing up.

[00:45:42]Oh my god, [ __ ] coming out the woodwork. Just like that, huh?

[00:45:53]You.

[00:46:00]Stop right there.

[00:46:04]Oh, I [ __ ] up. I double [ __ ] up. I triple [ __ ] up.

[00:46:12]Oh, wow.

[00:46:14]This is not good.

[00:46:17]This is my turn.

[00:46:20]Right on.

[00:46:27]I don't think this is going to be the run.

[00:46:30]Watch out, there's more.

[00:46:33]Be careful.

[00:46:50]The slaughter IS BUILDING UP.

[00:46:54]YAY.

[00:47:06]OH, THE MAGIC OF THE PHOTON LASER.

[00:47:11]Screw you.

[00:47:19]It's so much better than the missile launcher.

[00:47:22]I haven't used it in hours though.

[00:47:31]Oh boy, expert locksmith.

[00:47:35]Complete with no failed hacks. Complete within 45 seconds.

[00:47:43]This is going to be the ultimate challenge.

[00:47:47]Might have to pull out the controller for this one.

[00:47:57]Oh, [ __ ] Okay, retry.

[00:48:02]Damn, that platform moves fast.

[00:48:07]Oh, I [ __ ] myself.

[00:48:13]I got to stop trying to hack.

[00:48:16]I got to touch platform first. Okay.

[00:48:26]Okay.

[00:48:43]I don't know how many hacks I have to do here. Surely there's a bunch more.

[00:48:52]Uh [ __ ] No.

[00:48:59]I didn't even make it anyways.

[00:49:03]I panicked. I had to rush.

[00:49:16]Okay, I'm here.

[00:49:30]I was worried they were going to do a lot more for this complete with no failed hack stuff, but they're all the just the basic starting stuff.

[00:49:43]That's what I was worried about. [ __ ] Oh, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.

[00:49:55]Oh, thank god.

[00:49:58]I barely made it.

[00:50:06]Yeah, I was worried they were going to like have us swerving back and forth, but it would like fail if I stopped >> [music] >> or lost sight, but it doesn't fail.

[00:50:15]Doesn't fail.

[00:50:16]Okay.

[00:50:18]Well, that should be a lot of materials.

[00:50:24]It's all going to my gun.

[00:50:31]Oh, the last level.

[00:50:34]It gives us one more ammo and it gets rid of recoil?

[00:50:42]What about this?

[00:50:47]I should have checked.

[00:50:48]This is the gun that needs the the recoil to be gone.

[00:50:51]24 bullets sounds nice though.

[00:50:54]Still, I mean, look at this. 74 damage a bullet, 102 stagger rate.

[00:50:59]Obviously, you know, this is supposed to be like high fire rate, but yeah, it just needs some adjustments.

[00:51:25]I think I'll go for uh Honestly, I think I'd go for combust mode.

[00:51:35]I'm not really going for like hacking damage. It's nice when I can get a hack that's like 1 to 3,000 damage on the enemy, but it's not really my frequent go to.

[00:51:54]Whereas having an enemy like constantly getting stunned by heat sounds pretty useful.

[00:52:17]Oh, look at that. Oh my god, triple charge for the charge piercer? Oh, I'm glad I saw that.

[00:52:23]Holy hell.

[00:52:33]I kind of regret like putting so much money into the homing missile. I really uh Really mid. Really mid versus some of the other stuff.

[00:52:47]Oh, we'll give it more of a chance.

[00:52:49]An impeccable choice.

[00:52:56]Oh, yes. This is one of our more popular items. Bingo. See your boy number seven.

[00:53:04]Well done.

[00:53:11]Oh, is that every hack unlocked?

[00:53:23]I'm curious what it means by chaining though.

[00:53:28]I guess you just keep hacking over and over and over again?

[00:53:42]I I that was a mode, honestly. A chaining mode would be sick. That would be the thing I think that would make me use hack as like a primary damage source way more often.

[00:53:50]>> Let's move out to the central port and take care of eight.

[00:53:54]Wait, hold on.

[00:53:56]We got this report here. Transmission from F. Only two full days remain until I can kiss my press pass goodbye. I need to make every moment count because I can't go home without meeting him. If I fail now, then what was the point of any of this?

[00:54:08]Well, look at that. Got a ping on my terminal. Now, who the hell's trying to reach me?

[00:54:12]Holy cannoli, I still got it. That was cutting it close, but I knew luck would come through for me. The transmission is from employee F. That's right, the one who raised an eyebrow about the whole eyebrow about the whole AI rollout. And get this, the signal was routed from experimental pragmatics.

[00:54:27]I'm so close. I can almost taste it.

[00:54:29]Okay, time for the rundown. Our pal, Mr. F, caught wind that a reporter, yours truly, had been sniffing around the cradle. And now he's got a request. Just like I figured, the guy's no fan of the new AI system. He works in experimental pragmatics, some kind of technician. Now that the AI has been shoved in the service, he's trying to get off this dumb rock. Can't say I blame him. He's asking for help with this his exit.

[00:54:49]Apparently, technicians aren't free to come and go as they please. Naturally, I proposed a deal. I told him if he wants my help, he better cough up everything he knows about that damn lab he works in.

[00:54:58]He was pussyfooting at first, but I pushed harder. I said straight to him, "Tell me everything you know about Dr. Neil Higgins." Seems like I struck a nerve. Bingo, baby. The man I've been opening up after since day one. Uh sorry. Bingo, baby. The man I've been after since day one has been hiding just where I thought. Mr. F kept quiet, but the truth was plain as day. He's sitting on a secret that he's dying to spill, like a rat in a cage, no way out.

[00:55:20]He asked for some time to mull it over.

[00:55:22]"Give me a day," he said. I'm betting he'll come through. After all, the return flight's in just 2 days, and everything, and I mean everything, is on the line.

[00:55:38]All right, double checking some things.

[00:55:42]Stasis net has been amazing. I don't really care about impact barrier, but I've realized that the drone hives stagger enemies pretty hardcore.

[00:55:58]It might still be better for me to just DD guys.

[00:56:02]Try to bust mode.

[00:56:07]I will replace freeze with heat.

[00:56:11]Try that out.

[00:56:15]Oh, this D code really doesn't give us much.

[00:56:18]Only a 1.5 damage multiplier.

[00:56:29]Yeah, we'll try this out. Economize.

[00:56:32]Maybe that'll be really good.

[00:56:35]Ooh, especially with like this. Last shot of non-primary units deal 50% more damage. That sounds kind of sick.

[00:56:58]I really I think I might not equip this critical shot thing. I was hoping it would be really really cool and like damage the entire area, but I've noticed sometimes I'll use it and then the enemy like like 10 ft away won't even have taken any damage that's like noticeable.

[00:57:20]Is there anything I'd replace it with though?

[00:57:37]>> I mean Ah, [ __ ] it.

[00:57:47]We'll keep it.

[00:57:50]Now, I'm curious about some things. We did get the crystal clearing item, so we'll finish off some of the backtracking.

[00:58:05]Maybe there's some really cool stuff there. I mean surely a box I'm going all the way back for [music] with like an almost end game ability gives me end game items.

[00:58:38]>> [music]
