1/7/2026 GTA Recap - "You Sound Like A Toilet"

Buddha not feeling well, got no rest, not a long stream
Lang catches up with Arush who's been away for the holidays. Lang jokes about blowing things up, Arush doesn't want to start talking about that because more than 3 people told him that Lang blew up his club house. Lang argues this, threatening to know who blamed him for it. Lang claims there wasn't a trial for it (there was), and Arush thinks there isn't any respect for things in New Babylon. Arush will get his revenge, but it will take time.

Lang checks with Harry and Skipper to see how things are going. The Clowns kidnapped the pirates last night, so they're at war. Lang suggests that Skipper take the silliest people around to go fight the Clowns today. Bjorn was pinged to Stag's old boat house, he found a book with a chip about Echelon. He investigated a little, but he isn't sure what could be related yet. Harry is frustrated that the properties that were lost were not his responsibility, Lang sends him to take Arush to handle it.

Lang goes for a drive, running into someone from the city looking for a new arm.

Lang gives the tablet back to CJ and goes to bed.
