The plans to save LA are getting closer to completion, there's just one little hitch: Gears needs a device being held by Silver Security. He needs to get it, so of course he's going to recruit help from Switch, but there's someone else he's hired to help, and some members of #Trending might take some issue with it. NOTE: My audio has some issues in the 75 minute mark due to multiple recording failures, but Cat's a great editor so you won't be missing anything crucial!
