In this week’s episode, The Titor House appears in the far future, where a tense stalemate exists between The Adversaries and The Employers. It seems as though the opposition has a secret weapon, some sort of espionage device that could turn the tide in their favor. As such, it’s up to Freddie, Gertrude, Patrick, Jack, Dan, Malcolm and Brandon to journey to The Adversaries’ stronghold, discover what it is they’re hiding, and either destroy it or capture it for their mysterious benefactors. However, first they’ll need to cross a foreboding desert crawling with murderous raiders. As they journey towards their goal, the Titor House team begin experiencing bizarre memory skips, the true cause of which none of their powers can reveal. Can they make it to The Adversaries’ fortress in The Forbidden City, or will they end up as the captives of barbarous slave traders? Listen to find out!

When two detectives are called in to investigate a gruesome murder in the small town of Skiatook, Oklahoma, they are hardly prepared for the scene that awaits them. They find the body mounted to the wall, its entrails spilled from a surgically precise abdominal wound, its lungs removed. No sooner than they finish attending to the crime scene, another body is discovered with the same wounds a few blocks away. Suddenly, the chase is on, but are they pursuing a single deranged killer or multiple perps who have committed similar mutilations? As the two detectives race to uncover clues, it becomes evident that more of Skiatook’s residents are in danger, but they lack the time and the resources to protect everyone at risk. Can they figure out what motivated the killings, who committed them and who might be next before another body turns up? Listen to find out!

Introductions ◊ Dotty’s Dead Friend Makes Enemies ◊ Enoch Taunts Mr. Drakenslager ◊ Josie Wrough Welcomes the New Arrivals ◊ Ghosts of Candlewick Manor ◊ Pricilla Petty Picks a Fight ◊ The Orphans’ Sleeping Arrangements ◊ Barry Toink Blocks the Path ◊ Cecil Musk, Chef Sangrioli and a Midnight Snack ◊ The Ghost Under The Bed ◊ Altercation over Breakfast ◊ “Dr. Davenfirth” [sic] Administers an Aptitude Test ◊ Duncan Finds an Unlikely Mentor

In Rag-NERD-rok’s newest campaign, four Pathetic Children with unseemly abilities and unsettlingly monstrous deformities are transported to The Candlewick Home for the Unwanted and Unloved. There’s Duncan, a simple but amiable lad of ten. He may be a bit soft in the head, but he stands six feet tall and his torso is encased within a thick protective carapace, so it is unwise to arouse his ire. Enoch is a troubled child of nine whose fondness for his teddy bear and meticulously neat appearance would surely make him the target of other children’s scorn–if he couldn’t see their secret inner guilts and deepest sins, that is. Dotty is a sickly looking girl who often talks to herself or, really, the spirits of the departed that seem to flock to her at all hours of the day. There are times when she can even make them do her bidding. Finally, there’s Jareth–no, not that Jareth–a boy with a singular talent for always having what he needs on hand. Well, in hand, anyway–inside his hollow arm where he keeps all his stuff. What does the future hold for these four waifs, and–more importantly–can they survive their first night at Candlewick Manor? Listen to find out!

When we last left our team of Firewall Sentinels, they had just left the transhuman performance art piece / kilometer-long ensouled flesh cylinder known as MeatHab in order to infiltrate a ship of apex predators. Aboard the enemy vessel, they discovered a group of kidnapped ringers who served as the sapient quarry for these self-modified hunters. As they explore the ship, it becomes increasingly clear that something besides a nest of exhumans is at play–but what? Can the Sentinels learn the truth about the Hunting Grounds, defeat its crew of ravening gene-hacked monstrosities, and prevent the plot to contaminate the rings of Saturn with a deadly psychotropic fungus, or will they be blindsided by a threat they could hardly anticipate? Find out, on the final episode of “Manhunters!”
