This week, the treacherous exploration of an abandoned TITAN city continues! Our beset Firewall Sentinels complete their trek across Cocytus and investigate Elysium, another facet of the cube city that’s home to a disturbing village of Fall survivors. Not only that, but they’ll also have to keep Dalton’s morph fed with fresh blood, involuntarily participating in a bizarre sociological experiment devised by rogue machine gods. Can they navigate a treacherous ice passage, escape a crowd of mindless exsurgents, and figure out the secret behind the mysterious life-sustaining plants that the TITANs have bestowed upon the village, or will they once again be swept up in their own petty squabbling? Listen to find out!

This week, our team of Firewall Sentinels sets off across Cocytus, the second facet of the TITAN city of Tartarus. They plan on exploring every nook and cranny before heading to confront the Prometheus Syndicate in Styx, but are they prepared for the unsettling encounters they’ll have along the way? In this episode, they’ll be forced to deal with rogue forks sleeved in their original morphs, a TITAN warbot bent on wiping them out, and the creeping paranoia that’s slowly tearing the team apart. How long can our characters last in this madness before they lose their minds permanently?

The answer is still uncertain.

This week, our stalwart team of Firewall Sentinels begins their journey through the expansive ruins of Tartarus, a TITAN-created city located somewhere in the outer system. Sleeved in bizarre morphs with unknown and untested abilities, they’ll have to brave the hazards of a physics-defying urban nightmare created by insane machine gods in order to secure some bit of important intel for the organization. In this horrific landscape, they’ll encounter sanity-racked egos trapped in endless torment, wild artificials executing the lunatic experiments of their absent masters, and a host of other extremely troubling things. Will they be able to find weapons and clothing somewhere in the city? Exactly what has the Prometheus Syndicate been up to here? And most important of all, can they escape this mind-shattering maze of endless anguish with their psyches intact? Give a listen to find out!

In the previous episode of Bump in the Night, an Oversight auditor and his team of “independent contractors” were sent to the quarantined Venusian aerostat of Parvarti to investigate a mysterious outbreak among the mostly transient population. They discovered that the so-called infection was merely a side-effect caused by a secret application of a low-grade medical nano, the unintended consequence of an XP harvesting operation run by the Night Cartel. With the inhabitants of Parvarti on the edge of panic over the quarantine and time running out before the outside world comes calling, the players will have to find the gangsters responsible for the fiasco and neutralize them. Can they take out a space mafia stronghold without getting capped, or will they find themselves at the mercy of a sadistic mafia boss and her squad of Olympian goons? Listen to this week’s Actual Play to find out!

Following their narrow escape from the alien-infested Fa Jing mining colony, our team of Firewall Sentinels sets off on the next leg of their mission. Proxy Steel, his memories restored, informs them that the Prometheus Syndicate has captured a notorious automated facility in the Main Belt where TITAN remnants have constructed a one-way farcaster. He dispatches them to infiltrate Zombieland and transmit their minds into the unknown. First though, they’ll have to fight their way through the station’s many defenses, and confront EliOT, the bitter AGI who now controls the facility. Can they survive a brutal robotic onslaught, defeat a psychotic infolife hacker, and capture the farcaster? What horrifying trials await them on the other side? And just what exactly is going on between Elis and EliOT, anyway? Listen in to find out!
