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.

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!

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!

However, before they can call in the Erasure Squads, they’ll have to face off against the parasite queen, the progenitor of the alien infestation. Can they steal the key and escape with their lives? Will Gavin get himself destroyed in a foolhardy display of bravado? And what about that Fa Jing mechanic who’s been aboard their ship since they arrived?

With Proxy Steel and his recovery ship in tow, the gang heads to a remote Fa Jing mining outpost in order to retrieve a passkey from a former Firewall operative stationed there. Masquerading as the entourage and security crew of an inner-system hyper-elite, they manage to infiltrate the colony without turning heads. However, what should be a simple mission turns into an all-out battle for survival when it becomes clear that everyone on the asteroid unlucky enough to be sleeved into a biomorph is infested with a deadly xeno-parasite. Fists, bullets, our characters and terrifying alien insects fly in an action-packed microgravity skirmish. Can our favorite Firewall Sentinels brave the bugs and make it out with the key? Listen to this week’s episode of Self-Discovery to find out!
