Complications arise when two of the team’s members succumb to a TITAN brain hack aboard Steel’s recovery ship, touching off a conflict that could potentially tear them apart. Can Dalton, Elis and Amir stop Lucas and Doc Skeelaxx from killing each other over a worthless artifact, or will their inexplicable desire to possess it lead to a bloody Fury on Neo-Avian battle?

In this game, we take on the roles of our enemies in The Prometheus Syndicate. Our goal is to capture and secure a specially-designed farcaster located in the long-abandoned Zrbny mining facility in the asteroid belt. During The Fall, Zrbny shut down for eight days, only to mysteriously come back online with no mention of the interruption of service. Since then, no one has set foot on the asteroid where it is located, and Ash, the station’s public relations AGI, warns off any ships that approach too closely. Those who fail to heed the warning quickly learn just how heavily armed the facility’s defense system is. Moreover, the station has run completely on automation for the past ten years, a fact that has led the wary locals to refer to the place as Zombieland. Can a scum machinist, a demolitions expert and a bitter AGI construct infiltrate Zombieland and wrest control from Ash, or will they join the ranks of the foolhardy adventure seekers who thought they could beat the odds? Listen to find out!

In this session, our Firewall Sentinels wrap up the personal missions they began last time. Elis must keep a devastating virus from wreaking havoc on the mesh when a vengeful AGI tries to wipe out the company that created it. Gavin delves deeper into the dangerous underworld of the Martian drug trade, forging an alliance between The Night Cartel in Valles New Shanghai and an upstart manufacturer in order to keep the peace in Elysium. Dalton locates his mark, but devises a dangerous gambit in order to free himself from his bounty once and for all. Damien shows just how despicably far he’ll go in order to take revenge on an escaped slave who dares to blackmail him. And finally, Lucas completes his mission for Direct Action with a typically precise application of deadly force. This week’s Actual Play is a hair-raising, character-driven game of Eclipse Phase, so don’t miss it!

In this episode of Godfire, the team from Firewall is stranded on Mars in the aftermath of their incredible fuck-up at Tether, and in their newly-found free time, each Sentinel goes on a personal mission. Gavin receives a message from a notorious drug dealer and former associate of his who needs a favor, and is willing to give him the doctor who sold Dalton to the Night Cartel if he does it. After his encounter with Gray Xu in Olympus, Dalton must deal with his rising profile as the space mafia’s higher-ups grow ever more eager to capture him. Doc Skeelaxx is contacted by a former Gatecrasher who has brought back an illegal specimen through one of the Pandora Gates, and wishes to have it examined by a professional with dubious morals. Lucas must hunt down and neutralize a Direct Action weapons designer who plans to defect to Gorgon with the blueprints of his latest invention. Elis faces her toughest hacking challenge yet when an anarchist cell brings a disembodied AI construct to her and asks her to jailbreak a robotic body in which to sleeve it. Damien finds his past misdeeds come back to haunt him when a man who he fork-napped and sold into slavery tries to blackmail him so that he can get his old life back. Finally, Amir, the only Sentinel to survive the nuclear explosion on Tether (because he wasn’t there), has to take the train from Olympus to Elysium–what could possibly go wrong?
