Ep. 13 Chapt. 11 "Loyal Heartbeat"

It's a rather dark turn of events for both Jameson Mayfield and Martin Barnett. Jameson, separated from his witch companion, Adrienne, finds himself a prisoner in an Imperial-controlled work camp. Will Adrienne's final words to him provide a clue, and will her charm protect him from the chilling dangers that lurk within the fences and barbed wire of the Wilton Progress Facility? Meanwhile, Martin Barnett is taken to the abandoned town of Wayward, presumably to assist Imperial agents with investigating the ghoul sightings back home.

Ep. 12 Chapt. 10 "Tornado Chamberlain"

Several weeks have passed...

Martin Barnett is now a Master Airman at Tornado Base, learning to fly a "bifighter" against the Confederate aggressors. We meet a new character, "Dodge" Stodder, Martin's best (and only) friend in camp and a former Property from the Confederation. Meanwhile, Major Humphrey (formerly Cecil Griffith) and Nigel Edmund Wesley make themselves at home in Fort Chamberlain, Illinois, where the full details of the stolen punchcard are revealed. 

Robby's "25 in 50" contest is still LIVE! And, seriously, we haven't had a single guess come in, so LCY has stuck her pointy metal nose into RBY's handiwork. The "revised" contest is unveiled mid-show. 

And ... composer Jeff joins us again, rolling on behalf of some NPCs!
