After returning from a successful trip into the Phistosen Wastes, the Phoenix Pham arrives to find Nova Voxis in a state of turmoil. A large crowd has formed around two figures, and one is a familiar face. What has happened in the time our heroes was gone? Why has a fight broken out in the safe haven of Nova Voxis? And who is that very large bear?

Time to step out into the Phistosen Wastes! It's an alien, unforgiving land where most of the local fauna has never seen a group of humans. What secrets will the Phoenix Pham find? Will they be able to protect the excitable Dr. Lucius Leggett? And what was that movement out in the swamp?

At the end of last episode the Phoenix Pham finds Dr. Lucius Leggett working on what appears to be a True AI core. Another scientist interested in True AI, but is he to be trusted? What new mysteries about this pretech art has he been able to uncover? And what stories have been lost in time (like tears in rain) when the core of this being shattered? Perhaps only time will tell...or a little trip into the Phistosen Wastes.

Our heroes find themselves landing in the city of Nova Voxis on the planet of Phistos and greeted by a familiar name but unfamiliar face. Arcas gratefully takes his leave into the megafactory to find his lost comrades. Is this the last we've seen of Arcas? What new adventures await the Phoenix Pham out in the Phistosen Wastes? And what's that billowing smoke that is rising above the outer wall?

Aaron Vershin has finally found the location of our heroes after weeks of searching. What will come of this confrontation? Will Glazov 5 and the Phoenix be pushed into a battle of starships? Will he demand the return of Claire? And who is that person on the ship with him? Listen to how the Phoenix Pham deals with these unexpected visitors in Episode 42 - Prepare for Trouble and Make It Double!

Our party finds themselves witnessing an unexpected reunion between Arcas and Rhodana. How do these two Ursim know each other? And did they part on good terms? After the situation resolves the Phoenix Pham explores Glazov 5 to see what has happened since they left nearly a month prior and reconnect with an old acquaintance.

As our heroes fly through space in-between they find themselves with a lot of time on their hands. A dinner made by Claire, a heart to heart with Nona, some yoga with Micah. Just another trip through metadimensional space on their way to Glazov 5.

The Phoenix Pham searches one of Dr. Samantha Calvin's many labs in hopes that Nona might learn more about where she came from and what she is missing and find Eddy. Eddy has been alone for quite a long time, and there's only so much loneliness one virtual intelligence can take.

The signs of unrest are already stirring when our party returns to Jade with the "Orchid Dossier" in tow: withdrawal frenzies, supermarket rushes, halted construction. What will happen once the proverbial Sporan is out of the bag? Not wanting to dwell too long on the answer to that question, our heroes prepare for one last errand before leaving Orsiame.

Coming face to face with a feral psychic is a very dangerous situation, and  the Phoenix Pham have to make a choice. With the possibility of incriminating evidence of the current Orsimian Chancellorship just across the room, what will our heroes do? Run? Fight? Or perhaps try to reason with this lost soul? Only one way to find out, listening to Episode 37 - Dorian Gray Lends a Hand!
