Part 8. Berry sorry for the delay, my dearest listeners... Be(e)hold, the penultimate episode! The Seed Vault is a mess, and so are its occupants (recent guests included). In awe and terror of the Imago's presence, the party attempts a daring escape with their new traveling companion and cargo--time to #LegIt4TheExit. Hog has an idea. Some survivors speak ill of the dead.  Neon Genesis Empress-gelion 8.0: Things Might (Not) Be OK.  

++ Plus: We have some hot mikes in the cold open and body of the episode--Trevor leaves his camera and mic on for too long... We have a bit of theory-crafting post-credits. We definitely recorded one of our sessions on an April 20th and this might have been it. Remember: Enjoy responsibly.
