If you downloaded Ep 4 on release day, please manually refresh the episode RSS. The new audio is up now, so if you hit play and it starts with the usual theme song, you are all set and don't have to do anything! 

I was on vacation/ got married this past weekend and forgot I had raw audio uploaded to our host as a placeholder, and that went live instead of our usual stellar (see what I did there) production. Thank you all for being patient.

As a apology gift here's a nice calm loop of Nedrak's Theme by Jonathan from the Prologue game on the island.

We rejoin the crew of the Resonance hot off of their battle in Barbalil, a second pre-scream artifact secured. As they make their way to the next set of deciphered coordinates, the planet Ephet-Izaki, we get a rare glimpse at the mundane lives of world class pirates. Infestations, robots, photographs, and a resource crisis all keep the long spike drill rides...interesting. On planet, Madam N.O.S. (Kiley) revisits her Alma Mater, CaseyNova's (Luis) latest creation roams menacingly, Tantalus (Laura) steals from a professor, Veil (Mary)  does the captains job for them, and Sasha (Bobby) hallucinates with some college kids. With so many distractions will they remember to find the hidden artifact? Find out on Children of the Spine - Prequel Part III!
