Thank you so much to Joanna for commissioning this episode, and please accept my heartfelt apologies for not getting through the entire 6th chapter. I completely lost track of time and I will make up for it, I swear!
These chapters are really fun and interesting. There are so many wild projects that Nikolai is working on, and I love how he's using this guy Kirigin as a front for it all. I'm also delighted that Nikolai enjoys Zoya for exactly who she is and isn't captivated by some idea of her secret softness. Meanwhile, there's a whole thing happening at this factory where Nina et. al are doing recon, and she's stumbled on something clearly sinister.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you all again soon with a new episode!
