Nat 20 & Unwind — Vault of the Black Star (The Lost Missions Debrief)

The first simulation is complete. The team emerges from the Vault of the Black Star — shaken, half-intact, and missing more than a few memories. In this debrief, the cast steps out of the Syndicate’s simulation to unpack what just happened.

We break down how the mission played out, what went wrong in the Still Cold, and which mechanics tested the limits of sanity. From corrupted memory checks to zero-gravity combat, this Unwind episode explores how Vault of the Black Star blurred the line between player and experiment.

Expect laughter, theorycrafting, and post-mission confessions as the crew compares notes on The Archivist Below and what the simulation might be trying to teach them.
