Roll to Breathe

Before we dive back into the world of our troubled teen superheroes, we take time to flesh out our version of Halcyon City. Who is Maggie McIntyre, and who did she fight? Who is the ex-hero that killed Hal Monroe's team, and what is his history? How many aliens have passed through Halcyon? Why did the Good Boy pick that particular name? All this and more will be answered in today's episode! (Though if you don't like worldbuilding episodes, you can safely skip this and go into the next season without it.)

The game we played today is Signal Light, a Masks-themed hack of Microscope. Microscope was written by Ben Robbins; Signal Light was written by James Malloy.

The crew begins their next job smuggling a radical out of the watchful gaze of the debt collectors, but both ships encounter a single officer to check their cargo. The Edge 7 finds themselves facing a violent and all-too-familiar foe who threatens to pull their ship apart. The decoy vessel, on the other hand, has an eerily pleasant chat...

The crew takes time before their next big job to relax and enjoy each other's company, but trouble is afoot. Kellen shares his anxieties with Korvavev as they cook, and Amy nowhere to be found with decorations. What's more, someone from Amy's past shows up to demand her back, and finds that they have more of a history with this crew than they could have known...

Reeling from the strain of the last job, where almost everything went wrong, the crew finds time to recover. Korvavev, Kellen and Amy discuss the next job and make plans to throw a party for their friends. Doc goes to Crux to repair his arm and ask some uncomfortable questions. And the newest passenger on board Edge 7, Beckett, has some questions for a certain gemstone that may push her to a breaking point...

We weren't able to record this week, so here's another episode from our Patreon vault. This one is a oneshot taking place in the same universe (though not the same sector of space) as Junkyard Elysium. Regular programming will resume next week; enjoy!

A man named Keno Murphey is found dead in his apartment. Sheriff Diana Pierce calls in Doctor Samara (Chris) and Mnemologist Clyde (Bee) to help her figure out what happened. As she waits for the medical reports, she learns that Murphey was a popular fellow, getting a visit from both courier Mira (Meg) and collection agent Marshal (Jovian) for business. When Clyde's mental probing suggests that the murderer's real target is the Veil itself, the two bystanders agree to travel with the two doctors to the Intergalactic Embassy. What appears to be a simple monorail ride, however, quickly turns into something far more dangerous, as the Veil itself is pushed to its limits and Mira is confronted by some familiar foes…

As Amy's miniature rescue mission goes south, Doc and Crux are left cornered and scared. There's still lots of ground to cover between their position and the safety of the ship. Kellen and Korv are still on their way to meet back up, and Doc starts advocating for violence. With everything going so poorly, can Crux still keep their personal connection to the Delta Star a secret?

The crew of the Edge 7 begins their next job, an extraction mission for a black market intelligence operative. Things get off to a rocky start almost immediately, however, and the crew is left scrambling for a solution in the shipping satellite of the Delta Star cult. When people start getting captured, Crux exploits some construction knowledge to execute rescues. But how long can they keep secret that their knowledge comes from an understanding much deeper than they care to admit?

Amy exerts some effort to go to Korvavev, and the two idly chat away. Crux has the results of their Strigan parasite screenings and goes to deliver them to the anxious Doctor Tetsuo. As the crew gets a lead on a new job, Kellen goes to prepare the traditional "big job" dinner, but even callous assassin and new crew member Kuroneko can tell something is weighing on the cat burglar's mind...

Following a successful job and a victory at the races, the crew finds themselves with a little free time before the next job comes in. Doc cloisters himself in his room, unable to trust that the rest of the crew are not replaced with alien zombies. While Crux enacts a plan to regain Doc's trust, the Doctor gets to work healing the one crew member he can trust: Amy. Meanwhile, Kellen is hot on the trail of finding out who tried to get him killed in prison, and Korvavev talks to Sai about strange data and possible jobs...
