Welcome back to The Big Red Button — where the wasteland doesn’t wait for you to be ready.
In this episode, the Stragglers pick up in the aftermath of chaos as the group regroups near the wreckage of the vertibird and realizes the danger is far from over. With injuries mounting, nerves fraying, and an overwhelming number of cannibal cultists emerging from the darkness, the crew is forced to make impossible decisions under pressure — and to place their trust in unlikely hands.
Episode Highlights:
The Calm Is Gone: After fending off an initial threat, the group realizes they’ve drawn the attention of something much larger — “20, 30, 40 cultists pouring out” from beyond the walls of Mitten Point.
Desperate Planning: With the vertibird grounded and the enemy closing in, the team scrambles for cover, supplies, and any advantage they can find.
A Dangerous Weapon: Attention turns to a damaged mini nuke launcher — powerful, unstable, and possibly their only chance to survive what’s coming.
Unlikely Faith: As fear peaks and options run out, one member steps forward with a plan so bold it borders on madness.
Notable Quotes:
“Just eat me. I’m already cooked.”
“I want to press the big red button.”
“This is only way. I save little Peanut.”
“Please just trust me.”
