The community outside Hourglass has been welcoming to the team...maybe too welcoming. Strange children, strange voices, and strange handshakes all suggest that there may be something deeply sinister brewing beneath the pleasant surface of this traditionalist mountain community. Can old friends and esoteric knowledge lead R Cell to some answers before they're in too deep?

A train ride through the mountains should have been simple after the "minor excitement" of the night before, but the team is more on edge than ever. Multiple agents suddenly had concerned calls from family, and after one too many strange sightings on the train, R Cell has to worry. Could the local cult-church-community actually be linked to a previous investigation? Or have so many past missions finally caught up that R Cell is just the convergence?

Fast action means fast results as R Cell quickly mobilizes to asses a possible threat to the teen streamer behind the viral video, but the team should know by now that no action goes unnoticed. It seems the threat might be both real and more dangerous that anticipated, and the unexpected appearance of someone from the team's past suggests something more sinister could be at work in Hourglass.

The split team has made some progress in getting a better picture of this strange local church community, even if cocktails and libraries were both involved. But just before they can start to really dig in to assess these findings, a worrying new video crosses their feeds that needs immediate action.

Hidden writing and disappearing books aren't a comforting start to the investigation, but at least the team has new leads to follow as they try to get back to the two most urgent questions: what happened to the woman in that viral video, and why do they need to get involved?

The agents arrive in Hourglass, brimming with even more strange new concerns after their road-trip research. With so many possible leads to investigate, and still very little direction from above on what they're looking for, it's time to start asking questions.

Snacks are packed, cell phones are charged, and it's time for a road trip! The agents are on their way to Oregon, hoping that some research along the way will simply lead them to misguided influencers before they have to deal with something more concerning.

Even as things change, they remain the same. While day jobs shift in complex new ways, a concerning viral video demands the same attention that R Cell has always been asked for, and the agents must answer the call to investigate.

At this point it's out, it's everywhere; people have copies, people have it downloaded...
