The scenery has returned to normal, but the heartbeat of the Playa still reverberates through the Agents' lives. For some perhaps that's to their benefit, but maybe there are some things that would have been better left behind...

Reflecting on the way things have gone…well, maybe that’s a poor choice of phrase. But now that the real world is crashing in on the temporary city, the Agents find themselves not far from where they started: with too many questions, and too few answers. The mission may be over, but that doesn’t mean the work is done.

It only takes an instant to go from underprepared to overwhelmed. The Agents have finally realized just how vast the problem is, a problem that will have consequences reaching far beyond the insularity of the Burn if they don’t immediately find a way to do…something. When every choice is a risk, how do you decide the least worst choice to make?

“Wandering around has given us a certain amount of progress…” Yet again split across the Playa, the Agents must be swift and decisive in their actions to try and prevent further disaster. Can deliberately baiting the predator turn the tables for the prey, or has the dust of the Playa obscured more than just their vision?

The Burn might be siiiiiick, but the Agents are more ill at ease about everything that’s been happening. Still, with an actual night of sleep and nothing stronger than a cup of coffee in their systems, perhaps they can finally try to piece together the scattered and shattered pieces of this puzzle and see the bigger pictures emerge.

Sometimes risk brings reward, but this risk might have gone a step too far. R Cell has uncovered vital new information, but protecting themselves from it may have cost one of their only strong leads. Danger seems to be mounting as more and more attention is turned to the team, but their clues are dwindling fast with every exit of another connection. Turns out even keeping the party together isn’t always enough to keep you safe…

Hey Superfans, it's finally time! Today is the first day of #AlexiaApril, so if you wanna be the first to know what siiiiiick offerings we'll be sharing all month long, tune in to today's episode... #GoldenButtons

Once a predator catches your trail, it can be nearly impossible to shake, and the more in the pack the more danger that stalks. Between the threads of Spider J’s web, the sights of the UFO drones, and the attention of whatever lurks behind the mirrors, the Agents no longer know if they are targets, or simply caught in the collateral wave. Can they race the clock to a real solution, or are they just prey on the run?

Many say the Burn is a place to open your mind; the trouble is they don’t always say what might enter if you do. The questions are piling up, but the Agents seem to have fewer answers now than when they arrived. As the clock continues ticking toward the deadline of a mission they’re still not sure they’re on, it might be time to risk opening up in a whole new way.

With enough pressure, sand becomes glass, and seems for some of our agents the situation is indeed becoming clearer. DJs and drugs run rampant, UFOs and unsettling new leads arise, and it’s time to pull the troops back together and trade new information quickly. After all, it doesn’t take much to turn glass into a mirror…
