For those who weren't able to join us live, we are delighted to bring you the audio version of the talkback held on April 27th in an undisclosed location in Northern California. We were joined by Alandra Hileman, aka Lady Bedivere, who served as our moderator for the talkback.

Against all odds, R Cell did it. They survived Olohega and stopped an ancient god from entering this world. Only the agents knows what happened out there, and how the thin string that holds reality aloft was nearly severed. But the hardest part may be returning to their normal lives. How do they go back to a life concerned with jobs, rent, families, and mental health when all of it was so close to being snuffed out? But that world still exists. At least for one more night.

The ritual has begun. Father is bringing the ancient god Baal into this world. Is R Cell capable of stopping the EOD before they bring this evil into our reality? Or will they (and the world) be forced to deal with the aftermath? It all comes down to this.

The island of Olohega is a brooding mass of darkness on the horizon. Somewhere in the deserted settlements and broken roads are the answers that R Cell seeks. But will they be in time to stop the horror that awaits? And are they willing to do what is necessary to stop it?

R Cell knows their objective. And while there’s no way to prepare for what they’ll find on the island, they’re as ready as they can be. The board is set, the pieces laid. All that's left is to cast the dice.
