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...

Just a brief update from The Redacted Reports team about what's currently in the works.

On March 19th, 2025, the members of R Cell and their shadowy Handler beamed in remotely from their respective undisclosed locations to discuss the events and aftermath of Season 8, known as Operation Blue Blood. Guided by Agent Harker (Alandra Hileman) and with a strong assist from Agent Herald, they delved into their character arcs as agents, the challenges of splitting the party, and even did their colors. Come and join the conversation.

It’s important not to get lost in the work, so between missions the agents make sure to forge new connections, hone new skills and…visit St. Joseph’s?

Closing another case doesn’t guarantee closure for the team. Choices made, or avoided, can hang heavy over the agents, so the work they do after the reports are filed is sometimes just as important.

The immediate threat has been contained, but that doesn’t mean the mission is over. Someone else has been operating behind the scenes, and if there’s one thing R Cell isn’t good at, it’s letting things go.
