Episode Transcript (May Contain Spoilers):

MARIA: Hello. It’s Maria again, and I wanted to provide you, our incredible fans, with an update on our series. A lot of the questions we’ve received recently have not just been about Vigil, but the show itself, and we’re going to provide you with as much information as we can.

Due to the popularity of the show, we’ve now been extended to ten episodes. However, that’s nowhere near enough time to explore the complex person that Vigil was—not to mention his incredible legacy—so, I’m happy to announce that we will be bringing you a Season Two of Vigil after our initial ten episodes. We’ve recently received access to a lot of new information, and we’re working on setting up some high-profile interviews to bring you an exciting second season!

Until then, we still have four more episodes of Season One, and they will not disappoint. We’re gonna spend some time with two more of Vigil’s important, early cases. Starting next week, we’ll meet one of Vigil’s top rivals in the industry. You don’t want to miss it. So, make sure you’re subscribed to our feed so you’re the first to know when a new episode drops.

Finally, even though I wish I didn’t have to, I’m going to address the most recent incidents with the individual known as “Morse.” You may have seen on social media that both the Hero Trackers and Vigil accounts have been hacked by an individual claiming to be Morse. Additionally, both Hero Trackers Studios and my home were delivered cryptic, threatening messages from this Morse. While it is not yet clear if this is an elaborate troll or the actions of emboldened internet bullies, our response is to unequivocally condemn this behavior and let you know that we will not be intimidated. Civil and heroic authorities are investigating, and you will be caught and held accountable for your actions.

Thank you to everyone who expressed concern. I’ve been covering the hero industry for years and this is far from the scariest situation I’ve faced. I ask that we move on from this incident and focus on the purpose of this series, which is learning more about Vigil, a HeroTrac podcast.

Episode Transcript (May Contain Spoilers):

VOICE OVER: This episode contains strong language and themes that may not be suitable for all audiences. Please check the show notes for details about the specific content and a full transcription of the episode.

MARIA: Hi. It’s Maria from Hero Trackers. But I can probably just start saying it’s Maria from Vigil. When we started making this show, we weren’t sure anyone was even going to listen. In fact, we were convinced no one was going to care about an unknown support hero. Yet, here we are with what feels like the whole world listening!

We’ve got a brand-new adventure lined up for you next week as Vigil teams up with an old friend, but for today, I’m going to try to respond to some fan questions. We have gotten so many that we’re having trouble keeping up, but we’re trying to answer the most pressing questions.

This question comes from @Falastan on Twitter: “How did Vigil get access to Vila’s financial records? Do they have access to mine? Is someone looking into that?” Great question. Unfortunately, the answer is: we’re not sure! What we do know is he had access through another hero. His recordings and notes don’t give us an identity, but it seems like we might all be under watch. Not the most reassuring answer, Falastan, but it’s the only one we’ve got.

The next one is from a large number of emails and tweets that had more or less the same question. To summarize: “Did Vila ever forgive Vigil?” And I would tell you the answer, but that would be spoiling it. Vila’s role in Vigil’s story is not over, so it’s not yet time to reveal what role she’s going to be playing in the future. But if you’re still curious, now would be a great time to hit that follow or subscribe button.

The last one we’re going to try to answer, for now, is from an email from Jen. Jen asks “Did Vigil have any sort of logo and imagery like the heroes we see all the time?” Another excellent question, and this one has a very simple answer: Yes! The artwork for the show incorporates his seal that he used to identify himself in the field. We aren’t going to infringe on his rights and publish it, but we did get permission to use it in our artwork, and we’ll talk to the estate about releasing some images of the seal…and maybe even some merchandise. So, stay tuned for updates.

Finally, as I said in my previous update, we are not going to be intimidated. While I don’t know who “Morse” is, and I don’t know how they got my private email address, it doesn’t matter. Your cryptic ramblings are not going to deter us from our goal. Which is to make sure the world knows the story of Vigil. And…we’ll be back with that story next week right here. I’m Maria Kennedy. Thanks for listening!

[Brass fanfare.]
