What's In the Rift

What's in The Rift is a Cortex Prime Actual Play.

Season 2 follows three hapless robots (ChroniCarl, PsychoBot 2000, and Helpis) plus their one human companion (Donny Fink) as they are thrust unwillingly into a murder mystery that may have far-reaching political ramifications. Of course, they can't be bothered with that unless dragged kicking and screaming by their GM back into the story.

Episode 14 - Curing Cancer

Through the course of obtaining batteries, ChroniCarl and PB discover there may be much more sinister things happening on board the Endeavor than just a mysterious robot murderer. A new friend exhibits some odd behavior before Helpis and Donny rejoin the group. A sudden arrival portends disaster, and its only through the intervention of the least likely savior on board the ship that the party manages to make it out with their metallic and non-metallic hides intact.

Episode 13 - Rescuing a Pet

A terrible tragedy is immediately capitalized for political gain by ChroniCarl, but Marty II interrupts with an urgent request about his property. As his two robot friends deal with battery troubles, Helpis willingly cedes control of his body to one of his papas who immediately uses it to put Donny into a very compromising position. It's a real possibility not everyone survives this episode.

Episode 12 - Considerably Worse News Than I Thought

The gang takes a moment to figure out their next steps, only to find themselves embroiled in a rapidly developing strike at the Zaptron Automat. They've called in scabs, but instead of autoworkers, humans arrive instead. Something seems mightily off about this. By the end of the episode, someone near and dear to our listeners will have died. But, it's probably for the best. Cheers!

A threatening discussion with Marty II shows the depths of the hole the robots and pal have dug themselves into. PB gets a circuit clipped, and a weird discovery ensues. Also, Jenkins!

Episode 9 - Not That Kind of Robot

PB makes a bold decision that leaves the party in a certain kind of way. ChroniCarl, who has made himself at home in the middle of an active crime scene, suffers the brunt of this poor decision, but Helpis makes a valiant effort to save who can be saved. Donny does their level best to smooth things over before things get really, really weird.

Episode 8 - The Scene of the Crime

Our four courageous heroes return to the scene of a crime. Again. This is literally the same opening from episode 6. They can't help themselves, apparently. A process server has threatened the crew with the expenses of all the destroyed GearX robots as a result of their brush with celebrity. But no worries, as Seuss lets everyone know how they can "leverage" Helpis's body parts for liquidity. The newfound wealth that Helpis possesses turns out to be useless without ClankedIn, and thus they go about trying to rectify this situation. Then, the economy collapses, Two Arms Toneigh becomes a distant threat for ChroniCarl and PB walks disinterestedly through a massive street brawl that her friends are all actively engaged in.

Episode 7 - I'm Very Good At My Job

In the middle of a very boring conversation about capital finance, an investigator shows up to serve Helpis with a summons for the damage caused to the robots crushed by the SPU. Everyone has a showdown on who is the most competent in their respective fields, and it ends with Helpis selling his body to the bank. Of course, Helpis isn't Helpis in the eyes of the corporate state, so they embark on a new mission to get access to his newfound liquidity via a new ClankedIn chip.
