March 2020 – Burning Edge

Episode 1.08: Of course he’s human, Micah talked to him

After meeting their fixer to get a job and having a cold and uncomfortable night’s sleep, the team headed to a local diner to discuss their situation. Over one of the last nice meals they can afford without getting some sort of income, the team realized they’ll need to procure the bare necessities now that they’re no longer corporate employees: four walls, a roof, and a car. We now join Micah and Catherine as they head back to the pleasant gentleman that Micah cozied up to the previous night.

Episode 1.07: You just want to cuddle

It’s the morning of January 8th, 2080. Down on their luck, broke, homeless, and without proper identification, the team made it to a fixer named Slide to ask the self-styled king for his help with procuring new SINs. He agreed to build decent identities for the two less traditional metahumans in the group in exchange for retrieving a case from a truck scheduled to make its deliveries on Friday. They’ve got a bit of time to kill before the truck job to try to figure out their next moves, and have headed back to the broken down condemned building Deuce calls home.

Interviewed on The Geek Swarm

The Geek Swarm just published an interview they did with us a few weeks ago. I’m not sure Bernie was ready for our particular style of bumper car interview, but I think it went pretty well. We delve into how our podcast came to be, along with some character backstory.

Check out their podcast, it’s available pretty much anywhere you can find podcasts.

Episode 1.06: You only won because you cheated

Through one of their contacts, the team found someone that might be able to help them burn their SINs, replacing them with some serviceable fakes. What should have been a quiet drive through the deserted midnight streets of St. Louis became a black hole sucking down the teams’ edge as Jean-Baptiste took umbrage at Deuce’s driving. Friendly local law enforcement tried unsuccessfully to keep the peace, and through very little fault of their own, we join the team just pulling up at the designated corner.

Episode 1.05: Spank this motorcycle riding fool

Micah managed to get a bit of information from her infobroker contact and enjoyed some tasty Soy Bucks coffee. Through no fault of her own, she managed to not get seen by EVO security. Back with the rest of the team, they planned their next moves and had an unplanned and sudden funeral for a commlink and stole a car. We rejoin the team now as they try to figure out what to do about all of their other commlinks, before hopefully meeting up with a fixer to do something about their pesky SINs.

Episode 1.04: She can take it off, she has thumbs

The team met the delightfully sane and completely grounded Dr. Switchblade and slightly improved the long-term life prospects for Cat. The doctor provided a carefully laid out rehab regimen, mostly involving whiskey. While the rest of the team spent a few hours in a reputable medical establishment, Micah tries to get some information from her contact, Mr. Lourdes.
