Episode 10: Boston

Episode 10. Adam has finally agreed to help Jerome Eckerberg use magic to pursue new technological breakthroughs in the world of energy. But as he arrives at Athena Energy’s new flagship facilities in Boston, he discovers that what they’ve been building is much bigger - and potentially much more dangerous - than anything he was imagining. Can Eckerberg actually accomplish what he’s planning to do without putting millions at risk? Be advised: this episode contains strong language, discussions of politics, and sequences of peril and danger, all centered around a large energy reactor. It also mentions, but does not depict, drinking, various historical nuclear disasters, a large-scale disaster, and death. Viewer discretion is advised. The Harbingers was created by Gabriel Urbina. Today's episode was written by Gabriel Urbina. It was directed & sound designed by Jeffrey Nils Gardner. It featured the voices of Andrés Enriquez as Adam Blackwell, Lauren Grace Thompson as Amy Stirling, Emmy Bean as Claudia Skinner, Dan Granata as Jerome Eckerberg, Sunnie Eraso as Melissa Erickson, Ian Geers as Kris Middendorf, and Leah Khambata as Rekha Kothari. It also featured the voices of D Casellian, and Eduardo De los Reyes. Our original music was composed by Nicholas Podany. Our original show art was created by Cassie J. Allen.
