Viral Ep. 6 - Crankhaus

Things just keep getting worse as the group continues exploring the old administrator’s building and discovers things that they absolutely didn’t want to see. An inter-group conflict erupts and someone walks away from it with a big, fat shiner! If that wasn’t bad enough, though, they end up going into that friggin’ hospital after all and that’s when it all goes downhill fast.

Viral Ep. 5 - Neither Kicking Nor Screaming

Now that a member of the Phantom Posse has shown up, things are very clearly getting out of hand, and some of the information that the team’s recovered points towards an even darker situation. They should just get out of there, right? That’s what smart people would’ve done, but no, instead, they decide to go poking around in the administrator’s home. Surely nothing bad can happen there!
