The Fool, Reversed
Welcome to your friendly neighborhood Stuffer Shack! These corner convenience stores found across Chicago metroplex and the rest of the UCAS. They operate 24-7, and sell food, clothing, and entertainment - all disposable. But this site holds more than just the latest flavors of Dragon Piss cola - a gang of ne’er-do-well’s seem to be occupying the store. And they appear to match the description of our next lead. Our gang will test their ability to plan an attack, but will it survive contact? Tune in to find out now!

The Magician
In the midst of blaring alarms and a ticking timer, our intrepid heroes face a daunting challenge – grab the crucial data and skedaddle before the heat arrives.

It’s a showdown where survival hinges on skill, wit, and a dash to the restroom for poor Lester. Can our heroes outwit their adversaries? Will bladder control triumph over bravado? And can someone please remind the team that they’re not in a sound effects competition? Tune in now for a thrilling and bladder-clenching episode!

The High Priestess
With Desmond safely secured in the back of the Goldleaf company car, our heroes reach out to their contacts and see who can provide some much needed emergency medical assistance. Though Desmond is (relatively) safe, the crew will need to gather whatever details they can and continue the search for a highly coveted briefcase full of BTLs. Can our team find the trail before it goes cold? Will Pancetta be able to infiltrate unseen? Can River Bear come up with a plan that doesn’t stink? Tune in to find out now!

The Empress

Now, lead will fly and rubber will burn as our heroes try to make it out in one piece! Will Pancetta get the quickdraw on the troll heavy? Can Lester get a leg up on his opponent? What sort of risks will Lockdown take with the team? Tune in to find out now!
