agfncjigwcebcnivsbdbnfichhcj thank you so much!

we've come a long way in the months we've been doing this, part of why I feel kinda weird about going on hiatus for the holidays. this system has truly been a blessing, helping me get back into running ttrpgs, giving myself more of a reason to get properly into voice acting/voice training, and a lot more that I won't mention for obvious reasons since ley's be honest here, these recaps typically hit four thousand characters on the low end, no reason to over-do things, I guess we'll call this the end of "season 1"? idk, we've been using the "episode" terminology for so long now. hey, at least we got past our third run! without further adue, 

SESSION 15!!! the last of this year.

our party started with Eve Blair-witching in a corner because her player was late this week, Fox waking up from a concussion nap, and Bird, still Processing 14.10. yes they were in the sleeping ward. So later they move on to “we need the fucking 10mm wrench socket” leading to Bird and fox searching the entire upper medical wing, going to the one room they had completely ignored up until this point. The exam room, and with that a working computer! A WORKING computer!! Hey remember those unprofessional dms the party found? From a few sessions ago?? Yeah there was more. They get to read the other side of them. Funnily enough this was right as Eve joined the session! So she just got warped over. Am I going to clue my players into the ramifications of that? In the new year, probably. Didn’t get the time to this session though. Before suddenly blinking them into a normal(?) house. Also fox had to leave so their character is just… in the void. Here’s when we get to “Lilith but child and human” which was a very confusing for the players as you can expect, especially since it reinforced that she’s been like that the whole time. From here uh… look I’m just going to skip to the important bits. The sparknotes, if you will. Full circle I guess.

-met Lilith’s dad, he wasn’t happy this time

-the building explodes(?)

-replikas, as it turns out, aren’t typically designed for swimming.

-“what now?” Idk maybe ask that rapidly approaching Imperial submarine(affectionately referred to as “the sea humvee” because it’s essentially the same concept of vehicle, simply applied to a submersible vehicle.)

-these guys have questions- NEVER MIND THEY’RE JUST DEAD NOW. I GUESS. 

-ALSO WHO PUT US ON EUROPA’S SURFACE?????

-if you listen really closely, you can hear the plot derailing.

My sincerest apologies for how late this update was, my schedule recently has been utter bullshit, especially with the holidays and all. This year has been very… interesting. Yeah, we’ll go with that.

Happy holidays to all of you, go hang out with your loved ones btw, things have been inconvenient for me lately, hopefully you’re having a more convenient time.

Möge das wachsame Auge der großen Revolutionäre euch Sicherheit bringen.

Session: NULL.

Hi fellow overseers, I have some kinda bad news.

Nobody was able to get into “the groove” this week. Everyone was just feeling a bit fucked, whether it was due to exam season (god speed Fox) or Eve’s meds wearing off. Oh yeah, Eve couldn’t make it, sorgy.

At the very least our last session of the year is projected to have a full house so expect some weird shit next week, up to and including: a very familiar child showing up. (It’s Lilith.)

Möge das wachsame Auge der großen Revolutionäre euch Sicherheit bringen.
願皇后的祝福伴你一路前行

Hello esteemed friends, one former player, and fellow overseers, welcome to momentous occasion I suppose, the first back-to-back side story, the first out of(their regular)body experience these replikas have experienced, an appearance of the great revolutionary’s daughter, and the party’s first foray into the depths of nowhere itself.

Welcome, dear readers, to

EPISODE 14.10 “but you persisted”

(Written in my phone this time because haha funny I BROKE THE FUCKING “W” ON MY KEYBOARD.)

Our episode started with Bird and Eve in the sleeping ward, with Fox taped to the ceiling and Lilith still very dead, Bird and Eve then spent nearly the first hour of the session trying to get Fox off the ceiling. I’m not joking by the way, they kept making silly plans on how to get him down, and I couldn’t stop laughing. All the jokes being brought to a stop as they went to use the tape. As in video cassette fyi. At first seeing nothing. Then they end up in… a greenhouse. A VERY overgrown greenhouse but a greenhouse nonetheless. And standing in the centre of the room, staring at a large tree, was… Her. The daughter of the great revolutionary’s daughter. Seemingly caught in a moment of reflection, meanwhile, our resident disaster lesbians I mean, pragmatic duo were… ok well Eve was scared seeing the daughter of the revolutionary just… there. Bird somehow didn’t know who she was. Funny. To me I mean, anyway, the corpse of Lilith was sticking out of a tree which was what mostly had our skeleton-crew’s attention. Especially when it fucking winked at Eve. I then threw a radio at Eve, allowing the characters to directly hear the whole call, a notable departure from just being able to hear their respective players. (Eve likes Nick’s player more than her own lolololol) This was very disorienting for the characters, as you can imagine. It would be worse for the characters if I thrust heavy lore implications upon them, wouldn’t you agree? Replacing the great revolutionary’s daughter with the very dead sister of the Gestalt she was based on would lead to many potentially concerning narrative implications, no? (I must never let Eve’s player find out I did that specifically to mess with her she’d actually kill me)(/j) eventually, some people joined Eve’s “sister”.

First, the soldier, the one that had shot two of our party members in previous mind-fuck segments. Next was a doctor, an older man with a strangely unrecognisable face, although what was clear to see was that they were pleased to see our skeleton crew. Finally was a pilot, standing furthest away from our pov crew, and after. The four figures slowly turned to look at our two players. The first stared in hate. The second in apathy, the third looked happy to see them, the last was… confused, what else is new. I suppose that is one trait I can’t counteract by putting them through different loops. Also, Bird has hit a milestone! “First player to reach 1 persona and start hallucinating.” Which is quite the milestone for us to reach! Something tells me it’s one of those “Christmas miracles”.

Anyway, while Eve is remembering a part of the life of who she was built off, suddenly, the world around them goes dark. But only for a moment. Before the world lights up, and they lay witness to the vistas of hell nowhere. Here’s an exert from a message I sent Fox since they were sick and had projects to worry about so couldn’t show up.

“An endless desert of blood soaked sands, where no sound will reach you, with vast black black stone pillars darker than the vastness of space, a singular eye gazes down upon the red expanse, unblinking.”

(Also, apparently this was a highlight in my environmental descriptions according to Nick, the closest in the party to being another signalis fan. Needless to say I am still happy about that, my DMing skills have gotten very rusty so Crossfade has been a welcome challenge.)

Before getting dragged through reality and ending up….. in human bodies. Eve in… well take a guess. The body of the human she was based off, yeah. Bird was put into the body of another person in the hospital. 

Now, let’s put ourselves in Eve’s shoes here, from her perspective, can you imagine how disorienting this would be, getting out in a new body, one that both is and isn’t your own, seeing people you recognise as your parents before they look at you and begin screaming things at you that I don’t even feel comfortable repeating here(or in the session, I let the players fill in the blank there.) before noticing a camera and switching on a dime to faux concern, and then cursing her out under her breath as they leave. Immediately after, they find a steamer-trunk in the hospital room providing a set of clothes for the two since the they’re just in hospital gowns, switching out for a nurse uniform(Eve) and the nation’s equivalent of like, those mock-uniforms they make JROTC kids wear sometimes? Idk I can’t think of a suitably European equivalent(Bird). And they start walking around, posing as, I shit you not, a kid that got lost on a field trip and a nurse helping them find their class group. Would you believe me if less than five minutes later they:

1. Broke into the security armoury in this hospital 
2. found a disposable rocket launcher (before you ask, the reason this hospital armoury had a store of expendable anti-tank weapons, it’s because I thought it would be funny since they wanted to kill “Eve’s” parents and I thought it would be the funniest option)
3. They steal it, as well as the comparatively innocuous swat gear. I say “innocuous” because at  this point the hell am I going to do.
4. Go to the hospital roof
5. Bird fires the rpg into “Eve’s” parents, their bodyguards and a state news crew. (7 dead, 36 injured.

Before then RUNNING TO THE NEAREST TOWN, disguising themselves among the populace a task that was easier for Bird  because all they needed to do was put on a backpack, I could not make this up if I tried, but funnily enough, this is around where we ended, dragging our players back to the sleeping ward where they started, with fox still laying face down the floor- WHO TAPED HIM TO THE FLOOR WHILE WE WERE GONE!?

Möge das wachsame Auge der großen Revolutionäre euch Sicherheit bringen.
願皇后的祝福伴你一路前行

PS.
Right so, this summary took too long on my end, my bad, had a lot to do over the weekend and early week. Happy holidays by the way! Just to let anyone reading know, there’s a decent chance that the next two sessions will be our last FOR THE YEAR. Everyone’s been very busy so it made sense to cut this month’s broadcast schedule in half. If I disappear for two weeks this month, you can look to this note for the reason, I’ve had a lot of fun using this system as my gateway back into DMing, and over my months of using this system I can confidently recommend this to anyone interested in both ttrpgs and signalis, even if the sessions I run typically have a tone that shifts between “undertale”and “the king in yellow”. 

1000/10, thanks for making this system and thank anyone that chose to read this entire post too I suppose!

good afternoon my fellow overseers, I have returned with this week's update on the crossfade party of all time, hold onto your hats this time because this was a full four hours this time!

EPISODE 14.5 "how was this airbase ever operational"

The session starts much like many other .5s, with Eve blair-witching in a corner of the sleeping ward, Fox and bird start looking around, finding a strange Video-cassette, and this was about when I had realised that a different overseer had messed with my script, but regardless the players go back up to the icu to watch the tape, after putting it in, they see a spooky guy in dark armour walking by the camera, before walking through the camera and teleporting the two from 

clown-shoes hell dimension [sierpenski]
to
clown-shoes hell dimension [farcical version of the airfield that Bird and Fox used to be stationed at before all this.]

they show up in the airfield they were previously. oh and someone died btw.

here's our murder mystery for the evening:

late last night one of the maintenance crew that was fixing the landing gear on a small fighter aircraft literally just BLEW UP. security is on the scene and command suspects foul play.
here's the suspects we have.
- Taitor-face mc'annoying-fuck, a person who used to live in the nation, who just *looks* intensely suspicious, who was supposedly working in  the same hanger at the time of the "accident"
- The maintenance crew chief, an A.R.A.R unit, who was apparently sleeping at the time of the incident
- A E.U.L.R who was apparently working on the cockpit of the aircraft the victim was, who was later revealed to be on the demolition team[which, side note, yes Phobos I am making this personal, why on earth would an airbase have a dedicated Demolitions team anyway????????]
- a pilot from not only the wrong timeline, but also the wrong year, universe, AND airbase, but got here at the worst possible time, freaked out, grabbed a random item to try blending in[a torque wrench? really??]
and
- a S.T.A.R unit that was apparently awol around the time of the accident, and is covered in blood[most of which isn't hers] but she also isn't particularly in the state to answer for... reasons

[spoiler, it was Evil Mc'asshole face and the A.R.A.R because they literally just didn't like him]

first one they interrogate was the pilot, since he very much so doesn't belong. like, at all. especially since he was American, upon which they realise he's from the wrong universe, thus clearing him of suspicion.

next was the Eule, who was actively balling her eyes out, she was apparently ordered to "help with repairing the aircraft". despite not being trained in advanced maintenance. let lone being on the maintenance team to begin with. also she was ordered to do that by an air marshal. why? no idea, once again, this script wasn't mine, Phobos wrote it. And I'm going to beat his ass because of it.[platonically of course, don't worry.] the Eule's testimony is relatively simple, she was trying to fix the tension on the flightstick she heard a thud that "sounded like boots hitting metal" before the guy y'know.

third one up was the maintenance crew chief, who mostly just corroborates everyone else's stories so far, she was asleep when the accident happened, when she got there she found the pilot out of time and the Starling, with the other two showing up later.

the starling was next.... yeah, one hell of a time to have a bad trip, her intel was mostly useless since she's in the midst of severe persona destabilisation.

finally was evil-doer Mc'definitely-did-it, who, was confusingly calm and more importantly, was just.... VERY AWKWARD TO QUESTION, somehow out-freaking Fox AND bird. [side note, since Bird is, y'know, a K.L.B.R unit, they wanted to read the minds of the suspects, so I was literally just sending bird memes that were vaguely applicable to the characters being interogated]

which reminds me, during this elongated investigation, Fox and bird get dragged into dealing with a hostage best described with this video.

it was quite... interesting to say the least, all this culminating in... the suspicious guy accidentally confessing his and the crew chief's involvement in that one guy's death, the air marshal becoming vapor, and the dynamic duo getting zapped back to the clown-shoes hell dimension because I found the remote and let's be real this shit was derailing harder than.... ok I don't know about any train disasters tbh

all-in-all, this session was great, even if Phobos switched my scripts around, tune in next week when I [maybe] make Eve experience Lilith's life as a human to get the gold key! goodbye!

Möge das wachsame Auge der großen Revolutionäre euch Sicherheit bringen.
願皇后的祝福伴你一路前行

ps. the "script" thing was a bit, just in case it wasn't clear that this is a solo run with the story [although to be honest, trying to run a ttrpg campaign with TWO D.Ms does seem interesting, if gimmicky]

Hello my fellow overseers, this week's session is... even shorter than the last one, actually, as, funnily enough, all of us had work the next day. Anyway, I'll see where I can stretch the intel here so you have a decent reading experience.

SESSION 14

the party awoke in the office on the flooded section of the old hospital room, deciding to first go into the pipe room[which I was calling the "pump room", finding a ladder as well as pipes that, when messed with, are strangely musical, which fox immediately uses to just play a jaunty little tune, the ladder itself is "upsettingly warm", which weirds out Bird but they go up anyway, and unlock the door, giving themselves a direct way back up to the hospital wing's main floor, before they go right back down to go into the store room. the smell of rusted steel is the first thing they notice, the second thing being the blank key-card they needed for that puzzle upstairs, meaning they've officially found three out of the five needed, [cue mild argument because nobody except me knows how a gun works so the players, FOR THIS ENTIRE TIME thought they were walking around with extended magazines or some shit, and they seemingly never asked about that. that's on me.] (also while I was taking a call Fox started doing funeral proceedings for me because I was taking too long. Comedy gold), Eve got the blank keycard we needed and then they went back to the office because I lost track of where the exam room key was supposed to be in my notes, they then went over to the sleeping ward to obtain the video cassette tape they needed to get the gold key, but before they could get to that, they needed to get to the first bit of actually challenging combat in a fucking WHILE as they are beset upon by CORRUPTED FOUR A.R.A.RS, one of them even manages to bonk Eve upside the head, although all things considered though it wasn't a long fight, totalling to about 7 rounds if memory serves correctly, but it was more tense than usual, probably because literally all of us were cutting it close showing up for this week's session anyway, but overall it was enjoyable as ever, and far sillier seeing as Fox and Bird were the ones pushing the story foreward, also I got to explain what a "stovepipe" malfunction is to the gang, which is always fun, even if during this session I had multiple disturbances on my end that required me to check around for what was causing the problems each time.

see you all next week!

Möge das wachsame Auge der großen Revolutionäre euch Sicherheit bringen.
願皇后的祝福伴你一路前行

Good afternoon fellow overseers, it's good to see you all again, I will admit that I have been consistently getting later with these as of late. My apologies, I've been trying to get on top of that, regardless, let's get to the recap of last week's  session

SESSION 13

[fyi this was a shorter session than usual]

The party started in the ICU that they ended the last session in, with Fox no longer floating in mid air, and now that things are back to usual, the two imperials start fucking with the tv that's the only source of light in this room while Eve looked through the cabinets in the room, finding that the tools in the previously mentioned cabinets progressively get older as she looks through the cabinets, going from standard stainless steel surgical tools and eventually to a chunk of flint on a stick. After that, they decide to start fucking with the portable Cathode Ray Tube TeleVision[complete with a built-in Video Cassette Recorder] since the droning from it was getting annoying[to me, the overseer, not the players] and they crank the volume to zero, before finding a note. It's one of Alina Seo's diary entries to be specific, which definitely casts some shade on that L.S.T.R unit from earlier, as well as finding some patient records. Moving on to the other Intensive Care Unit, they found a E.U.L.R in an oxygen hood and surprisingly enough, they didn't even kill it. Yeah I'm as surprised as y'all are. While in there, Eve looked around at some surgical equipment in the room, finding that it too was older the more she looked but in a far more literal way, where some of the tools were pristine and others were rusting away into literal dust. Next up was going back to the bathroom for the pump room key, with Eve also finding that her reflection has been replaced by the Gestalt she was built off, only she can't make out the face. A gestalt that is being hugged by Lilith['s ghost] to clarify because something something "doomed yuri quota" next we move to the pump room, where this time, I actually learned, I planned ahead with the puzzle, and it was almost balanced! Except not really because puzzles aren't really my forte either, either way, they got through, and made it to the flooded area, picking up the water key while they were here. they went into the next Corridor, Fox kills a S.T.A.R unit, the party goes into the office, saves, and that was were they ended it off for the evening

see you all next week, stay safe and all

Ruhm der Eusanischen Nation!
願女皇永遠帶領我們走向榮耀

hello fellow overseers, this week's session is different than usual, although in a way it's more of the same, welcome to:

12.4 [a whole lot more questions] 

this one was a bit less organised than the usual goes in the cycle, and it ended up becoming a .4 since Fox had to dip out very early due to personal matters

the party started in the HDU, moving over to ICU1 before Fox starts fucking floating and the remaining two are brought to a different facility entirely, more specifically, an orbital facility over Leng.

it's at this point I remembered something, all three of us left have VRchat installed, and this area is based off a world me and some friends found a while ago, so, to help with visuals, a little bit, we booted it up and started going around, with Eve and Bird having a conversation with a very tired Storch unit that is overworked and completely unpaid since this facility is, by all means, lost. with the team resolving to look around the section without gravity, finding a camera in a dark room as well as several notes about replika units, before having a very brief run in with myself[the overseer], before going into the hydroponics room, while Bird was taking pictures of random shit, they actually managed to (canonically) get a picture of the overseer! also they meet a "friendly" ARAR unit, who tells them about a cargo shuttle that, if repaired, could bring the remaining staff of the station, and that the code to the cargo hanger should be in the break-room. however, while over there they have a unpleasant conversation with a National Kolibri unit, who rightfully calls into question why they're so similar despite being created on opposite sides of the war, although these questions are quickly brushed to the side as the two go looking for a space suit. to go into the depressurized section of the station, remember?

this is where shit got real funky fyi. and luckily, since I was recording this session, I have a transcript to share! [disgusting throat clearing sounds accompanied by the sounds of someone shuffling a comical of papers]

"As you exit through the massive airlock into what's meant to be the loading bay of the installation itself, the first thing you notice is an oppressive cold feeling, probably from the outside space. The suit's doing its best to protect you from the lack of air, but being here is very noticeably, well, who should I put this... extremely unnerving. Which probably isn't helped by being faintly able to see a weird ghost-like mass of wires with a TV on top of it following you around, there are a few doors, and a seemingly clean area that might have some controls, however, everything else is relatively just dead, honestly. Trash strewn about, as if the people who were in this area left in a hurry, some of them even leaving their lighters next to an ashtray, lighters that have since ran out of fuel after being left alone for so long, there's only one door, it goes right into the hangar bay, out here is more of the same, except it's eerily empty. It's almost as if that ARAR that asked you to come back and get them once you've found the code to the room was making it up, but something in the back of your mind feels less like you weren't lied to, more like you had missed it. As everything would seem to imply that after that brief and tense conversation with the Kolibri, it's almost as if the moments after you had that conversation were actually several days or perhaps even months, the facility is notably even more corroded and deteriorated by the now and even the name being shown above the zone you were in has changed. You didn't know the name of the facility you were just in, granted, but you know damn well that it wasn't called the fucking [REDACTED]"

(apologies for grammar and the swear at the end.)

leading to the players simply... walking around, after all, they were in the empty hanger bay of a space station, what else were they going to do really? [side note, the bridges on this map were a bit fucky] before they eventually had the bright idea, to exit through the airlocks. into the vacuum of space. intentionally. finding themselves violently ejected into deep space, next to a body that is very very dead. it was here, in the vastness of space that they got to see... мне. I could've been annoying and suddenly put some French in there, let me have this, and, while I had them there, I decided to let them ask some questions, what's the harm anyway, they won't [canonically] remember most of it. and wouldn't you know it, I have their questions noted here for our viewing convenience! wow, it's like the gimmick from a bit ago can have multiple purposes. this next section will be presented in a pseudo Q&A presentation, since it's more fun, and allows me the ability to simplify the answers down to short, simple, and concise answer. I'll still include the monologues though, ROFL

Q1; is it canon that there are multiple overseers? [Bird]

A; yes, I'm technically the second in this setting.

Actual exchange:

Bird's player: "Is it canon that there's multiple overseers and that it's the second one?"

Overseer[me], in character: "Yes, it is."

Bird, still ooc: "Ah, cool"

Overseer: [dramatically]"There have been many. Every time someone wants to run on their little stories and their little worlds, there's another."

Bird: "interesting" 

Overseer: Other kinds of mind parasites always try to do these elaborate schemes where they'll..."I'll spread through music!" "I'll spread through ideas!" "I'll spread through simple speech!" None of them have any way of topping the concept of spreading through storytelling. Another one is made simply by wanting to tell a story about anything, could be a random event in your life that you thought was mildly humorous, Could be anything. But you two, you wouldn't really know anything about that, would you? Purposed organisms, built to fulfil simple roles that could be done by a human at any point. And yet they seemed too bored to put in the effort. And so they created you. Something that knows NOTHING beyond their predetermined design. Truly one of the cruellest jokes I've seen throughout my existence. But I'm not complaining, honestly, it's almost impossible to try and find better test subjects than things like you.

Q2; what lies ahead? [Bird, again.]

A; a whole lot of bullshit honestly.

Actual exchange:

Bird: What is past all the meat?

Overseer: You have maybe an hour of oxygen left, And to start off, those BURNING questions you have, you ask that. I'm not sure whether to be surprised or not.

Bird: I gotta start somewhere, and the first thing I think of is just... What in the hell is that building!? Why is... What's past the meat? What else is waiting for... Wha-What the hell?

Overseer: What else is waiting for you? Well, the showrunners thought it would be a good idea to show you some new locations in the the final stretch.

I believe it was a small... They wanted to put you in some small town for a bit. Eh, that's far later though.

You're not that close to the point of getting there.

Q3; how many floors are there?

A; It's like that one defect you seem to put up with said, there's too many to count and they loop.

[that basicly was that exchange.]

Q4; What started all of this? [Bird]

A; ...... if you're this deep in a comment thread about a signalis ttrpg and haven't played the original game I am baffled to say the least.

[the actual exchange was a third person recount of the basics of signalis's story, more specifically the things that happened before the game, and the early game, all with a bit of abstraction to them]

Q5; did the facility mess with our memories? [bird]

A; no, that was me. [:

actual exchange

Bird: I mean, it's hard to figure out what does and doesn't, alright? Is this place also what wiped our memory?

Overseer: What do you mean?

Bird: From before we got here??

Overseer: What do you mean "wiped your memory"?

Bird: What do YOU mean?

Overseer: I'm asking, "what do you mean", Bird.

Bird: Well, clearly there's shit about our lives that we just don't remember, like the people from the ship earlier, apparently Eve worked with them, and it doesn't look like she remembered much. But maybe I'm wrong.

Overseer: [looking at Eve] Do you have anything to say to that?

Eve: I mean, I did remember working on the ship. I just did not realize that was the ship I worked on. I do, however, wonder about the other memories I have of the cold.

Overseer: Ah, that was me, yes. I thought it would be a bit more interesting on this loop to give you a bit more of a personal effect, let you remember bits and pieces of the humans that you were based off of. Let you think the memories were yours. I mean, in a way they are, aren't they?

Eve: I mean, maybe?????

Bird: I guess that does explain some things, yeah. At least a few of our dreams.

Q6; Will I ever see Lilith again?[Eve]

A; Perhaps. Perhaps not. Maybe there is a reality, far from this one where you two will still see each other. Perhaps that's between your creators, after all, did you think I was the one that made both of you? No, I simply torture you two. Well, you three, now. Creator of your little friend there. As much as I want to give some grandiose story about it, eh, no, it's simple, just personal matters, and if the person behind the character and the being can't, y’know, come into the office, metaphorically speaking, well, we just give it the 'ol snap from the setting and the reality they're in…. no hard feelings. It's not like she's truly dead, there's different versions of her. After all, the person she was based off of was from a different reality entirely. Well, I guess all of us. This is more accurate to say, but if I were any more pedantic, it would just be the creators, directly talking at you about grammar choices in games, my point is, you will see her again. Perhaps not in the same way you last did. Perhaps you won't even recognize that you've seen her again. I mean, you didn't realize this time. And that it was, what, your fifth loop? But, eh, well, I think I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. After all, you won't remember some of this either. It truly depends on- on what ends up being better for- for the story. But that's, well, half of our time, actually, we still have a bit left. Unless you two would like me to speed things up a bit. I'd send you back to your home reality, so that you can get right back to the messing with the little  VCRs or whatever it is you do for fun while I'm not looking.

they then suffocated in the vacuum of space and woke up in the ICU they started in, have a good evening!

Ruhm der Eusanischen Nation!
願女皇永遠帶領我們走向榮耀

hello, fellow overseers. I'm in an especially good mood this evening despite being slightly late on the updates, and to be honest, I'm liking the kinda ad-lib way of recounting these, so welcome to

SESSION 12! [the sessions don't get names tbh]

but first mild personal note, today was my birthday! I had a lot of fun all things considered. BACK TO THE MACHINES! [special thanks to Eve, for letting me cross-reference with her notes for accuracy]

the party starts this session in the same place they ended session eleven, in the imaging department, and after a brief discussion over me being a bit shit at describing the room, the players got to messing with the X-ray machine. this in and of itself lead to a further discussion about Replika anatomy spurred on by scanning the hand and skull. the hand was from a K.N.C.R, with a reinforced Knuckle plate and a hairline-fracture on the middle finger, the skull was just............. the generic base skull for most/all Replika units, with two key notes. 

1.  manufactured on Kitzeh
2. it's filled with liquid gallium, which Eve will find out in a minute after trying to break it open, getting frustrated, and throwing it against a wall very hard.

they scan a revolver next, which gets predictable results all things considered, it has a bit of personalisation near the barrel though, so that's interesting, anyway then they scan the rock with the key-card in it, which is great right? but unfortunately they didn't examine it before they decided to break open the X-ray machine via *anti-tank rifle* leading to that rock getting fucking annihilated. which sucks, for obvious progression related reasons. There was a reasonable panic here, since the card in the stone was billed as a item key to progression. there were some ideas thrown around, Eve suggested using the save computer [which could set the party back by........... ok well the last time they actually saved was back in session seven or eight methinks, point is that idea got thrown out, Bird suggested trying to use Bioressonance to repair it, they tried an failed twice before they eventually decide to just use Bioressonance to just make Eve remember the pattern since fucking with reality is what lead to all of this anyway.

Turns out, Fox has Scoliosis.

now listen, I have been overt with my references in the past, but never have I been direct enough to put a party in the middle of Blood-gulch before. I'll probably never do a bit this direct again tbh but hey, they'd make good members of blue team or whatever.

on to the High Dependency Unit for the first combat encounter of the session, and the first INJURY in a while too! From Eve no less, in this case, a large Laceration to the chest, starting at the shoulder, also a dodge attempt. which failed but still. now, the High Dependency Unit doesn't particularly have much to note, but the ammo was appreciated. now onto the nurse station! And the first non-corrupted Eule the party's met outside time-travel and Eve. her name was Mai, and to be frank she is an emotional wreck right now, granted, I imagine that watching your friends die over and over in a time loop while not being able to intervene, lest your consciousness is sent further back in time by a malevolent deity would break anyone. I would know. because I did it. To the few Replikas I left un-corrupted in this facility. I get the feeling I should quote that one philosopher my "brother" seems to be fond of, but nah, the joke is simply overdone, you can connect those dots yourselves. anyway, Eve resolves to get this Eule to a safer area, as in the Elevator Lobby. and it finally happened, THE CORRUPTED STAR THEY KILLED IN THE EAST CORRIDOR CAME BACK TO LIFE!!!!!!! and it had a new gun! and the fun part is now I get to test out Suppressive fire against players :]

Eve is just trying to hold out until the others get to her, and thanks to a series of "unlucky" rolls [lucky on my part but unfortunately I kept hitting which was bad, since Eve hit FIVE HEALTH.] thankfully, an anti tank rifle does wonders against a trigger happy zombie, and more importantly, now we can do some field-triage on Eve so she isn't, y'know,  dying. Before grouping the few NPCs together here or safe-keeping, and ending the session.

again, my apologies for the serious delay in updates, the last few days have been quite bust for me and updating this was left partly to the side

Ruhm der Eusanischen Nation!
願女皇永遠帶領我們走向榮耀

ok look, I've had to redo this bit of text five- sorry, ELEVEN times because the web-page keeps reloading for some reason, welcome to-

episode 11.5: "there's a fox in the garbage can again"

bird and fox are in the imaging room still, the improbability drive[you remember the gameshow, right?] starts going crazy, leading to fox and bird getting sent backwards in time. now the thing is, Adler units don't exist yet, right? so fox is the standing in for the human that will eventually be used as the base for all A.D.L.R units. they get lead down to the briefing room, Bird gets connected to a Kolibri hivemind for the first time in god knows how long and the reigning consensus is; "wow, what an asshole", anyway Fox is assigned under him, doing the paperwork he doesn't feel like bothering with so, to distract him and find out what's up with the commander since Bird at the very least is on to my bullshit, leading to an exchange that my own words couldn't hope to match the comedy of Bird's own wording, so here

"The Fox based 0.5[11.5] session starts with a kolibri network organising a meetup between Fox and some gay guy so Fox can seduce him while Bird keeps the network up to date like it's a romance novel, all just to distract the homophobic admin. It fucking worked. XD"
[note: sometimes your players are simply funnier than you an you just gotta be honest with yourself about that.]

and I must state, it worked. handily, the fucker went unmentioned until the end of the session after that. Now, being the genre savvy pair they are, they decided to go straight over to the commander's quarters. While looking around in her office, they find two Eules, as well as some meat-moss growing under the entirely-too-small desk, so naturally Fox just burns it with his lighter, the meat catching like flash-paper. Fox, Bird, and the two Eules stand around trying to deny it being weird at all because seriously, the fuck are they really going to do about this, this is far beyond anything they were designed for, if you found living meat stuck to the bottom of a desk like awful gum, would you know what to do there? anyway, in the study they find: ANOTHER GAS-MASK GUY!! seemingly a friendly variant of the other masked soldier guy [the one that keeps shooting the party and being ominous] and he actually makes some pleasant conversation before fucking exploding into more meat moss as the memory data corrupts, they meet the commander, a F.L.K.R unit. the empires best, a spitting image of the empress herself- provided she was extremely tired and irritable. making Bird take several points of temporary persona damage from the sheer mental energy radiating off the commander, also, unrelated, there's an A.R.A.R with a makeshift flamethrower burning the mass of flesh that used to be gas-mask guy. Look, I don't think I need to tell you that went awfully in the long run. Anyway the rest of the session went by quick, which is very convenient for me now because I'm very tired[as of writing this, it is 4:39AM] they arrive back at the office, get tasked to bring the suspiciously already open "known issues" document back down to the commander, finding the study fully on fire when they get there, and the commander just watching like "of course this happens the ONE TIME when I try to rest"

the old administrator gets gunned down in the office, turns out this session has taken place over a week chronologically speaking but was only a few hours for bird and Fox, they end up outside the airbase they used to be stationed at, then they end up in a pile back in the imaging room, and SCENE, the end

What did we learn this week? never expect serious character moments when your party consists only of its silliest people, all of which are in a giggly mood that day! seriously though it was great

See y'all next week!

glad to hear that! let us know how it goes if you can

Notes from session 11

• exploring the reception room leads to… fuck all really
• I was extremely overt about “bioressonance disease” really being “Über radiation poisoning”, didn’t work.
• oh god a lot of the People here had illnesses disease.
• at this point it’d be impossible to hide *the thing but luckily none of these people have played signalis so I’m in the clear
• they found grievance paperwork.
• they find a card printer
• turns out, the commander was the first to get infected, and it spread down through the command structure (except the administrator. HMMMMMMMMM)
• oh hey, Eddie and Defect are here now. Fucking SOMEHOW.
• the waiting room is quite peaceful. Gee, I wonder why this MEDICAL FLOOR has a WAITING ROOM.
• as a joke Eve splashes some water from the plants on the key card interface and it works for exactly ten seconds and then locks again. Funny attempt.
• Eve gets her first kill! On a corrupted Star no less! Great work.
• joke about “pipe room” and “pump room” sounding like the names of a strip club. Anyway, they’re locked.
• “this bathroom is fine- HOLY SHIT GALF TO FLOOR IS FUCKING GONE” also there’s another dead Arar with invasive plants (which is just a theme I guess. The plant this time is Kudzu fyi)
• ok north wing time
• let’s go to the morgue, it’s what Lilith would’ve wanted. No cannibalism though.
• first new enemy in a while!! The corrupted Arar!
• finding a note that tells us what we already knew, destroy the bodies.
• note to literally anyone who is looking to do puzzles in a campaign. FUCKING PLAY-TEST THEM. I forgot to with this one and as such, it was a mess trying to help these three to work the incinerator. The did get the fire key though!
• they found Easter-egg character “Mr bones” and immediately threw him in the incinerator.
• Lilith’s ghost makes its presence known to Eve only. She has a lot of ghosts around her, huh?
• the party ends the session in the imaging room.

*right so, as the observant of you may or may not have noticed by this point, the map of this campaign is a modified version of the maps from the original Signalis, with a healthy smattering of original locations through the doors of horror as well as the .5 episodes being entirely disconnected, point is, this was the session where this became the most obvious, and since it was clear this story has been quite derivative from the start, but since at the very least I know Bird’s player handler has seen one or more play-throughs of Signalis, I was genuinely kinda expecting him to point that out. For my sake, I’m bring this up here because I know that a certain incorporeal vulture sometimes reads these notes, so for my sake, don’t tell the others.

Either way, this session went incredibly well all things considered, everyone was tired as hell though except Bird’s Operator, who was as bright and confused as he always is

See you next week!
zum Ruhm unserer Nation!

Notes from session 10

• what’s the best place to have a shower? Next to a corpse, apparently.
• oh hey, the other half of the butterfly key. Surely nothing bad can come from this.
• oh heavens no, the conses of my quences. (Plate of eternity obtained. Surely this will be fine.)
• oh shit, someone dropped the metaphorical subtlety ball and Eve saw “her” dead “sister” (come to think of it, do we say “her sister” or not? There’s a lot of pedantic shit to consider)
• Bird gets a headache every time she looks at the plate. No it’s fine.
• Eve starts calling the watcher “all seeing eye” (I’m glad the previous references didn’t go unnoticed by a fellow archivist) (also standard dead sibling related plot points)
• oh hey it’s the Penrose replika storage room- WAIT.
• Defect(L.S.T.R-001 “defect”) is sick of my shit and talks about the whole time-loop shit, and also that she fucking hates back-tracking.
• what’s the obvious answer to “I opened a door and found a tv static dimension”? Easy, stick your hand in. Or your entire arm, if you’re fox.
• after Elster points out “hey, if we can access the contents of one storage box from any other storage box, can’t we travel using it?” And Lilith immediately jumps in and FUCKING EXPLODES. All that’s left for now is her ribbon. Eve is crying silently.
• she decides to read Nina’s journal, detailing the days of protest and demonstrations leading up to her eventual capture and imprisonment.
• they go to the mineshaft access- and it’s locked, fuck.
• The elevator lobby still has exactly one functioning elevator.
• the mineshaft access elevator is inoperable due to: meat moss overgrowth- IT HAS TENTACLES EW EW FOX BURN IT
• escaping the room full of smoke into where the cryo room was, instead, all they found was a tv playing… THE GAMESHOW! FROM THE FIRST .5 EPISODE!! So they watched it.
• went in the Protektor elevator, and went down a floor.
• first hallway down here and already under attack.
• oh hey a safe room! And a shotgun!!

End of session.

With lily gone we’re still nowhere close to fixing the predicament we’re in, but oh well, it’s cute watching these machines squirm~
-overseer

See y’all next week!

I realise now that I accidentally sent the notes twice, apologies 

Haha right so, I recognise that I’m late with the sparknotes for the last session, my sincerest apologies for the delay.

Notes from session 9 (with mild annotation, as an apology for the late broadcast)

- the party enters the meat room (don’t question it, it’s fine, every prison has one)

- Eve grabs a weirdly familiar hand, and nearly gets pulled into the meat-wall (siblings, am I right? And then she just stared at Eve like SHE was the crazy one)

- Lilith wakes up- taped to the ceiling of the solitary room. Fun. (Yeah, surprisingly Lilith was able to show up this session! Fun)

- the team goes into the registry because “fuck it, there’s gotta be intel in here, and most of it is boring paperwork. Eddie was transferred to this facility a few days ago. maybe.

- turns out, the sister of the human Eve was based on was held in this prison before everything went fucky. Also since none of my players are here, her name is Nina Edleweise, a 23 year old Rotfront resident, jailed for being part of the Rotfront revolutionary committee, a group aiming for the planet’s independence from both the nation and empire.

- Lilith gets the urge to go over to block A-7, around the same time as Eve getting a bad feeling about Lilith. Cue a heartfelt moment 

- cue the horrors for Lilith the moment she gets to block A-7 because the watcher wants to have a word with her. Ends up having a nice chat with… herself (highlights included, making Lilith think she killed Her closest friend, beaming a highlight reel from the human she’s based on’s life, going to that one rocky island, having a fun chat with that same person while her own corpse, learning the name of the template she was built off. Lilya. In character she won’t remember this but the players for her liked it)

-Lilith getting puppeteered around but trying to get back to the gang and- getting steered towards an open elevator shaft.

- the gang finds Lilith spinning in a doorway. Attempts at stopping her are ineffective but eventually it is done (Eve hit her with a fucking hell-sweep like this shit Tekkan. However since Bird was hanging off Lilith’s arm in a attempt to stop her from spinning, she also gets fucking launched into an elevator because I’m allergic to being subtle about where my players need to go to progress the story to the next stage.)

- the locker room is fine? Wrong! Corrupted Eule in one of the lockers. Also that Elster from like, the second session. (Yeah, remember L.S.T.R-001 “defect” from the early sessions)

- oh hey another reference to the oc of a person in the campaign(an arctic colonist parka belonging to Magnus Alabaster) as well as the drawing of foreshadowing.

- ending the session by Edmund folding a corrupted Eule in the showers like a lawn chair.

Again, my apologies for the delay fellow overseers, which reminds me I am now opening “audience participation” which is to say, if you have any ideas how to fuck with these robots. I’ll get to any ideas within a reasonable timeframe 

hi

Unfortunately I can not find my notes from session 8 at the moment, I’m still looking so please be patient. As I have to 

From what I do remember, Lilith’s player was late so she was floating off the ground, the party was searching through a few hallways, had a brief run in with the ceaseless watcher, Lilith came in, they met an actual human character while exploring a prison that technically shouldn’t exist,  his name is Edmund, he’s technically not my character, and he’s supposed to have an Irish accent but I am unable to actually DO an Irish accent so I just did my best Scottish accent and it was fine, they met the merchant. She doesn’t like Ed. Anyway they met an almost corrupted star unit  who knew Fox! Also she finds him annoying and wasn’t willing to help so she… let herself out.

As slight bad news from this point on, there’s a good chance Lilith’s player will need to leave the campaign due to their job among other factors I am not at liberty to discuss.

Notes from episode 7.5

- Eve fucking IMPLODES in an elevator 

- the gang wakes up in some bombed out bunker

- so this is the fabled “outsi-“ THE WAR (also we’re on EARTH this episode!)

- oh hey there’s this injured and confused imperial pilot out here

- Lilith had to pretend to denounce the nation

- the pilot’s name is Nicole, and- oh wait what is this the human Bird was based on? (Yes) ((damn.))

- she explains (While Lilith tends to her wounds) that her transport plane got shot down while she was deploying a strike team. Also she’s extremely confused as to why there’s an administration unit out here that has an anti-tank rifle. (Y’know, ignoring the leather jacket and pink nails) ((we’ll get to that))

- the gang resolves to go south since there’s an airbase that way

- there’s a Flakr in these woods and she’s very confused as to why a SURGEON (Lilith) is in the WOODS with the ENEMY.

- session ends with Lilith deflecting a 40mm Anti Air shell back at the Flakr and then the gang gets fucking eviscerated by shrapnel, sending them back to the hallway they started

This session ended far earlier than usual, time zones are funny aren’t they?

Also as you noticed, Eve was not present in this session, don’t worry she won’t have any burns from exploding like she did from getting her brain blasted, but yeah, that’s why this week was a .5 episode rather than a normal session.

Notes from session 7

(Minor note at the start, there is a good chance that Lilith’s player will have to withdraw from the campaign soon due to his job.)

- Eve’s got a headache. Also some bandages. Golly gee, I wonder why?

- bird and fox do their best to explain *the game show* last episode

- Zwei does her best snapcube robotnic impression because she has no fucking clue what those three are talking about 

- Lilith finally wakes up again and immediately helps Eve get that point of persona back.

- exploring the rationing office (this took up most of the episode actually)

- snooping through the computer in here. The password was “8008” because I thought it’d be funny

- security footage of an imperial star unit getting into a gunfight (and loosing) before the camera itself is sent to Europa’s surface 

- emails are nothing out of the ordinary, barring an email from Falke, stating that riot suppression protocols have changed. And an email telling everyone to keep a far lower profile on mining operations.

- open Zwei’s dms and- oh Christ that is… unprofessional.

- the mines are alive! This definitely won’t be a problem later, why do you ask?

- rest of the DMs are standard fare (people bitching between each other) (except a Mynah just sending Zwei pictures of stuffed animals)

- to a room across the hall! (We have an hour and a half left.)

- the worker bathrooms are very bare-bones, found half a key though.

- in the mirror, Eve doesn’t see her fellows around her. She sees a short woman in a pilot’s suit(Bird), a middle aged man in an Officer’s clothes(fox), and a medic(Lilith). Eve is dead in the reflection, BIRD however can see a young woman in winter clothes in Eve’s place in the reflection.

- to the last corridor of the session!

- we close the session off with Fox’s player falling asleep and a weird. And a very brief combat encounter.

Shorter notes than usual, but that’s more because we had less going on this time, here’s hoping some more things go on next session.

Notes from episode 6.5:

- still sitting around in the office (something wicked this way comes)

- Eve intentionally destabilises herself to remember that kid she read about, promptly incurs 1 point of personal damage and one blown fuse(no physical damage tho)

- as Fox helps her up, the ceaseless watcher throws some weird device at the two, it hits Eve, and promptly breaks.

- Fox inspects the weird doohickey. It’s an improbability drive. Wait a second.

- oh hey bird got pulled through the floor.

- Oh nice, same shit happened to Eve and Fox too. Obviously.

- you three are live in 10

- oh hey, some earpieces- YOU CAN HEAR YOUR PLAYER AAAA

- Eve finds a familiar looking gas mask and tries to stabilise (and fails)

- why are there so many guns isn’t this a dressing room

- Fox almost shoots Eve. And by “almost” I mean he very much so DOES but it gets reversed for everyone except fox. He knows he did. But it’s not like Eve’s dead. Yet.

- oh shit we’re out of time here, to the stage!

- meet our host, a custom replika I made late last year named Osprey, or O.S.P.R, a dual purpose entertainment and high-priority target termination. She’s annoying.

- oh hey, the audience of foreshadowing.

- Eve’s player has to leave, so Eve(the character) gets fucking executed on live television. She’ll be better next episode dw

- trivia continues, with Osprey getting more annoyed at the remaining imperials with each question.

- with the trivia done, we’re over budget so just toss them into the arena

- fox is done fucking around.

- bird is too silly to kill ANYTHING except one grunt that died of pitty.

- Fox Kills Osprey. Who promptly comes back in as if nothing ever happened.

- arena done, imperials are out

- oh hey it’s USMC George to be aggressive and cryptic again

- enter the hole, oh hey you’re outside the horrors- WAIT

- oh thank fuck, the horrors are gone.

- wait is the facility normal now????

- holy shit there’s uncorrupted Eules here! All of which are on edge! 

- one Eule jogs to the pantry to write an email to the other cleaning/maintenance personnel because she thinks it’s about the performance review.

- Fox and bird find her mid email writing and then have a sensible laugh before being dragged to the watcher’s “office”

- minor monologue from her before we ended the session. Six minutes overtime.

Our first “episode”, which itself was one massive reference to madness combat. Mostly with that improbability drive nonsense.

fair enough, also it's that time of the week again!

Notes from session 6

• unsurprisingly, a pantry full of rotting food is not fucking enjoyable,
• there's a freezer. why is it fucking MOVING??????
• hey, Fox, go touch the moving Freezer,
• hey look, there's a dnd campaign going on in the freezer- oh never mind it's meat,
• unsurprisingly, opening the box of rotting meat? not a good smell, thank you for closing it, Bird.,
• unless you're lilith, I guess.,
• holy shit, Lilith actually comforting someone that isn't Eve? what did Bird do to get the special treatment? [second direct acknowledgment of the way we mostly use masculine pronouns both in and out of character when referring to Bird],
• Eve finds the ashes of that Star from earlier,
• Eve ALSO needs to stop taking point because she keeps nearly getting attacked. nearly got a bullet in her head,
• you thought the Clinic would be normal? FOOL THAT YOU ARE, time travel! [on a technicality],
• fish tank :],
• Eve attempts to look up patient data, finds out there is/was a kid in her care- oh sweet jesus, it's a Blizzard,
• inside is Lewis, an imperial. he's very confused as to why what he thinks are the cops are at a metropolitan gp clinic he works at. during a snow storm.,
• "FYM it's 2018?????????" [I was intentionally vague about the dates],
• come to this weird fictionalised version of Manitoba, we have: the dumbest fucking fire escape design on this plane of reality [like, you need to go up a staircase to get to the roof, but then there's a staircase down the side that ALSO connects to some high-rise building too like wtf],
• Fox gets that leather jacket I promised their player a bit ago[session 2],
• Eve ptsd flashbacks,
• walking down the "street with too many yield signs",

[silent hill joke]

• police station, everything is damp,
• the red door,
• WE'RE BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN,
• oh hey, it's a S.T.C.R. oh she's an asshole. [surprisingly, Zwei isn't dead yet.],

end of session

overall, this session dipped into some fun storytelling stuff for me personally, although I might try to avoid the one-off locations in the future,  Lewis though is sticking around [albeit older but yk]

most  problems I have are only relating to how I personally plan encounters, one thing that's slightly a nitpick is that reloading should probably be classed as a simple action, rather than a complex one, might help streamline things. this was the most combat heavy session yet, but there weren't too many problems. I guess it's more accurate to say "not as many problems as I was expecting"

honestly, I'm tempted to try making some renders of the replikas I've been talking about in these Session logs, but I guess I could give some random notes on each of them if asked, it's whatever.

we're back with yet another set of sparknotes!!

Notes from session 5

- hanging out in the hallway outside the horrors

- actually trying to talk about any of the horrors[tm] 

- Eve checking on the scar fox got from getting courier 6’d

- in one of many horrid choices Lilith went into “The door that shows you the horrors + gestalt memories” and almost gets vivisected by a version of the gestalt she was built off. 

[She’s the first person here to actually get any persona damage!]

- Lilith has her first true glimpse of the ceaseless watcher, of whom her player warned her (not hyperbole in the slightest)

- Lilith gets a friendly fire citation

- fox is somehow playing fucking ANGRY BIRDS

Empire time

- Fox & bird go into the next room, which is apparently a kitchen.

- turns out those empire lads are quite sneaky 

- first new enemy of the campaign! Corrupted star units catalogued 

- combat lasted about four turns, which is a new record

 - Bird continues their trend of rolling abysmally at inopportune times.

- flare + corrupted star = the entire thing burning to ash apparently. Also there was a repair patch inside the other Star

- fucked up sneaking back to the others, more combat 

- Eve goes into the bathroom, her reflection changes to a gestalt, gets hit with a flashbang by that soldier from Fox’s memories. Got a patch of a flag

- the mirror is broken, showing a frozen over copy of the bathroom 

- that soldier’s still around here. Somewhere 

- showing Fox the flag from the guy that shot him in the head, in fact, was not enjoyable, mostly because it means it was in some way real

- the gang searches the storeroom (featuring the ceaseless watcher’s atomic shadow I guess)

- saying that the pantry is unkempt is putting it charitably. Not that it’s a sea of rot but a lot of stuff is decayed.

- Eve misses a point blank shot.

- Lilith stabs the corrupted Eule and gets a cleaver in her shoulder 

- Bird misses

- Fox puts the Eule down

- Eve stomps its skull in

- Lilith gets that point of persona back after hacking the corpse up

this was the most combat heavy session by far, a welcome surprise zum Ruhm unserer wunderbaren Nation!

great news then, I have more notes :]

Notes from session 4

- waking up (to ash and rust)

- simply ignore the existential dread overcoming you

- everyone’s internal clocks are fucked. Severely 

- the office(tm)

- the great revolutionary? Or the great traitor? More at eleven

[we almost derailed at the office tbh]

- too many key cards, so little time

- service corridor

hi! just wanted to say I'm running a campaign using this later this week, if I remember, hopefully I'll put updates here after the players make progress!

zum Ruhm unserer wunderbaren Nation!

is there a way for me, a random person on itch.io to get my hands on this game for the purpose of content creation and/or recreation?

I don't want to sound demanding, or rude, but I fucking NEED a sequel of what happened after octo expansion, this game is so good, couldn't recommend it enough. 80/40
