Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast that is normally about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, and sometimes it's about The Expanse but today is about the 2023 James S.A. Corey novella How it Unfolds. This episode is spoilers for the entire Expansiverse and Unfoldsiverse!

In this episode:

• We meet Roy Court and his former wife Anjulah as they unfold throughout the universe, discovering the beautiful and terrible possibilities of living thousands of lives on thousands of worlds.
• Megan Lee makes THEEE most romantic gesture in the history of humankind, and it works.
• Brigid explains epistolary storytelling, drops a banger GnR reference, and summarizes the wonderful timeloop of this amazing story.
• Clint talks about ghosting, Moore's Law, the common law, and why How it Unfolds > Project Hail Mary.
• JSAC makes yet another ASOIAF reference, we make some memes.
• Your hosts explore whether this story is in The Captive's War universe, and come down firmly on one side. Our wonderful audio engineer comes down on the other.
