    Description

    What's in The Rift is a Cortex Prime Actual Play.

    Season 2 follows three hapless robots (ChroniCarl, PsychoBot 2000, and Helpis) plus their one human companion (Donny Fink) as they are thrust unwillingly into a murder mystery that may have far-reaching political ramifications. Of course, they can't be bothered with that unless dragged kicking and screaming by their GM back into the story.

    Episode 17 - Parental Rejection

    The never-ending "C" plot of this podcast gets a new player as Helpis, Donny, and ChroniCarl compete to foist a new parent on a robot. This time, instead of yet another "daddy" the gang sets out to find a "mother." SEU77 and Donny deal with some uncomfortable temperatures in a maintenance tube as the gang tries and fails to handle simple interpersonal interactions with some maintenance bots they encounter during their breaking and entering adventure.

    The gang tracks Seu77 to the nutrition pill warehouse, and are hot on his trail. After a run-in with Melanie, the ruthless receptionist at the no-name office administering the stockpile, they manage to frustrate and annoy enough office workers to grant them access just to get rid of them. While in the warehouse, a number of surprising revelations come to light, the least of which is the existence of magician lawyers. Oh boy!

    Episode 14 - Curing Cancer

    Through the course of obtaining batteries, ChroniCarl and PB discover there may be much more sinister things happening on board the Endeavor than just a mysterious robot murderer. A new friend exhibits some odd behavior before Helpis and Donny rejoin the group. A sudden arrival portends disaster, and its only through the intervention of the least likely savior on board the ship that the party manages to make it out with their metallic and non-metallic hides intact.

    What's in The Rift is a Cortex Prime Actual Play.

    Season 2 follows three hapless robots (ChroniCarl, PsychoBot 2000, and Helpis) plus their one human companion (Donny Fink) as they are thrust unwillingly into a murder mystery that may have far-reaching political ramifications.

    Episode 12 - Considerably Worse News Than I Thought

    In the aftermath of a shooting, everyone does their best to sort out what their next steps are. Helpis is contacted by his father (no, not Chronicarl, the other one), and obliges him on a weird request. Chronicarl does his best to turn tragedy into a resounding political message, but the only real effect seems to be afflicting more robots with reasons to seek Psychobot's therapy services. And Donnie? Donnie is put on a "high stakes" P.I.P. from his old boss.

    Episode 12 - Considerably Worse News Than I Thought

    The gang takes a moment to figure out their next steps, only to find themselves embroiled in a rapidly developing strike at the Zaptron Automat. They've called in scabs, but instead of autoworkers, humans arrive instead. Something seems mightily off about this. By the end of the episode, someone near and dear to our listeners will have died. But, it's probably for the best. Cheers!
