Cyberpunk: Tales from the Oasis

In this second episode of our three part special, Jamie (Reed) is taking over the roll of MC and host for Artemis!

Spoilers ahead -- be sure to give Episode 32 a listen first!!

The Oasis night air feels like a heavy fog threatening to envelop Reed as he stands on the edge of the apartment building’s roof; his face gone starkly pale while contemplating the implications of what he sees.

A noise breaks through the haze of Reed’s consciousness. He hears a Russian accent calling something that sounds like his name, followed by some other words, swallowed by the smoke in the air, and he turns to face the sound, the faces of Mavis, Iso, and Sedoy come into focus.

Episode 35 - Location Scouting

ISO struggles in vain with the restraints of the tangle-foot carpet, as Reed’s slashes into the reaching tendrils. The combined scuffle does an excellent job of muffling the faint hum of an Oasis PD drone hovering into the room behind Sedoy. The near-unheard sound sparks something in her subconscious, drawing forth memories of the past few days - she reflects, temporarily, on the simpler times... when the biggest problems she had to worry about were finding water filters... or a building the group could burn down to satiate that pyromaniacal rockstar’s creative ambitions.

She snaps out of her recollections a moment too late. Before she has any chance to react...
