It's an update from MotherNerd herself! Basically, life has been A LOT lately and I need a little room to breathe. So we're taking a break from the main story, which will return September 1st. In the meantime, we have some bonus content.
Please enjoy this not at all emotional or sinister witness statement we recovered that details what happens to a human who gets too close to The Barrier, that strange installation isolating the Unified Sapien Quadrant from the rest of space.
When you're done here, be sure to check out our friends at Deep Space Radio and Haunted Hauls.
And maybe join our Discord. And our Patreon. Or find us on TikTok. You know, if you want. But we'd totally dig it if you did.

The Quadrant
Our story opens within the isolated quadrant of space given to humans by the Greater Galactic Council, and separated by The Barrier, meant to keep the Sapien Threat clear from the rest of the civilizations that make up the stars.
Known as the Unified Sapien Quadrant, a vast capitalist nightmare awaits Travellers, with mega-corporations in control of our day to day for those who choose to live under the rule and protection of Unified Command. Or, for those not afraid of a little hard work, and the ever-present threat of pirate attacks, one could live within Colony controlled outposts. And for the truly adventurous, there is a life of piracy, or a clandestine existence as a free-speech protector, as a member of the free and independent news networks that operate through relays and resistance cells.
But the growing threat of piracy is not the only thing Travelers with The Quad need to fear, because a deadly virus is on the loose, and an ancient and unholy organization seeks to release a reality-ending monstrosity.
