A car horn blares. Somewhere electronic pop plays over a speaker. A door handle turns. A shotgun blasts. What takes root far beneath the busy streets of Intercession? Join us for part 1 of the finale of The Route. I'll be honest Timeless, I don't know what to think. Me and Dusk go way back. I trust her like I trust my right arm to move when I need it. Her group, ROOT is...eccentric, in their tactics, in their motives, in their backgrounds. Sometimes that's what we need. They showed up at our doorstep last month with a whole community of weirdo exiles that I don't think another squad could've recruited. Sometimes though, they're a bigger risk than we can afford to take. Dusk is at a crossroads. This whole fucking city is. They just don't know it yet. So lets keep trying to take them down the right path, yea? In arms, Romeo P.S. Did you see that reimbursement form I sent up? Just checking.

Just as ROOT has begun deescalating things with The Harbor, Barry Hughs and his gang of light racers have shown up to take what's theirs. Can the team hold them off? Or has Ken doomed them all? Star gets a number. Fleet gets a new friend. Dusk gets a phone call. Ken gets ignored. Hey, its Breakbulk. I don't know what happened, but I'm gonna assume the worst. Wherever you are...well, I can't promise I'll talk them into finding you...but, we'll figure out who put you there. We'll get that son of a bitch.

ROOT talks their way through the Harbor headquarters in an attempt to secure the solar tap. Dusk looks intimidating. Ken calls in backup. Fleet's past finds him. Star finds time and space for an emotional connection. FROM: Zenlive Talent Management Division TO: Remembered Plea SUBJECT: OFFICIAL WARNING AND REPRIMAND Dear Remembered Plea!

ROOT makes a strange discovery beneath the burning sun in the lost district of the hollows. Ken spots an old coworker. Fleet slips through a door. Dusk brings some PJs.

ROOT calls on old friends as they prepare for their latest mission: tracking down a tap placed on an important pipeline of solar energy for the Chrome Hand. Dusk plays cards. Fleet knocks on a door.

It's time to rest, recover, and repair for ROOT in our first downtime session. Fleet visits a good garage. Star looks angelic. Dusk lets off some steam. Ken sells out. Everyone comes up with some terrible character names. Hey Mr. Hughs. I've got the device. It took a few calls, but it looks like Al-Amin doesn't have a lot of friends at MOTR either. From what I've heard Zhou is...not the most upstanding guy. I think your angle might be our best bet. I'll be there on comms when you need me, as long as I'm still getting a cut. Here's hoping this time next week everything will have worked itself out. Luck, Charter The Route is our new Actual Play podcast, playing through a campaign of The Sprawl.

How will ROOT fare when they face down with Sibyl Disturbance and the Cherrygrove security team? Will they succeed in making away with the prototype? Or buy the farm in an alley before this story's even getting started? Find out in this week's episode of: The Route. Star tries to shine. Ken keeps his cool. Fleet does some first aid. Dusk does some 'first aid'. A rooftop showdown. The smell of propellant. The flash of a light. A pair of wings. Something falls.

ROOT causes some traffic in their attempt to pull off their first heist, but the resistance they meet may prove more difficult than they expect. Ken directs a crowd. Dusk eats some fries. Star shoots a video. Fleet shoots a minigun. //~ZENERGY IDOLS CENTRAL~// Section: //~STAR HIKARI FAN FORUM~// Thread: Appearances/Events New Post by TwinklingStar27: STAR HIKARI VIDEO SHOOT!!!

In our first episode of play, ROOT gets their first mission: To steal a mysterious prototype from the hands of the Cherrygrove Zaibatsu, before it can be sold to Zenergy. Ken travels to Paris, Star scores an invite, Fleet calls an old friend, Dusk sharpens her blades. ROOT prepares. BEGIN SECURE MATRIXWISE TRANSMISSION...CABECON TO CCG CONTROL... CONTROL: Update?

In this character and world-building episode, the crew gets together for the first time to make characters, talk setting, and set the scene for our new actual play campaign of The Sprawl. Scott pumps the gas. Solon checks his lighting. Niall finds his gang. Rose sharpens her blades. Janie ticks some clocks. Intercession lies in wait. BEGIN TRANSCRIPT OF UNDERGROUND C.A.N.D.L.E.S. TRANSMISSION... Beneath the footholds of the Rocky Mountains, at a crossing of 6 transnational deep roads, lies a precipitate city, somewhere that only exists to be between two better places. Those who end up here, have nowhere else to go. So they drive and push and fix and kill, always searching for something more. Another gig. Another shot at fame. Another chance to escape their past. Another way to change this world. But listeners...never forget, that we are wrought of chrome and carbon and silicon. We are but tools, made for hands far bigger than our own. I don’t think they’ll ever let their tools go moving on their own. This is Timeless, signing off. END TRANSMISSION. The Route is our new Actual Play podcast, playing through a campaign of The Sprawl.
