December 18, 2025 · 59 min

Show notes

Silas' past journey reaches Depth Three, Necropolis, where Beckett's attempts at delaying Nico pay off as his lead grows. Presently, Elizabeth reckons with the consequences of her actions saving the others from the previous adventure, finding opportunity couched in fresh danger. Nico makes an astonishing suggestion for their next destination.
