See those puppet masters pull their string. It’s interesting not because watching those with power exert that power on those that don’t has any value, but to see how those without push back, or don’t. Watch as they choose what fights are worth the energy and what fights are more trouble than they're worth. Deciding where best to share blood and where best to stop the bleeding.

I came from somewhere else and began to make space for itself with no regard to what was already here. Folks were even encouraged to plant it during the 30s.Whatever helpful properties it does have, however, don’t outweigh the bad. Pushing the life of this place out. Taking land that wasn’t it’s to begin with. Strangling the life out of something else just to get a little bit more. The history of Appalachia summarized in one vine.

It’s a vine I am sure you have seen out your car window. Roilin at the edges of the road, covering trees. Casting a deep, green shadow over wooded patches. It’s vines have snaked their way deep into the American South, and in Elder County in particular. While seemingly commonplace, what with their ubiquity on the landscape, these vines have a disastrous habit. They are an invasive species, pushing those plants native to Appalachia out of the way. Smothering and starving them, taking up every inch of available space.

They will get you up from your lowest lows and help you down from your highest highs. For the regular folks on the outside of the wheel, that’s your safety net. Connections. Community. It can feel like nothing in the face of all those at the center of the wheel. What do you and your folks matter when staring down the kind of power that makes things turn? Let me tell ya, one grain of sand does nothing, but enough grit is gonna grind any machine to a halt.

You see there is a bit of a myth in places like Elder County about rugged individualism. Folks like to say that we here in the mountains love to be left alone, and to a degree that’s true, but one does not survive on these mountains by themselves. Those that try don’t make it too long. No, folks around here build communities, form friendships and make families. The best of them reach out when they’re weak and hold others up when they're strong. Locking hands, forming bonds and holding fast against whatever might come along.

People you can stare at the coming storm with, grip their hands and know that, with them, you can handle what comes next.

Just regular folk trying to make it through their day to day. Well, that is a bit of a lie. One would not call these folks regular. Ya see viewer, this is a troubled time for Elder County. There’s something building. The rumbling grind. Stone scraping on stone. The dull cherry color of metal heating up. Someone is trying to stop the wheel, trying to break down that division of those at the center of it and those on the outside. And these poor folks, well, they get the terrible honor of seeing that start first hand.

Some of them have high minded ideas, or selfless causes that drive them to seek power. Others might think it the natural order of things. That this power is theirs right of birth. Others might seek it as a way to change their station in life. No matter what, the wheel turns, and it doesn’t matter how strong your claim is, or how noble your ideas may be. As long as someone sits at the center of the wheel there will always be folks on the outside. More grist for the mill. Elder County, TN Ep.

Elder County, like so many places, is a wheel. Some sit at the center of the spokes, making the whole thing turn so they can reap the product of the mill. The rest sit on the outside of the wheel desperately trying not to get ground down too badly. What if, dear viewer, someone came along and took ahold of that wheel? Stopped the whole thing from turning? Would those that make it spin begin to be ground down themselves, or would the whole thing just fall apart?

It is clear Evans has failed in his mission. This strike can not be ignored. Not after the last one. The half measures of control we have used over the last eight years have proven themselves worthless. There is no soft, paternal, guiding hand that we can use for this territory. Without these planets, our society does not function. The liminal system alone can not provide the needed raw materials and food we need for day to day life. So begin to spool up your forces. We are not going to rush in and triage the situation. It’s a lost cause. We must do what is necessary to quickly, and meaningfully prevent this from ever happening again. The people of the sector will either fall in line or find out that we will make no place in the world for them.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/roomwherepod Discord: https://discord.gg/ZjwPuRv Website: https://roomwherepod.com/ Patreon: https://roomwherepod.cash Tonight’s main story. There has been a massive terrorist attack on the razor. We here at the Core New Network has received exclusive information about the event. Massive property damage, and casualties have been reported. We are being told that, unsurprisingly, the Rest-By-The-Waters group is to blame. While no official statement has been released by these heartless villains, our sources at the site report calls of…Wait, I’m sorry I am getting breaking news. We are receiving reports that Commander Evans, one of the lights that has been leading us through this current crisis, has been reported missing and presumed dead. We are going to take a short break. Viewers, we ask you to stay strong in these trying times.

The structure has taken multiple heavy hits. At least ten sectors are dark. While we were able to launch bays 6 and 3, launch controls on the other bays have been damaged. Internal reports have a group breaching the hull and making their way through the structure, but sight of the group was lost at sector 8-65. Commander Evans is currently handling troop coordination and trying to get our remaining fighters launched. This is an all call to any UPRC units within distance. We need back up, we need….Hey, who are you? Get……

None of this makes sense. Reports of multiple impacts, depressurization, personnel breach and then nothing. The Razor has missed it’s last 2 check ins. Not a single emergency protocol has been followed. I think. I think it is safe to think the worst might have happened. We need to start preparations for recovery processes. Start warming up the deep space transports, activate all long haul assets. Hopefully any recovery agents will be able to do as they trained too, but we might have lost the territory known as The Bleed for now.

Hell, I even avoid the station. I let so many people down last time I was there. Not just my unit, but everyone in the Bleed. If I had had a better, or kept my head on a swivel more, or been more in the moment then maybe things would have been different. Story of my life though. Shouldas and couldas and wouldas. Truth is I’m afraid. It feel like it missed last time and going back there will put me in it’s sights. Sure as hell ain’t gonna stop me though. Not everybody gets a second chance at helping to change the world.

You know why I’m calling. Some of you know this feeling you have in the pit of your stomach. It’s one you got familiar with almost a decade ago. It’s the feeling that pushed you into the streets and then into the fray. It’s the feeling that caused us to shed blood and lose people we love. It’s a feeling we’re afraid of. We have good reason to be afraid. So much was broken last time. Relationships, our hearts, our spirits. It’s a wound that can only be covered, never healed and always raw. But we can’t live in fear. We are going to have to bear these wounds if we want a better world. I wish there was a better way, and maybe at some point there was, but the UPRC has moved past that. It is our mission, our duty to put ourselves between the UPRC and all those people who will be hurt by this. It’s gonna hurt, but when, not if, when we come out the other side of this with a better world we can look at the wounds we bear with pride because we earned them doing the right thing.

I’m Blessing Harris and I guess I’m a traitor to the state? At least that is what many would seem to have you think. Because we ask questions. Because we push back. If that makes me and those who choose to work for me traitors, well I guess are. Commandeer Evans is no saint defied in the fire war. Supposed heroes not only can be, but should be questioned. I am not going to sit here and tell you if violence is or is not justifiable. That’s a decision you have to make, and unlike other networks, we trust you to make that call on your own. What I do know is that this rise in activity from the Rest By The Water’s group has coincided with a number of stories that should, but are not getting traction on other networks. It’s no secret that the UPRC and Commander Evans in particular don’t have an open door policy with information. But why listen to me? I’m a traitor after all. Like all the representatives who have spoken out about this. Like the Johnnies. Seems like we are all the same breed of traitor. How convenient.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/roomwherepod Discord: https://discord.gg/ZjwPuRv Website: https://roomwherepod.com/ Patreon: https://roomwherepod.cash Welcome back to the Core New Network Evening Report, I’m Rebecka Higginbotham. Returning to our top story tonight, the supposed unrest about the continued marshal law and the universal firmware update that is due to drop within the week. To me it seems like a bunch of hogwash. I mean, come on look at public opinion polls put out by competitors. These are the same mainstream media outlets I have regularly railed against, but they all show an overwhelmingly positive feeling toward these actions. If those spineless losers can see the truth and get with the program then Blessing Harris and the rest of WPR need to too. Look, am I happy with martial law? No, but this Rest By The Waters group forced the UPRC’s hand. Commander Evans is a war hero, a man who has shed blood to uphold peace, but Blessing Harris and WRP have the gall to call into question his motivations when we can see what is happening out there with our own two eyes. Honestly viewers I ask you who do you really think has some altier motive? The man doing everything he can to protect us and our families, or the people calling for us to welcome the words of extremists?

These are unprecedented times. I am sure that it feels like every time you turn on the news this Rest By The Waters group is orcastating another attack on the fundamental values of our society. While we all may not agree on everything, we all fought hard to make this society what it is today, and these people, these terrorists don’t care about that sacrifice. They have done everything in their power to turn the tools WE made to preserve the loves WE shed blood for against us. This martial law will only be temporary, but this universal firmware update will ensure our peaceful future. I know things are scary right now, but only together can we hope to restore peace and order to this sector.

This isn’t a dispute about values, or freedom. This isn’t a populist movement. These are people who only want anarchy. They want to end the way of life WE ALL fought for. I know it is easy to get pulled in by their rhetoric, but these people don’t want a better world. They just want this one to burn.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/roomwherepod Discord: https://discord.gg/ZjwPuRv Website: https://roomwherepod.com/ Patreon: https://roomwherepod.cash With any luck, we should be able to get some solid field testing in soon. I know these seem scary. This is a huge leap forward, but we all know that this sector is getting more and more out of control. There are people out there that are jealous of, and want to tear down our way of life. These are the sorts of tools we need to maintain our way of life, and frankly, I don’t think any of rabble rousers that could stand up to this sort of tech.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/roomwherepod Discord: https://discord.gg/ZjwPuRv Website: https://roomwherepod.com/ Patreon: https://roomwherepod.cash I know what you’re thinking, “Well gee, that all sounds good but what if this thing start thinking for itself?” Rest assured that that is not possible. While the unit does have advanced problem solving skills and can work independently, it does not ‘think’ in the way you and I do. It does come with a program personality. This is to help it deal with future interactions once they are deployed for civilian peacekeeping. There is no way that this thing will become ‘alive’ like you and I am.

It is a fully thinking, fully autonomous weapon capable of complex problem solving and directionless action. Simply put, it is the future of war as we know it. These will replace soldiers in suits, I have no doubt about it. No longer are we going to lose the lives of our brave troops in conflicts. They can also, in the future, be retrofitted for peacekeeping duties. They will be the tip of the spear that brings order to this system.

I’m a bit of a nerd, though guess that’s obvious cause I’m here, right? So the project really started roughly seven years ago when we got a very interesting surplus mech from the war. You all are probably aware of that, seeing as it was the basis for the current drone program. However, the wealth of knowledge from that mech just had it’s surface scratched. Let’s begin.

It’s finally happened. Evans has decided we are more trouble than we are worth. We all knew this would happen eventually. Once we were of no more use to him, Evans would pull the plug.

I don’t believe we have formally met, though I know quite a bit about you, Samson Shelby. I am the commander of the forces in this territory. I believe you know my child, Owaine. I am contacting you not because you are the face of a terrorist organization that has, admittedly, been a thorn in my side for some time now, but because of a common enemy. Elijah has shown his true colors, finally, and buried a dagger in my back. It’s a feeling I trust you are still familiar with. Unfortunately, I do not have the time, or resources to hunt that snake down. That is why I am contacting you. Attached to this message are the security codes you will need to dock at the facility you know as The Sunsphere. I know you will wonder if this is a trap, and I don’t blame you thinking so. Do with them what you will, but I can tell you know that he is vulnerable right now, he is on the back foot, and for the years that I have known him, I have never seen him show an ounce of regret for the years he took away from you.

I WANT A STRIKE TEAM TO BRING ME ELIJAH’S FUCKING HEAD! To hell with it. Get me counterintelligence. If that snake wants to put a dagger in my back then I have one with his name on it. I don’t give a damn what you have to do or if it’s traceable to us, send this message to Samson Shelby. “Your God Father is on The Sunsphere. How would you like the access codes?”

The priorities are the data banks, everything else in that facility is expendable. Yes, the staff. Did I stutter? As long as we have the data the project can continue. I want Elijah Hope-For-The-Harvest brought to heel.

I am sure they are going to be expecting up. Treat everyone in that facility as a hostile. I don’t care if they are wearing our uniforms or waving our colors. They made their choice.Our main objective is to reclaim this facility. Try and avoid any collateral damage to the machinery, or buildings. Elijah might be a traitor, but he was right about this facility being a valuable resource. We can always get more bodies, much of this machinery is one of a kind.

Did you think I wouldn’t find out about the stunt you are pulling at the Harlan facility? I guess it makes sense now why you were pushing so hard to get it online. I had more faith in you Elijah. I thought you had vision at least, if loyalty. It’s not your fault, though. You are a product of where you were raised. This place, the Bleed, is a place of small people seeing things on only a small scale. It’s my fault really, for thinking someone from here could see the grand picture.

The man is self serving, self interested, and always looking for his next rung to climb. He’s the kind of man who would be better suited in the core than this miserable backwater. I don’t trust him, but I do trust his ambition. I know that I can always offer him a better deal, because I have the one thing he values more than anything else. His own, scaly skin.

Phase one of the unmanned drone production is almost complete. We have utilized every available resource from the Harlan facility as well as co-opting production facilities near The Razor, sorry, I mean station 42307. It’s hard to not let the common vernacular infect your speech. As soon as we get phase 2 of production on line, these facilities can go back to normal. The core will never even notice the drop in resource production.

We are ONE WEEK from the premiere of SAGAS OF THE SUNLESS REACH: THE RIDDLE OF RUEL! To tide you over, here's the second half of our pilot test recording as our heroes absolutely save the day and don't make things worse for anybody.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/roomwherepod Discord: https://discord.gg/ZjwPuRv Website: https://roomwherepod.com/ Patreon: https://roomwherepod.cash Decrypted UPRC Research Document XJ-9: The subjects are showing odd behavior. Outside of the abhorrent behavior shown on the field site, these units are refusing to respond to orders and are somehow resisting shutdown sequences. Commander Evans has deemed them objects of interest, otherwise they would be decommissioned and parts at this moment. Unit A has been making odd noises. Whirs and clicks of internal mechanisms. They have a rhythmic quality to them. Almost speech-like. A briefing packet sent to us from The Sunsphere facility urged us to place them in containment together. They said this might lead to a breakthrough in the program.

We have something special for you. In two weeks a new project will debut on the Standing Stones twitch channel. Sagas of the Sunless Reach will be a new story that offers to bring some exciting adventure to your life.

The Commander is sending me out to Harlan to oversee the conversion of that facility into a production line. He’s basically shuttering the bauxite mining and gonna use the tunnels in the mountain to hide the assembly lines. If we have patience with this you get to have that army you’ve been itching to grab. Give me a few months to get a stockpile and let the Commander think I’m still a good soldier, and then you can swoop in. Ain’t no one gonna be able to stand up to you then.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/roomwherepod Discord: https://discord.gg/ZjwPuRv Website: https://roomwherepod.com/ Patreon: https://roomwherepod.cash Well I appreciate the open armed welcome Baron. We got to move fairly quickly. Commander Evans is already making some very big plays. He’s seizing and converting any UPRC ran facilities he can get a hold of the higher ups won’t notice. The Sunsphere was first, but he’s also co-opted Big Rock Candy Mountain. He figures if it’s places folks don’t care about the people in then ain’t nobody gonna come snooping when the status quo changes. That was step one though, getting logistics in order. It’s getting to be time to start rolling these things off the line en mass. After what went down at the Johnnies meeting he got the itch to bring the hammer down hard.

While I can steal just about anything the UPRC throws at me, it would be easier to make that army if I could simply build it. What is that they say? Seize the means of production? Alright, I’m in. You set up a meet, you get me a facility, and you get a warm and welcoming place in my inner circle. Pleasure to be back in business with you Elijah.

A decade ago, when chaos erupted in this system under my watch it left a scar. Deep, bleeding. And while I was able to quell the more seditious hearts of this place, command could not see past that scar. Now I am here, stuck on the edge of civilized space and I will not let this place slip again. I have the means and the will to bring these people to heel. To close this wound. To end The Bleed.

Encryption key verified. Begin playback. Now, I ain’t one to question you too much Commander Evans. You know me, I’m Mister fortune favors the bold. That attitude, and my unique experience in the AFS program, are probably what’s keeping me on staff. I don’t know about this new idea though. This ain’t like rounding up the riff raff. These are people most people like. I ain’t saying they ain’t a roadblock, just one we need to be careful removing. If we don’t play this right, I mean just right, all we’ll be doing is making them Johnnies look better than ever.

I know they told me they were going on an important job when they left, but, well...They dropped a lot of information on me at the time and I was less than encouraging with my reaction. It would have made sense that they left. We always seem to be floating in and out of each other’s lives. Just another passing in the night, so to speak. Things feel different. Not just with us, but about everything. Change is certainly in the air. I do wonder what that change means for us.

It’s a lot to take in. A lot to consider. I had read reports of strange happenings in the field, but I had convinced myself that they were just that, one off, strange occurrences. On a long enough time line, and with so many possible variations, you are going to see just about everything in those reports. It never looked like a pattern. Wait, no. Maybe someone didn’t want it to look like a pattern? That explains why I never figured it out before, or why none of the infosec agents didn’t either. Someone is scrubbing data.Who could be...No, I know who. The real question is, what are Elijah and Commander Evans doing with it
