Ep. 81 - Precursor to a larger tragedy

Season 1, Ep. 81

The time for information gathering has concluded; it's time to be heroes! If only our team knew how! They immediately split the group into the most number of subgroups possible: 4 individuals (and a hoard of Patty's followers). As panic descends on Neptis, can they maintain calm, evacuate civilians, stop Bysshod, and convince Janni to steal a giant mech? So much to do!
