Description

We're entering Solaris to beat up all the fascists, kill their leaders, and save the world. Our discussion and activities include wondering why Krelian let Emeralda go, denying the compulsion to adopt Maria, worrying about Hammer time, getting in shipping containers, realizing most of the fictional Solarian hellscape is 2020's actual hellscape, escaping with Samson, removing Samson from the physical plane, engaging The Chewbacca Defense, Entrenstrolling, either killing or returning to Mother God, dying our hair blue, and listening to government propaganda. Our friends will be disposed of in the Soylent System to revive the Gazel of old. 00:47 - Intro 02:07 - Extraneous NPCs and existential dread 07:34 - Maria flies the gang to Solaris 13:16 - Fei winds up in K Block 22:50 - Fei, Elly, & Samson weasel out of K Block 32:09 - Infiltrating Solaris' second class level (music sample: "Solaris - Eden of Heaven") 41:39 - Bouncing around the second class apartments 45:49 - The Dedication Ceremony, Cain's speech 51:57 - Nisan flashback 57:20 - Krelian's speech 01:01:15 - Fei doesn't understand covert operations 01:04:00 - Outro Find us on Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/retroAM, on Twitter at https://twitter.com/retroamnesiapod and through e-mail at retrogradeamnesiapodcast@gmail.com
