Ep 6 - Blue and Gold

I must say I was really happy with the way Episode 6 turned out. I’m also proud to report that this time, I didn't spend 27 hours in one go creating it. I’m sure my wife, my cat, and my poor overactive brain appreciated the change in pace.

In this episode, "Blue and Gold," Cyber Monday hits harder than expected. While Remus, Aric, and Mc Wordy are busy arguing about pies and haircuts, Skylar delivers the bad news: Orvak Trenholme is racing toward Earth, his braking burn set to light up the December sky before he arrives to kill everyone (except Lady Deadheart, naturally).

Suddenly the house needs defences, I need a reality check, and Mc Wordy needs to stop doing crypto scams to fund the upgrades.

Meanwhile, aboard the Hayurei, Deadheart unveils Remus’s gift: a stunning new set of blue-and-gold armour, complete with a brain-linked hover drone. We also receive an intercepted transmission between Orvak and Kovosh confirming that War is coming and biscuits won’t save us this time.

The Music

This episode's original AI song is called “On the Eve of War.” I wrote the lyrics to echo what happens to us in the real world: we try and hide from the reality that is coming. I did it in a Country Hip Hop style that I found quite catchy I’ve actually been singing it all week.

Give the episode a listen, and check out the promo video below (try not to laugh at Virtual Aric) my wife hasn’t stopped yet 😂.
