The REDACTED Reports

The close of the curtain might transport an audience back to reality, but those behind the scenes know the play doesn’t end when the blackout is called. The work lights come on, and it’s time to mop up and reset for the next one.

This is how it ends. Who will take their bows at curtain call? Content Warnings: Body Horror throughout Gunshots (46:41, 50:42, 54:20) Misophonia (42:53 - 45:00 and 51:43 - 52:01) Car Accident (52:04) (Extra Music used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/walking-into-darkness )

(CW: Gunshot at 24:39, Drowning, Physical Injury) The final act is fast approaching, but the agents are left without a full cast. As the clock counts down to the masquerade, R Cell races to find the rest of the missing actors…including one of their own. (Additional music used: Victor Orchestra, et al. Asleep in the Deep. 1913.

Halfway between worlds, the plot thickens. Most of the team confronts the idea that roles some agents are playing may go deeper than coincidence. And though one agent has found a way back out to their own world, getting back to the team to show them all the way is another matter…

(CW: Body Horror, Eyes, Misophonia at 29:50) All dressed up, now to find someplace to go. The agents are starting to piece together the rules of this strange other-world, but that doesn’t mean they’ve played their full part yet. For that, they’ll have to go meet the director.

Access to the city was hard won, but the agents are finally inside and able to ask questions. However, a mythical city full of fictional characters is not the most reliable place to find information. Surrounded by cryptic answers, strange signs, and all this talk of masks, can the agents trust anything here - even themselves?

From the unknowable eldritch minds of the creators of R Cell comes THE INTERNS, a horror-comedy podcast set in the world of The Redacted Reports. #checkthedate

(CW: Trypophobia, Medical Horror, Teeth) The body count is rising, and not in the fun way. But a mysterious city in a lost, or nonexistent, land seems to be the best lead the agents have to finally find out what happened to their missing persons. However, nothing is ever simple, and there’s still a toll to be paid…

Entering a mysterious trap door isn’t usually a great survival strategy, and the odds get worse when it’s hidden in a mausoleum. But investigating the lead often requires risks, and R Cell is used to making risky maneuvers…

(CW: Sirens 8:02 - 8:19) The queasy stomachs just add another layer to the rising discomfort R Cell has with each new bit of information they uncover. It seems one very specific version of this script will be the key to unlocking any more answers, a version no one has a copy of. But some of the agents know where they might find the key to their key…

A truce with the unknown is never easy, if that’s even what just happened? What R Cell does know is that getting access to the mausoleum is now crucial to their continued investigations. Unfortunately, dead men tell no tales…and turns out that isn’t limited to pop-culture pirates.

It’s rare that R Cell has a subject matter expert to assist them, but as clues and “coinkydinks” pile up, maybe it’s never been more important. Lore and theory meet observation and reality head-to-head as the agents and the academic try to make sense out of what they’ve discovered, and make a plan for what they can do about it.

Past collides with the present as the investigation continues. A mysterious phone call leads Ross and Regan to someone with both a bizarre story connected to the theatre and an unexpected connection to a previous agent of R Cell. Meanwhile, River and Rowan try to connect the dots between three brothers who know too little of their own history, and too much of R Cell’s. (Extra music used: https://s...

Indie theatre has a certain reputation for unusual concepts, but last night’s show seemed weird even by those standards. Still, a new day dawns, and now R Cell finds themselves looking for information someplace even more unsettling than the theatre…a place they had hoped to never visit again, lest they find themselves never leaving.

Compared to some investigations, R Cell has uncovered an unexpected wealth of information to add to the file. Though some of the team is still shaken from a glimpse of something they aren’t sure they were meant to see, there will certainly be time to ponder that after the comedy show. No late seating!

Reading may be R Cell’s most dangerous pastime, but it can still only get them so far in an investigation before the boots (and Regan’s sensible heels) need to hit the pavement. River and Ross head out to investigate a theatre which may or may not exist, while Rowan and Regan follow up on the contacts of the play’s enigmatic missing director.

A new year means a new mission, and this one is a far cry from R Cell’s usual fare. On the surface, a missing persons case hardly seems like it would be linked to the Unnatural, but the Agents know by now that anything can hide sinister supernatural secrets…even something as straightforward as a stage play.

This case is gonna be a little bit different for R Cell...this is a missing persons case...

Superstitions are prevalent in the theatre community, but this is bizarre even amongst those who are accustomed to it. And as the actors get farther into the rehearsal process, they have to wonder: is just this a normal part of the theatrical weirdness, or is there something deeper and stranger at work in this production?

Summer 2024, and whispers ripple through the San Francisco theatre scene. A visionary director has gathered a group of mostly-unknown actors, and rehearsals for yet another bold indie production begin.

On October 18th, 2023, the members of R Cell and their shadowy Handler convened in a secret location to discuss the events and aftermath of Season 6, known as Operation Kaleidoscope. Guided by Agent Harker (Alandra Hileman), they discussed the various things that happened throughout the season (yes, including THAT). Come and join the conversation, but beware the spoiler warnings.

It's that time again...we've got a Live Talkback with the TRR team on our books for Wednesday, October 17 at 7pm PT on the Quests and Chaos YouTube! Hit up any of our socials for the link to submit your questions, and we hope to see you there!

Knowing all the possible risks is not the same as understanding the consequences. R Cell has always known that someday this could be the outcome, and now they will have to understand what it means to go forward when it's happened. But first, a toast.
