The REDACTED Reports

Rule One: Never Split the Party. But then, when has R Cell ever followed the rules? With five Agents spread to five different parts of the Playa, will some of them finally find solid leads, or will the blur of the Burn blind them to the dangers that lurk at the edges of every turn?

His eyes have to be playing tricks on him, right? As a new day dawns over the Burn, the Agents attempt to continue their investigations. But between the drugs, the dust-storms, and the ghosts of the past that have suddenly appeared, it’s getting harder than expected to figure out what’s a lead and what’s leading them on.

If R Cell ever had a plan, this…was not it. Ross and Regan have scored an in with the influencers, but it remains to be seen if they’ve made it or been made. Rooster has made some connections, for better or worse. And Rowan and River pore over paperwork, reading between the lines of the official reports to see what Unnatural happenings were left out.

First another Desert, and now another Spider? R Cell has made contact with their Friendly on the Playa, and they finally have a solid red string to pull on. But how does a dangerous drug-dealing DJ connect to their mission? And speaking of drugs, this trip is beginning to be more than some Agents bargained on.

When everything feels alien, how do you even look for the Unnatural? R Cell has landed at the Playa, but this Thing in the Desert is a far cry from a base in Afghanistan or a hotel in Arizona. The best the Agents can do is try to blend in, grab a bite, and keep an eye out for trouble...though where R Cell goes, the last isn't usually far behind.

Research, check. Transport, check. Sparkle ponies…check? Being fully prepared is impossible, but each Agent of R Cell has done what they can on their own. Now only a few last stops stand between the team and the wild new world of the Playa.

The team is reassembled, but the mission specs are not. With a rare chance to prepare before heading out, R Cell going to pull on every thread they can find. They need every lead they can string together, especially before facing yet another desert. (Additional music by Allen Strickland: https://allenstrickland.net/)

Things have been quiet for a long time, long enough for the Agents of R Cell to relax a little. But the Unnatural does not remain silent forever. With a new team dynamic, and clues even more cryptic than usual, it's time to see where this strange new assignment might lead. (Additional music by Allen Strickland: https://allenstrickland.net/)

It's been a while since R Cell has come together...

Wearing TinFoil with Art & Lance No. 485 "Fingers, Mirrors, and Folding Space." Originally aired on KMLT. This episode is a special preview of "Wearing TinFoil," a spin-off podcast from the world of The Redacted Reports, available exclusively at www.theredactedreportspodcast.com

Nope. Absolutely not. When you started the day, you thought you had a chance to show the partners what an asset you are to the firm. You also thought those stupid owls were the endangered species. Instead, you’re spending the night locked in a haunted single-wide, where the plants tuck you in with tooth-filled baby dolls and fling pumpkins at you…what the hell kind of a sentence is that!? And even...

What…what the hell just happened!? You thought the weirdest part of the day was going to be the way Mr. Titus ate dinner, or maybe that book Wilbur was reading, but that thing…what the hell was that thing!? And how did it do that to your car!? Now the snow is falling harder, your car is in literal pieces, and your options seem to be hike to the creepy abandoned trailer park or go back to the Titus...

The folks up here are a lot more helpful than you expected, with the exception of Ms. Titus herself, although at least she seems to be hearing you out. Still, you’d rather not stick around here any longer than you have to. These roads, if you can call them that, are not meant for a Prius, and people might be friendly, but they’re definitely staring…and so is that pig out in the yard. Just like the...

When the Executive Vice President of the firm asks you specifically to deal with a problem, of course you jump at the chance to prove yourself to the partners. So, if that means you have to grab your work-BFF, drive four-and-a-half hours north of Sacramento into the rural backwoods of California, and try to convince some old lady to let a conservationist team investigate a threatened species that...

File 221002 - Special Agent Hodgson interviewing Leah Hunter about an unusual sighting and an experience involving loss of time and possible extranatural abduction which occurred while hiking outside of Golconda, NV. This episode is a special preview of "For the Record," a spin-off podcast from the world of The Redacted Reports, available exclusively at www.theredactedreportspodcast.com

Knowledge is power, and to some that makes it precious: something to be locked away from the prying eyes of the public. But now a book is overdue, not properly checked out, and the fines may be mounting. It turns out rogues are clever at getting past locks, and once a River is set in motion it’s very hard to stop the current…

A flash drive with millions of years’ worth of data. An unassuming public library guarded by a too-familiar invisible barrier. A dead man's son with information about The Library. Agent River has managed to tease out some answers, but has still ended up here: sitting across from a man with both Cyprus Security and Motion Inc. on his business card. What information does this Mikhail Klopper have to...

The guard with the switchblade is evidence that someone doesn’t want River in the Petaluma Public Library, and access to the knowledge within will pass more twists and turns. But our Theseus may already have the ball of yarn he needs to navigate this labyrinth of knowledge.

Closing a missing persons case is a win but it’s concerning that Javier can’t remember the details of his rescue. There’s a lot of red strings to pull between the Wingate-Peaslee’s information, the business card from Muir Wood, and Javier’s drive. But will River find answers or just more questions?

Some questions require answers even when there isn’t an official mission. So when Agent River receives a mysterious voicemail, he follows the trail to the office of Professor Nathaniel Wingate-Peaslee. And everything points to the Chroniclers and the brothers Castillo.

On September 21st, 2022, the members of R Cell and their shadowy Handler convened in a secret location to discuss the events and aftermath of Season 4, known as Operation Downpour.

The physical wounds may begin to close, but the emotional wounds stay fresh and raw much longer. Every Agent eventually has to ask: What happens when the body heals and the mind doesn’t? How much am I willing to sacrifice to complete the mission? Where do I finally draw the line? (Additional Music Used: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)

(CW: Ableism, PTSD, after effects of trauma) Just because the mission has ended doesn't mean the challenges are gone. Coming home always requires some adjustment, and this time might be the hardest it's ever been. New wounds and old scars alike run deep, and now the slow process of healing must begin.

(CW: Body horror, violence) Voices from the past now haunt the present, and if R Cell has any hope of completing the mission, they will also be forced to confront their own ghosts. Are they too late? Can anyone be saved now? Or will the power awakened in Kali Ghati bring black endings to all? Three Ravens is written by Ed Randazzo & Bret Alexander © 2009 ReservEd Music/Bretlee Music (ASCAP) ww...
