The REDACTED Reports

Welcome, Agent Rory, to Eareckson Air Station in Shemya, Alaska. Everyone here has been stricken with a mystery illness. Your mission is to discern its nature and stop the spread.

This week, we offer a special audio sneak peak at a Patreon exclusive. “Safety On,” is a novella written by Ben Cislowski, who plays Rooster. The written chapters will be available on a weekly basis on our Patreon, delving deeper into Rooster’s involvement with the Breckenridge Corporation after Operation Shrimp Farm.

This week’s special episode takes a look back at Rooster’s first mission with the Breckenridge Corporation that started in Interludes 1, explaining the animosity between R Cell’s hitter and the Boys from Brazil.

In our first [UNREDACTED] Report, the creative minds behind the show meet in the Quests & Chaos studio to talk all things Redacted. We discuss the origins of the show, our characters, the backstory of Shaver Lake, and answer listener questions. Put your red string and black sharpies away and come listen to our discussion before the suits pull it all down.

Operation Shrimp Farm has concluded and R Cell returns home. But the ripples from Yuma and Mustang continue to touch their lives as they struggle to find their footing in the real world that is becoming increasingly distant.

CW: Gunshots, explosions, references to extreme violence The town of Mustang is a war zone. With chants of “I’a Dagon I’a” ringing in their ears, R Cell must survive the slaughter if they hope to mount their rescue and escape alive from this orgy of bloodshed. The theater is waiting for them. And whatever happens, Operation Shrimp Farm ends here. Tracks Used: (https://soundcloud.com/myuu/msp-1fors...

CW: Gunshots With the invitation to meet Father set for tomorrow evening, R Cell reaches out to Lance Corporal Ortega and her squad for backup. But even the best laid plans don’t survive first contact with cultists, a lesson the team learns first hand as an unexpected phone call makes them rethink everything.

The mood is somber as R Cell prepares to pay their respects to Private Homer Ryan on the Marine base. Ryan’s father, recently arrived from Massachusetts for the occasion, is a wealth of information. The red strings are finally connecting, tying the events at the Abril House to Project Covenant and beyond. Tracks Used: Scent of Night (https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)

Exhausted from the team tension and overheated from the day in Mustang, R Cell reconvenes to discuss their next steps. But before they can create a plan of action, a series of texts from Quinn’s sister throws everything into disarray, and the Agents must struggle to balance completing the mission and protecting the ones who matter most.

The festivities for Father's Day are in full swing in Mustang as R Cell arrives. On the surface it may appear as nothing more than a quaint local celebration, but there is a dangerous undercurrent that threatens to drag the agents under. What dark secrets are hidden here? And why is Father’s Day being held 10 days too early? Tracks Used: (https://soundcloud.com/myuu/prey-reprise) and (https://soun...

R Cell was able to walk away from the Annex, but the next morning finds the agents rife with tension. What is this investigation costing them? While the mysteries of Mustang, Deep Ones, and Father remain, they must now confront their own worst enemy: each other.

The haunting song that keeps appearing echoes in R Cell’s ears as they enter the Medicine Annex yet again. They think they’re armed and prepared for any eventuality, but what they find within will jar them to their very cores.

Sobered by Albermarle Marsh’s passing, R Cell prepares their next move. The movie theater in Mustang is still their best lead if they can get there unseen. But no plan survives first contact with cultists, and speed bumps force R Cell to reassess the situation. They need a new plan. Because Father’s Day is coming.

The scene: a stationary store in Mustang Arizona. A tiny old man just referenced Rooster’s sister by name. Now the Marine veteran has drawn his sidearm. As tensions reach a breaking point, what will R Cell find out? Questions about the past and present converge, and all answers point toward a grim future.

While unsure what Rowan is “immune” to, the fact she has some sort of protection from the nightmares of her past is a much needed morale boost. With more information about Project Covenant and what they may be facing, R Cell continues tugging on the red strings that all somehow lead back to Mustang, Arizona.

The lights from the news crew are bright for someone with rose-colored glasses. R Cell is supposed to work in the shadows, but now they’re in the spotlight. There’s an info leak somewhere. A popular streaming service offers some clues, and the agents will have to follow every lead to find a path forward. (Additional music: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/scent-of-night)

R Cell reconvenes at the hotel to discuss their findings at the nursing home and the high school. One of the interviews caused repressed memories to painfully resurface. What else is waiting for the agents as they speak to other witnesses of the horrors wrought at the Medicine Annex?

R Cell’s investigation of the Abril house murders continues. Their contacts at the Marine Corps Air Station supply needed information as well as some surprising resources. But when Yuma PD informs them of new developments, R Cell quickly realizes just how Unnatural this case is.

Safe from the recent misadventure, R Cell returns to the hotel and takes time to dig for clues. The Medicine Annex and Project Covenant that “L Van Cleef” mentioned are juicy leads. But there are multiple layers to the truth, and some may want to stay buried.

As the dust settles, R Cell’s mission is single-minded: rescue their fallen companion. Darkness envelops them as they descend deeper into the bowels of the Annex. It is a darkness born of past secrets, present terrors, and future nightmares. (Extra music credit: https://soundcloud.com/myuu/prey-reprise)

Shaken by what they discovered in the Abril House, R Cell follows the trail of footprints into the desert. They point toward the town of Mustang and the abandoned Naval Medicine Annex. What they discover will have ramifications far greater than the horrific murder scene they just left.

CW: Mutilation and Implied Child Violence Assembled in Yuma, Arizona, R Cell (with their new member Quinn) begins the investigation. Their first stop is the Yuma Police Department where police and medical examiners agree that this is a particularly brutal case. But though R Cell can ready themselves for the ugliness of the Abril family’s murder, there’s no way they can know how deeply it will dist...

It’s been eight months since Operation Big Sky ended with an anti-tank rocket and a helicopter on Devils Tower. Now a new mission leads to Yuma, Arizona. A brutal murder scene has ritualistic overtones. Agent Rory is unavailable. The temperature is in the triple digits. But at least it’s a dry heat. Welcome back, R Cell. It’s time to start digging.

Rowan thinks she's found her feet in this strange underground interrogation facility. It won’t last for long.

Mission Big Sky is complete, so the agents of R Cell return to their normal lives and their real names. Rory continues an experiment, bringing his partner Andrew deeper into the world of the Unnatural. River learns how to shoot from Rooster and digs into his personal past.
