The Room Where It Happened

Twitter: https://twitter.com/roomwherepod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roomwherepod/ Website: https://roomwherepod.com/ Patreon: https://roomwherepod.cash / When I was arrested, I lost something very important to me. For the longest time, I thought the city guard had it and that it was rotting away somewhere in an evidence locker. Now, I come to find out that you three stole it from me. I...

I believe you. I can see it in your eyes. It’s the same look I see in my own. The knowledge of what’s coming and the strength of will to try and stop it. I have more resources than ever before...

Our new players are almost ready. They just need a few more things, and they will be prepared to finish this. We have issues with our older pawns, though. Seems like they think there is a way out. That’...

I am very familiar with the horror that lurks in the darkness, Mr. Slayton. I was content to run from it once again, but now, given what happened with my son and his friends, it does not seem like running is an option anymore. I will not go quietly, and while others might dismiss your… vision, I appreciate the intent. You need more, though. You’re talented, but your vision is too small. That is no...

Hello. My name is Stanton Slayton. Though, I imagine that if you brought me here, you already know that. You’ve read about me in the papers, I’m sure. About the brilliant engineer who was driven to the edge by his work and became a monster. You see it now, though. The darkness falling on this world. Other planes spilling into ours. The city tearing at the seams. That pressure in the back of your h...

Look, I’m just gonna come out and say it. Otto’s lost their vision. The people who pull the strings are at their weakest, and we’re what? Being errand runners for a soup kitchen? I mean, it’s not like these people don���t need help, but we’re, at best, acting as a bandage. At worst, we’re hurting these people further by not seizing the reigns. If this was Otto a year ago, we would be running the c...

You couldn’t protect him forever, Elizabet. Like I said, he was bound to put it together. I know you had a soft spot for him. What? You think I didn’t see you pulling punches with him and his friends? I know it’s not the first time. Little moments when your better self comes up for air. With those new Keeper recruits, what, forty years ago? More recently with that whole apartment complex thing you...

I’m torn, Dawn Father. I didn’t know my connection to Tessa would be like this. Her feelings are bleeding over onto my mine. It’s almost like I never died. I keep thinking back to before. Before the world started falling apart. Before we all had to give up so much of ourselves. Before Ioun... Well, just before the war in general. I know that bad things are coming, but I can’t help but want her to...

The scene fades in. Ai, Otto, and Wyatt all stand in front of the interns and those that had been rescued. They have just been informed that the team did not come back with those rescued, and you can see the information washing over the trio in their faces. “What do you mean they ain’t coming back?” Ai’s eyes bore into Enna. “Y’all just left them there?” Her expression quickly softens, turning to...

I had a long talk with Newton yesterday. He and I framed it like a visit to the storage facility. It’s pretty much the only place we can get away from her and Lincoln. I wanted to see if he felt the same way I did. Newton and I usually can see the same writing on the wall. She’s getting desperate and sloppy. She’s narrowing her focus and losing sight of the big picture. I’ve told her before, these...

All available units, I repeat, all available units, disturbance reported at the indeliophan. Multiple casualties reported. Students being evacuated. We have reports that Tessa Blackmoore is on the scene. Proceed with caution. Unknown number casualties at scene, conflict still in progress. I repeat, proceed with caution. Establish a perimeter and mobilize all available automated security units. Sta...

R&D Memo to Glittering Oath Board of Directors. Highly confidential. Burn after reading. Our efforts to continue reverse engineering the main sample have been less than fruitful. While our initial results were promising, we cannot crack the secret behind this independence displayed in the sample. Our newest line can perform more detailed tasks, but still require both supervision and a handler...

Observation notes on the Glittering Oath Automatons by Wyatt Vancroft. It feels so weird to see these things walking around. They’ve overbuilt the frame, which makes sense because their new use. It also seems they aren’t as independent as I was planning on making them. They always seems to have a handler not too far away. I wonder if that is by design, or if they hit the same hurdles I did? They m...

I can't say that I will miss having this boy in my service but it does put me out a bit of a disadvantage. I now can only observe what is on my side of this tear. It seems like a wound that pierces through every plane of existence in this reality and I know that those elves brought the implement that made the cut but I am beginning to think they are not the virus that caused the infection. It's so...

Heard you’re on prisoner transport next week. That’s a weird shift. You done it before? I’ve been on it a few times. They don’t tell you the spot until you get to the depot, and if you have to take them to campus, that’s a whole other can of worms. You only ever make it to the gate. Then, they come and trade transports with you. Don’t talk to the prisoners, either. That priest, the demon one, he’s...

This needs to be perfect, people, so we’re reviewing again. I don’t want to hear it. Okay, so we do this hard and we do it fast and we do it clean. June needs this to be perfect, and if we’re made, we’re coming home, you got that? So no faces, no names, no talking. It needs to look like a hit; that we’re there for both of them. I know some of you have personal feelings about this. I’m not a huge f...

You can find the wonderful people of Follow the Leader at https://twitter.com/ftlcast Hello, this is Principal Slayton. It has come to my attention that there are some bad actors in the student body harassing students, teachers and our security staff. I want it to be known that this will not be stood for. Hamilton High is a safe, and calm environment and anything that disrupts that will be dealt w...

You can find the wonderful people of Follow the Leader at https://twitter.com/ftlcast Ok, ok. I'm calling the meeting of the prom planning committee to order. Now, I know we are still settling on a theme. No, Ishii, we aren't doing that weird fantasy, detective thing. It's too complicated and no one understands it. OK, so what else do we have? Poseidon's Paradise. What? No, why would we do under t...

Ever since you were shunted here, I have not been what I was. No, you are something I need to pull out by the root. I am going to your reality and brining mine with me. I will pull my lord, my god who sleeps and dreams of the infinite, there. It awakes. It will sunder your reality and bring about nothing and everything. It will spill out like a wave into every plane of existence, and I will once a...

The remembered feeling of the sword entering her chest shocked her awake. Looking hard at her hand forced the static away from the outline of her form. How long had she been here? Weeks and days, moments and millinea all seemed to occupy the same space here. It was an existence that she could hardly comprehend and one she fought against. At the edges of the space she had carved out for herself, sh...

It’s good to see that we are starting to get bleed over. I hope the others coming from home don’t find the restrictions of this place to egregious. Little by little, we are tipping the scale to a point she can’t compensate. The nexus keeps feeding chaos into the rift, and she is grasping at straws to try and hold it closed. I keep thinking, Elizabet, how wonderful it will feel to shake off the res...

It looks like Stanton’s experiments were more successful than we thought. He didn’t just make monsters, though, and it seems that Zero is playing nice with the others. Though, I have to admit, her closeness with Blackmoor is concerning, and I still think we need to get rid of her. I know you like to dangle her in the Mother’s face, but frankly, she seems like more trouble than she’s worth. Zero, t...

A coded memo from the desk of Newton Zemke, Public Relations for The Keepers of the Veil: Benjamin, I understand your frustrations, and in many cases, share them. But your orders are your orders. I don’t see anyone with a better sense of presence, and I need you in the quarantine zone. You are our face, right now, and we need people to know we are working to return their lives to normal. We’ve don...

I know you don’t agree Elizbet, but this has to happen. With what will be coming through, this is our best chance to see what he’ll do. Here we can control the circumstances, like any good experiment. We need to know what our boy will do when he comes face to face with the truth. This will be small. Something we can handle if he decides he’s no longer liking the deal. It will be on you to convince...
