COSMIKO: Neon Night

[I2DCB - 24-07-2145 | 23:15 LT] Dreamt about him last night. Jackie. He was coughing on TV… and Mama never let me watch the games. But I could see a corner of the screen from behind the door. I was eight years old again. My head’s spinning. I’m starting to hurt again. Bad. Probably a bad time to mention I ran out of factor shots. Since I’m not getting paid, I’m basically a girl made of glass. Everyone wants to take a swing at me. And if that’s how it is… I still gotta try. Ironbird Stadium’s shaping up to be a suicide run if I don’t keep my head down. [If I Don’t Come Back: Don’t worry about me. You can have the cerveza in my apartment. Just don’t touch my locker in Cage #14. That stays there.] COSMIKO: Neon Night is a neonpunk/cyberpunk audio fiction program straight from the underground. Dive into a cyberpunk future stitched together with neon lights, shotgun miracles, and dreamers too stubborn to quit. Bright lights. Dirt under the nails. No one lives forever. Etch your name in the steel before it's over. This season contains material unsuitable for younger listeners, including strong language, violence, and suggestive themes. Listener discretion is strongly advised.CREDITS:Sofia Jimenez as MariaJohn Smith as MarcanoKate Southgate as Eisley Anwar/EV-5Emily Lee as Tahlia WuIrina B. as Sable VolkovaDan Liwei as Zheyuan ChenCandace Briggs as Wilma Russo/RachelAdam Wainwright as AldegheriWill Turner as Wrench Additional Voices:Stephanie Chen, Leo Palmeri, Zach Mendelson, Josh Birmingham, Arun Said, and Mi Padrino.

[I2DCB - 24-07-2145 | 19:14 LT] Luna Mare Cognitum. City of dreamers and achievers, yeah? I used to call this slice of steel home. We all make mistakes. Even a punk like me. Oh, for any squares reading this, an I2DCB is a thing we do around here. “If I Don’t Come Back.” Basically, a last will and a middle finger to whoever’s listening. I’ve got it on auto-send to Zheyuan. So if you’re reading this, I guess I died on the way to the Municipal Building. What a freakin’ way to go. Flatlined on her way to a job interview. Imagine that instead of a bomb going off. Got the nerves bad, man. It’s jittery. Is this how normal people feel about work? All the suits out there, they don’t get like this… do they? Eh, screw it. Shake it off. I’m just a little smooth talk away from getting that Bounty Hunting License. Then the first thing I’m doing is paying for that premium water ration package. Bye-bye warm beer. There’s only one place to go from rock bottom. Up. Always up. [If I Don’t Come Back: Roast the hell out of me for dying like a wimp. :P] COSMIKO: Neon Night is a neonpunk/cyberpunk audio fiction program straight from the underground.

// ENTRY ID: TW-00944.f // // I’ll admit it. I misjudged a few things. Makarios, for one. Turns out he’s exactly as blunt and predictable as they say. Firing on Dr. Carter? Pathetically transparent. That freak doesn’t look before he leaps. // But now I see it. That rift between us? Maybe it’s always been there. Maybe I’m just finally brave enough to look it in the eyes. What to do... What to do... I wonder if my badge still works in the evidence quarters. I’ll give you a hint. Remember that junkie in Fortuna a few months back? The one who thought he was a secret soldier?

Good Evening, Paradisum. Iced with a nerve-killer, a lone Sentinel’s got seven hours before his body shuts down. Someone wants him dead, and the city’s on the verge of falling under something far worse. Every player’s rotten, but he’s the last one standing who gives a damn. Can he stop it in time? The clock’s ticking. And everyone’s running out. What You Can Expect: // Corrupted Hearts: Everyone’s got a past, but some think they’re untouchable. // Familiar Faces: Now they’re older, sharper, and twice as dangerous. // Immersive Sound Design: The bass and buzz of a city on the brink of collapse is yours to enjoy. // Silicon-based Carnage: Bloody, close, and personal. Don’t act like you don’t like it. Kick back and enjoy the glitched-out chaos of COSMIKO: Neon Night Season 02. Eight new episodes. Releasing every Friday.
