About this episode

In this episode, Adam and Amy navigate their differences while reflecting on the past in an empty hotel before a significant event.

Episode 14. June, 2025. The night before Athena’s flagship fusion energy reactor was set to go online, Adam and Amy found themselves the only guests at an eerily empty Boston hotel. Over the course of the night, the two of them butted heads, tried to work together on a tricky piece of archeological translation, reflected on everything that’s happened in the past five years, and found an unexpected bit of common ground between them.  Be advised: this episode contains strong language, discussions of politics, and depictions of drinking and vomiting.
