About this episode

The episode follows robots and their human companion as they navigate a crime scene and personal dilemmas.

What's in The Rift is a Cortex Prime Actual Play. Season 2 follows three hapless robots (ChroniCarl, PsychoBot 2000, and Helpis) plus their one human companion (Donny Fink) as they are dragged unwillingly into a murder mystery that may have far-reaching political ramifications. Of course, they can't be bothered with that unless dragged kicking and screaming by their GM back into the story. Episode 6 - It Goes Bzz Bzz Our four courageous heroes return to the scene of a crime. Helpis does a bit that gets everyone threatened with jail. After narrowly escaping via attrition, they decide to handle PB's rapidly deteriorating battery situation. A small crowd of gawkers assemble to make life difficult for Helpis, and Donny gets to play peacemaker just for ChroniCarl to make it worse. Also, BEANBAGS!
