#### Eemians for a Converged Future - Radio Spot 1

Pavel: My name is Pavel. This message is on behalf of Eemians for a Converged Future. The high priestess will have you believe it is our duty to return to the old Eemia, to save those left behind. Let's say we fulfilled my sister's fantasy of returning home, and that somehow this Last Stop provides us safe transportation back into the arms of our people. I want to ask you one thing. Araceli still has no idea how to reverse Eemia's aimless winter, which means returning will multiply the amount of mouths to feed and people to keep warm, straining the likely dwindling resources on Eemia. We can't afford to think like children, though come to think of it, many of us are just that, aren't we? Children who have no connection to Eemia whatsoever, since they were born after the Convergence. Would we really ask them to give up the only home they've known, their relationships, their lives? Yes, their lives. Our children will live under harsher, more fatal condition than ever prepared to face. And all of this for a place they've only heard of in story? Ask yourself, will you really be saving anyone by going back, or would we put more Eemians in danger than ever before?

Gluff: You're listening to C Street Radio.

#### Tracking Error's Forgotten Four Podcast - Episode 1

Tracking Error: Hello, friends, foes and freak shows. I'm Tracking Error, and this is an uninterrupted stream of consciousness on topics I am not 100% sure I have the authority to be speaking on, AKA a podcast. On this podcast, I will be talking about my favorite subject, The Forgotten Four. Episodes will be released whenever I feel like it on my Techstream and C Street Radio. In this episode, we will be discussing two of my favorite members of The Forgotten Four, Darya Kane and Pam Rodriguez.

> Hello, Tracking Error from the future here. I'd just like the say that the original recording, I said Darya Kane and Pam Rodriguez were two of favorite members of The Forgotten Four, but I wanna be clear that I have no favorites. Each of these women hold a special and equal place in my heart. Now back to our program.
>
>

First up is Darya Kane. We all know her as the off the books QDOT scientist with the really cool hair, but is there more to her than meets the eye? Allegedly.

> Future TE here again. I'm saying allegedly, because though I believe these theories to be true, some of them I lack hard evidence for, so I'm covering all my bases here.
>
>

Allegedly, Darya Kane may have actually been a mermaid. It's a well-known fact that she spent much of her childhood swimming in the ocean in Isocond. Apparently, she had the ability to hold her breath under water longer than anyone else. But what really makes me believe that this is true, allegedly her hair. Just look at it. Those blue tendrils cascading down her back. That is mermaid hair. It just is.

Up next is Pam Rodriguez. Our lovely resident Denver bus driving astrophysicist. We're made to believe by the powers that be that Pam Rodriguez was simply in the right place at the right time during the moment of Convergence. Her split second decision to drive into the rift, and save herself and her passengers was simply an act of fight or flight. Wrong! We're supposed to believe that an astrophysicist just happened upon a rift in the multi-verse? Even a bad screenwriter couldn't make the inciting incident that coincidental.

Allegedly, Pam Rodriguez had long theorized that a rift would open in Sun Valley. What if she did more than that? What if she not only knew the Convergence was going to happen, but how to cause it to occur? And let's not forget her cat, Quesa, who allegedly has had more than nine lives.

That's all I have for today. Be sure to tune in on Techstream for more of my theories on The Forgotten Four. If you want to join me and the Trash Pals on our search for The Forgotten Four, tap on my posts and the recall board to any memory ATM. Gyre Eye!

#### Brace & Gluff in the Evening - Part 2

Brace: Hold on to your thoughts, 'cause that sound means it's time for the Psychic Weather Update. And for that, we go to Daise, our astral projecting weatherperson, who is high above C Street in a trance. Daise.

Daise: Good morning Brace. My physical body is next to you in the studio, but my consciousness is out in the atmosphere, watching out for new psychic storms converging on Convergence.

Gluff: Can you see me waving from the studio?

Daise: I can Gluff, thank you! But more than that, I can see several memory storm cells moving in off the coast of Eemia, where high density cultural memory is clashing with the low density ephemeral nostalgia in C Street.

Brace: Bring your memories inside tonight, ay? (chuckling)

Daise: I'll say. We're about to get walloped by a massive memory storm! Please check on your neighbors tonight, and remember: the shlemi-sholids at the corner store aren't worth risking every memory you have. Shelter indoors tonight.

Gluff: A memory storm. Delicious. Memories tossed to the winds. A feast for a Slime.

Brace: Thanks Daise. A little creepy, there Gluff.

Gluff: Delicious.

Brace: Now we turn our third eye to the C Street HoroLotto. Lawyer and Bookie La Madrina will announce today's horoscope and winners.

La Madrina: Thanks Brace. The signs are aligned for your Neon HoroLotto readings today. Remember: all futures are taken from the powerful neon signs on C street. Pick your lucky sign today. First, the ascending Frogbat sign signals both upwardly mobile aspirations while also exploring hidden depths. The wings carry the frog to the sky, while he retains his yearning for the watery deep. A creature of two worlds. Your prize numbers today are 3540.

Next, we have the Happy Tooth, frowning with sensitivity as he receives wisdom from the toothbrush, smiling with delight, when he realizes it was all for his own good. We function best when we see to both our spiritual and physical needs. Your prize numbers today are 1516.

Finally, rejoice introverts! Because the crab with hands is scuttling up the beach of your spirit with a diamond it pulled from the surf of the collective unconscious. Etched on its surface is your True Name, and your prize numbers, 2465.

Brace: Thanks, La Madrina! Remember, you can identify with any neon sign you please. Align with the cosmos based on who you are, not who your birthday says you are.

#### Tracking Error's Forgotten Four Podcast - Episode 2

Tracking Error: Hello, friends, foes and freak shows. I'm Tracking Error, and this is an uninterrupted stream of consciousness on topics I am not 100% sure I have the authority to be speaking on, AKA a podcast. On this podcast, I will be talking about my favorite subject, The Forgotten Four. Episodes will be released whenever I feel like it on my Tech Stream and C Street Radio.

In this episode, we will be discussing the other two members of The Forgotten Four, Panoa and Rune Zivai!

> Future TE here. My tone when I said the other two was callous. Panoa and Rune are literally everything to me. As are the other members of The Forgotten Four. I just want to make that clear.
>
>

Rune Zivai, the most suspicious member of The Forgotten Four. I don't mean that in a bad way. In fact, this intrigues me. What is she hiding? She has only one devotee in the Convergence, a librarian. I did a little snooping around in the library and found something I don't think very many people are aware of, the Tome of Forgetting. Well, I didn't have enough time to read through all of it. My content calendar is pretty packed these days. I think I got the gist.

The Tome of Forgetting is a book that prophesies the Convergence of Worlds. And not only that, Rune Zivai also unearthed a doomsday prophecy that said all memories in existence might one day be erased. Don't take my word for it. Read it for yourself in the library.

Now onto Panoa, the member of The Forgotten Four with the most stans. Panoa, allegedly had access to ancient Eemian songs. It's rumored that Panoa sang one of these songs to the Mechs. Eemians called them Navigators. Anyway, the Mech awoke, and Panoa's ancient song caused it to open a wormhole, right at the moment of Convergence, allegedly. So don't ever let anyone tell you that music doesn't have power. That's all I have for today. Be sure to tune in on Techstream for more of my theories on The Forgotten Four.

#### Brace & Gluff in the Evening - Part 3

Brace: Now it's time for an update from the only authority I trust, the Chore Wheel of Gyre Heights! Get your notepads ready neighbors, because here are your mutual aid assignments for the day.

Gluff: I have learned to understand, and relish in the suspense.

Brace: Okay, it looks like teams Blue, Green, and Turquoise will be taking care of the mnemonic vacuum duty today. Teams Red, Aquamarine and Ecry will be on trash detail. Watch out for those gremlins, kids. (Brace laughing) And-oof!-, team Navy is all on its own, fighting the fleas on level 900. Tough break, guys.

Gluff: Arm yourselves, For they are giant fleas.

Brace: So sayeth, the chore wheel!

(gong banging)

#### Eemians for a Converged Future - Radio Spot 2

Pavel: My name is Pavel. And this message is on behalf of Eemians for a Converged Future. I love my sister, High Priestess Araceli. Some of you have assumed otherwise, given the constant squabbling, the public condemnations of others' perspective. But it's because I love Araceli that I challenged her, that I fought with her. I love our high priestess as much as I've ever loved anyone. And when you love a person that much, you'll do anything to keep them in your world. Which is why I'm telling you all now. Her aims mean nothing less than our ruin. Araceli has put a trust in QDOT Superconductor General Oleander, a charlatan who has made an incredible promise without a shred of evidence. This promise to enable every one of us to return to our native home isn't some harmless fantasy. From what Oleander has described, he is flirting with forces that have claimed Eemian lives before. His description of this Last Stop seems congruent with the most dangerous part of deep space that our Navigators ever encountered.

The realm of Helia, a place so destructive, that our ancestors and all their power never returned from. We have to consider that The Last Stop is Helia by a different name. We have to consider that this is the place we've been warned about for generations. If you care for your loved ones, like I care for my sister, then you'll challenge their dangerous beliefs in The Last Stop. If you don't, we might lose the people we love forever.

#### Midnight After Dark with James Knox

James Knox: Tonight on Midnight After Dark. My interview with the Yawlp Affirmation Society, and a close encounter with Convergences most elusive cryptid, tonight on Midnight After Dark.

Radio Bumper

James Knox: So this monster, the Yawlp, it's harmless, right?

May: Harmless as a kitten, James.

James: Because I think one's outside the studio eating my garbage right now.

May: Oh, well get out there and try recording it!

(dog barking)

James: Okay. This thing's not going to eat my face off, is it?

May: Absolutely not! Yawlp's are docile, shy creatures. They have... unique body types and not much confidence. The Yawlp is probably much more embarrassed of itself than you're scared of it.

James: If you say so. Ugh...

(door opening)

I'm taking my field mic out now and...

(footsteps thudding)

(opens door)

Dear Gods, the smell!

(Yawlp panting)

Yawlp: (hissing) I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

(techno music)

James: My interview with the Yawlp Affirmation Society and a close encounter with Convergence's most elusive cryptid, tonight on Midnight After Dark.

#### Eemia Considered with Laken Green

Laken Green: Hello and welcome to Eemia Considered. I'm your host, Laken Green. This morning, I'm here with two well-known members of our community. Kaleidogoth High Priestess Araceli, and her brother, Pavel who serves as an Eemian ambassador to the broader communities of Convergence. Thank you both for joining us.

Araceli: We are so thankful-

Pavel: We're happy to be-

Laken Green: (chuckles) Not all at once. Araceli, From what I understand, some Kaleidogothic leaders aren't fond of the integration of cultures that Convergence is so well known for.

Araceli: That is a common misconception, but as High Priestess, it is my job to preserve our valuable culture, not to exclude others from it.

Laken: Pavel, as an Eemian ambassador, what differentiates your position from your sisters?

Pavel: I believe the true nature of Kaleidogothic practices, and Eemia as a whole, is that of learning, growing, and evolving. While preserving the culture may be an important part of the old Eemian way, I think the future of our people and Convergence is about sharing our knowledge and building anew.

Araceli: Our mother, taught us the importance of all the tenants of our culture. She was a Kaleidogoth teacher. It was her proud duty to instill all the traditions of Eemia into her children, old and new.

Laken: Your mother Panoa, she's one of The Forgotten Four, correct?

Araceli: Yes, we lost her in the Convergence.

Pavel: And we search for her every day.

Araceli: My brother and I feel like it is our duty to carry out her legacy by protecting Eemians, and Eemian culture while we're here, until we can safely return to our home planet, via Oleander's Last stop, which is so critical now because the Memory Storms are increasing.

Pavel: Well, to be clear-

Araceli: Especially with the rising tide of the Memory Storms.

Laken: I see. You were saying Pavel.

Pavel: No, it's nothing.

Araceli: No, please brother, do continue.

Pavel: I don't believe that carrying out our mother's legacy necessarily means going back to Eemia. We've been here for almost three decades. A new generation of Eemians have grown up here without ever having seen Eemia. Our home is here now, in Convergence.

Laken: That's a compelling position. Pavel, how do you-

Araceli: This will never be our home! This place is the reason we lost our home. The reason we lost our mother. Eemia is where we belong.

Pavel: Well, I belong here. In a world where I can move around, independently. Convergence has a lot more to offer all of us than the impending doom of an ice age.

Araceli: Pavel, I would make sure you were free to do whatever you wanted. I would take care of you.

Pavel: I don't want you to take care of me. I want to take care of myself, and I can do that here. We all can.

Laken: You are both so passionate about the state of our community, and that's why-

Araceli: If we stay here any longer with the Memory Storms, we'll forget who we are. We'll forget our mother.

Pavel: I haven't forgotten her. I still search for her every day.

Laken: Well, thank you for joining us. High priestess, Pavel, listeners. Eemia Considered, we'll be right back after these messages.

Gluff: You're listening to C Street Radio.

#### Tracking Error's Forgotten Four Podcast - Episode 3

Hello, friends, foes and freak shows. I'm Tracking Error. And this is an uninterrupted stream of consciousness on topics I am not 100% sure I have the authority to be speaking on, AKA a podcast. On this podcast, I will be talking about my favorite subject, The Forgotten Four. Episodes will be released whenever I feel like it on my Tech Stream and C Street Radio. In this episode, I have a very special guest, my brilliant neighbor, Cecil Baca. Welcome to the pod, Cecil.

Cecil: Thank you, Tracking Error.

TE: Today, Cecil and I will read one special listener letter. Before we get into that Cecil, what is your connection to The Forgotten Four?

Cecil: Well, it's a little complicated. Do you mind if I recite a poem I wrote about The Forgotten Four?

TE: Go for it!

Cecil: It's easier for me to express myself this way. (clears throat)

(classical piano music)

> I can remember the time before. Barely.
>
>
> It comes in waves like the tides of Isocond.
>
>
> And then there was chaos.
>
>
> And then loose ties, I hope soon to forget.
>
>
> What is the joy of connection feel like, even if you are unaware of the connection?
>
>
> Even if the only thing holding you together are the tendrils of the unknown.
>
>
> You have someone else.
>
>
>
> The loneliness of life is not yours alone.
>
>

TE: Okay. Thank you for that lovely poem, Cecil.

> Future TE here. I don't really know what that poem was about, but I thought it'd be rude to ask. I think that's the whole point of poetry, to be confused. Anyway, back to the podcast.
>
>

Now time for a listener letter. Anonymous asks, "Tracking Error, "how can I get more involved in the search for The Forgotten Four?" Brilliant question anonymous. Well, first I would say, just keep following me on Techstream.

Cecil: Be careful.

TE: What was that, Cecil?

Cecil: Curiosity is a virtue, but it can be dangerous.

TE: Is that a line from a new poem?

Cecil: No.

TE: Okay. Well, anonymous I'd say keep following me on Techstream, and be sure to get involved by hitting me up on the recall boards. There's also lots of info in the library. That's a good place to start, too. Well, we've come to the end of this episode. Thank you Cecil for joining us today.

Cecil: Thank you, Tracking Error.

TE: And remember if you want to join me, and the Trash Pals in our search for The Forgotten Four, tap on my posts on the recall boards at any memory ATM. Gyre Eye!
