Will they be able to stop Wilhelm? And will they finally be able to rest after this arduous (but lucrative) mission?

Episode 61 - It Was Panda-monium

Wilhelm is dead at the Phoenix Pham's feet, but somehow things don't feel finished. Our heroes are victorious and are preparing to reap the rewards of their labors, but there are so many open questions. With Wilhelm's ambitions, why would he take his own life? Who was this bigger threat he was talking about? And what happened to Picledes?

Episode 62 - Alix Spills His Guts and Also His Secrets

Well that was one bad dream that Alix would like to forget, but unfortunately for him it was one he shared with his fellow Phoenix crew mates. How will Micah react to this revelation?

Episode 63 - Red Wine for Redd

Nursing the wounds opened by an impromptu dream walk and prophecy, our heroes meet to investigate the throne room of Wilhelm Restikov and discuss next steps. Who was controlling Wilhelm Restikov?

Episode 66 - Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire

A shot rings out and Dr. Lucius Leggett falls to the ground. Our heroes must spring into action before they are next. Where did that shot come from? Is Deacon here? What does he want? It doesn't matter. All that matters is getting inside this door and out of immediate danger, but what do those markings on the wall mean? And why do I get the unsettling feeling that I'm being watched? Oh no. Perhaps death by Deacon was the better option...

Episode 67 - Abra Abracadabra, I Want to Reach Out and Grab Ya

The Phoenix Pham has found themselves out of the frying pan and into the fire, having walked into the obsidian hall's of Terra's madness (too much?) in order to find cover from the scope of Deacon's rifle. Upon entering the "Blood Room"^TM, our heroes are accosted by 4 mechanical arms -- likely the same ones that have caught wild animals for Terra's mind control experiments.

Episode 73 - A Choice, a Thing? A Fork in the Road

Well it's about time the Phoenix Pham hits the ole dusty trail. Phistos has been fun (and emotionally scarring), but it's time to head on to Dimos. Just a last few loose ends to tie: making Lasagna, getting Dr. Leggett out of his contract, booty calling Volker just one last time. Certainly no time to discuss that prophecy. Nope. They all seem to say "this thing will happen, or it won't. Or maybe a third option? (that's the right one)".

Episode 74 - The Phoenix Tales Volume 2

The Phoenix Pham is traveling to Dimos to seek out Drikt, the creator of Terra and friend of Dr. Samantha Calvin. But there are two days of travel between Phistos and Dimos, so what are our intrepid heroes going to get up to?

Welcome to Volume 2 of the Phoenix Tales!

Episode 75 - I Dreamed a Dream (of Chris Rock Angel)

The Phoenix Pham find themselves in a situation that is both familiar and strange. Once again they have been pulled into the dreamscape of Claire as she sleeps, but we have a new visitor -- the Shibboleth that appears as a granite angel. We all know him as Chris. Chris seems to have some not so great plans for Claire, and our heroes have something to say about that. What does Chris hope to achieve by invading Claire's mind? How will our heroes stop him? And against a creature we know can charm people, are you sure it's a good idea to turn into a Gundam?

Episode 76 - I Guess We Have to Save Tony

Our heroes have finally arrived at Dimos hoping to talk to (and maybe confront) Drikt. They find themselves greeted with a less than welcoming crew. There is an unease in the air, and the Torq in charge, Ruby Flux, asks the Phoenix Pham to come with him. What has happened in Gemena? Are our heroes going to be able to meet Drikt? And why is the Laughing Devil in the starport?

Episode 77 - I’m Sorry, My Responses Are Limited

Strange things are afoot at Drikt's Workshop, and our heroes find themselves in a predicament. Do they save Tony by trying to solve this murder? Or just let him die and keep his sweet Wakizashi? No, you're right they should save him. While investigating Drikt's abode, Micah comes across a hologram of Drikt. What knowledge does it hold? Why did Drikt make it? And Is it aware how it's creator died and why they started to crystallize early?...That detective, is the right question.
