In this episode, we've got spy games spanning time and space, secret agents, rogue psychics, and an unknowable, incomprehensible entity that sits at the center of this fraying web. The tachyonic antitelephone is ringing; will you answer the call? Or perhaps the only winning move is not to play at all?...
PLUS: Changes! As noted in the intro, we're going to switch up the format for non-Patron prompts. We really appreciate your feedback, so please let us know what you think!

We really hope you enjoy exploring alternate histories because this week's episode is absolutely packed to the rafters with it! We explore history fracture points during the bronze age, the wild west-ish, and the 1940's. There's all sorts of implications in this one!
