Screaming Panda Presents “Reality” (Episode 26), the sixteenth chapter of Hell Gate City Season 2. Kevin Berrey wrote, performed, and directed it and created its original music and episode art. This chapter’s bonus tale is “Androgynous Friend” (Glitch in the Waitrix 26), available only here in the Inner Legion. Also, there's a second one! Glitch 26 B – Hypocognition.

The transcript is forthcoming and will be linked to in this description hopefully but as a backup check the free transcripts post on our Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/posts/transcripts-of-66692496. It sucks, but the odd way I'm writing these episodes means cobbling together handwritten texts, typed notes, and final edits and revisions that don't exist in a singular document and lining all of that up is for some reason hellishly fatiguing in my current state of unmedicated narcolepsy. Hang in there while I chip away at it and in the meantime see the auto-transcription of the public episode on Spotify and Apple if I'm taking too long.
