Talking Trek Live – September 11, 2025

UltimatDJz and the crew break down the September arc’s targeted progression, the Hyperthermic Stabilizer/decay loop, refinery changes at 51+, and G6 hostile realities—plus a very real “Dad, don’t be mad” Chevy Equinox saga. Packed with teaching from Jules Verne, live chat energy, and practical grind strategies.
