Freya Benton, Rhett Bordeaux, Sampson Campbell, and Jack Kincaid speed away from the gulag they just escaped, with the Cartel hot on their tail.

But their arrival is complicated by a high-stakes surveillance situation that will prove very delicate in the untangling.

But there's still a chance of finding the help they need at DATCON, if they play their cards right. The convention is a hive of digital scum and villainy, and just the place to find the kind of hired gun they require.

Kiera, Mitch, and Pierce are put through a crash course in operational training by Jack, who's less than impressed by their capabilities as a cell. At the compound of the Coyote Ramblers motorcycle club, our operatives hone their skills, discover new abilities, and prepare to run a deadly errand for the gang.

As a thank you to everyone who left iTunes reviews, followed us on Twitter, and helped to solve the ARG, I now present to you the "Cleanup" saga in its entirety (though split into multiple episodes for upload, it's long you guys). Cleanup chronicles an important event in ORPHEUS's recent past, and honestly, it'd be unkind to say much more than that.

In the Fall of 1893, on the periphery of London's respectable society, a party is being thrown for the fringes of the occult community. Spiritualists, astrologers, alchemists, and assorted n'er-do-wells are gathering at the estate of Marlon Sinclair for both séance and socialization. Among the guests is Freya Benton, a world traveler of Egyptian extraction who's seen both the highs and lows of life on two continents, and Granville Moore, a retired soldier with a very peculiar instrument case in tow. The evening's festivities get well and truly out of hand, as a Hermetic text written by someone named "Henry Colfax" is used for a bit of harmless fun... and brings forth something none could have imagined.
