Episode Notes SYNOPSIS Adrienne does her best to keep everyone safe with the resources to hand, playing cat and mouse with the possessed. Meanwhile Ben, Kathy, Celia and others make an attempt to break out with the hopes of heading to the second site for answers. CONTENT WARNINGS Loss of Bodily Autonomy - Much of the episode involves discussion of people who do not have control of their bodies and who are being forced to hunt and capture others. In two specific scenes those characters are present. The first involves several characters involved in a plan to evade and escape those without control of themselves. In a second scene a person who does not have control of their body discusses what it is doing to them.

Episode Notes It's been two years since we last released an episode, so for those who want to refresh their memory but don't have time to go back through the previous Season 2 episodes, here's a recap to get you up to speed before the story continues next week. CONTENT WARNINGS Discussion of loss of bodily autonomy Use of less lethal munitions and weapons Discussion of cannibalism

AtSaB is coming back! It's been a long time. A very long time, but we're proud to announce that Among the Stars and Bones will return to complete Season 2 after a very extended hiatus. New episodes will begin October 7. ANNOUNCEMENT TRANSCRIPT [First strains of the Season 2 Theme Music begin playing] Hello there listeners. It’s been a while. I’m sure many of you thought there’d be nothing new released on the Among the Stars and Bones feed ever again. And fair enough. After I had to take a break in the middle of Season 2 a couple of years ago things got bad. And then they stayed that way for quite some time. But not once did I ever abandon this story which has always been near and dear to my heart. It’s been a slow and often interrupted journey back to the light. But now we’re here. Starting in two weeks, on Wednesday October 7, the second half of Season 2 begins, releasing fortnightly until its conclusion. That’s five more episodes and a half hour epilogue coming your way over the next few months so you can finally learn the fate of Adrienne, Ben, Kathy, Celia and the rest of their team and whether or not they’re able to save the Nabonidus group they came to rescue. I hope you’re as excited to hear the rest of this chapter of the story as I am, because honestly the rest of the season only gets bigger and more ambitious from here. I hope a couple of weeks notice gives you a chance to listen back to some previous episodes to get you ready for what’s to come. I’d recommend going back at least three episodes, but you know, you do you. Of course if you’re sitting there listening to me and thinking life’s too short and my podcast queue too long, Next week I’m going to release a bit of a rundown of some of the main events from the season so far that should help. Til then, dear listeners I hope to see you out there Among the Stars and Bones. [Season 2 Theme Music kicks into high gear and plays until fade.]
