Dive into a cyberpunk future stitched together with neon lights, shotgun miracles, and dreamers too stubborn to quit. Bright lights. Dirt under the nails. No one lives forever. Etch your name in the steel before it’s over. This season contains material unsuitable for younger listeners, including strong language, violence against humans and robots, and suggestive themes. Additionally, this season touches on sensitive topics including allusions to intimate partner abuse, drug use, thoughts of suicide, and withdrawal. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

// ENTRY ID: TW-00944.g // // Look outside, Cyrus. Chaos on the streets, smoke in the vents. They’ll call it collapse. I’ll look back on this night and call it... an awakening. I’m alive again. // Let the soft ones weep. Here and now, the future ripping off its mask. Come and see. I’ve never looked better. // ENTRY END // COSMIKO: Neon Night is a neonpunk audio fiction program straight from the underground.

// ENTRY ID: TW-00944.f // // I’ll admit it. I misjudged a few things. Makarios, for one. Turns out he’s exactly as blunt and predictable as they say. Firing on Dr. Carter? Pathetically transparent. That freak doesn’t look before he leaps. // But now I see it. That rift between us? Maybe it’s always been there. Maybe I’m just finally brave enough to look it in the eyes. What to do... What to do... I wonder if my badge still works in the evidence quarters. I’ll give you a hint. Remember that junkie in Fortuna a few months back? The one who thought he was a secret soldier? Slice, slice. // ENTRY END // COSMIKO: Neon Night is a neonpunk audio fiction program straight from the underground.

// ENTRY ID: TW-00944.e // // Your friend Eisley’s growing on me. She has the cutest freckles. That lean little frame. Those fishnets under her shorts too? Oh, it’s a bold look. Distinct. Memorable. That’s how we’ll ID her body. // And then it’ll be you. If I can’t find you, I’ll make sure you find me. And with a fireside chat, I know how to do it. // ENTRY END // COSMIKO: Neon Night is a neonpunk audio fiction program straight from the underground.

// ENTRY ID: TW-00944.d // // Hiding now? What do we call that again? Oh, that’s right... Cornered. A sentinel and a hophead, holed up in a furniture store. Sounds like the start of a joke. Guess that makes me the punchline. // Makarios says no guns. That’s fine. I’ve got plans tucked inside other plans, and not even he knows what I have in store. You think Paradisum is just chrome and neon? It’s not. It’s a battlefield. I’ll prove it to you, bone by bone. // ENTRY END // COSMIKO: Neon Night contains material unsuitable for younger listeners, including strong language, violence against humans and robots, and suggestive themes.
