Episode 20 – The B-Team

Posted on by artemis.ronan in Episodes

ISO winces in pain as he hobbles along the sidewalk. 
He’s only a half-step behind Reed, but still – only barely able to keep up.

As he walks, he feels his freshly-mended bones and tissue straining against the tight bandages. A sharp stabbing hits him suddenly in the side, and he stumbles slightly, trying to mask his reaction to the pain.

Reed glares sharply at him, and ISO returns the glance with a sheepish grin.

As Reed turns his scowl forward again, ISO stretches a bit, testing the limits of his movement – and he wonders whether or not he can last a full day as a Corpo Bodyguard.

This is Episode 20 – The B-Team

Producer’s note: Thanks for sticking with us through 20 episodes! You’ve spread the word about the Oasis, and we appreciate your efforts – stay tuned after the episode for a special word from the Oasis Advertising Network!

Episode 19 – Street-level P.Lexiglass Reflections

Posted on by artemis.ronan in Episodes

Sedoy blinks wearily at the outline of the Nomad standing in her doorway. Reed, glowering impatiently, stares at her as she rummages through the pile of electronics and schematics scattered about her living room table.

Underneath a pile of synthetic insulation, she finds what she’s looking for – an AirHypo, with ‘Boost XL’ printed on the side.

She examines the airhypo, and shakes it a bit.

Empty.

Her back to Reed, she sighs.
With Herculean amounts of effort, she puts on a friendly, polite smile and turns back to Reed:
“Do… you have any Boost?”

Episode 18 – Rude Awakening

Posted on by artemis.ronan in Episodes

Mavis shuts the door to her apartment quietly, so as not to disturb ISO as he slips into a medically-induced hallucinogenic fog.

She walks down the stairs, grumbling about the price of medical supplies and cursing that stupid media and his stupid motorcycle. At the bottom of the stairs, she stops for a moment and glances up in the direction of her temporary apartment.

She stares off into the distance for a few seconds, calculating something, and then chuckles to herself and steps out into the cool evening air of the Oasis.

A nice, strong psychadelic trip is exactly what ISO needs right now. And that is her professional medical opinion.

This is Episode 18 – Rude Awakening.

Neon Nights in the Oasis 2 – Deconstruction

Posted on by artemis.ronan in Bonus Episodes, Episodes, Uncategorized

Dennis Thurgood, Oasis Citizen of the Year, looks on admiringly as his boss Dexter, and his good friend Sputnik, exchange the former’s credit chips for the latter’s ‘goods and services’. In this particular case the ‘good’ being exchanged is a freshly decapitated head, and the ‘service’ Sputnik is providing could, technically, be classified as Private Security..?

After the money has been exchanged, and the head tossed into the limousine’s built-in swimming pool, Dennis notices several spots of blood on his bosses’ vehicle. He uses the hem of his shirt to wipe it up, when he notices sudden movement in on the sheer reflective coat of this extra-stretch limousine…

Neon Nights in the Oasis: Episode One

Posted on by artemis.ronan in Bonus Episodes

You collapse into your bunk, exhausted after the long day’s work, and begin and scrolling through your agent, looking for some new flashy content to take your mind off the day – when suddenly you stumble upon something that catches your eye. It’s a retro ‘2D film’, recommended to you by your agent, called ‘Neon Nights in the Oasis‘.

From the looks of it, it’s some old Callum Industries propaganda film… Claims it’s the ‘True Story’ about some guy named Dennis, and how he ‘Saved the Oasis’.

You roll your eyes, load the video, and settle back into your bunk. These old corpo propaganda films are usually worth a watch… If just for the production value alone.

The title slams into the screen of your agent, startling you a bit:

“This is…

Neon Nights… In the Oasis”
