Team tentacle set out to the local Stellar car dealership to acquire themselves a vehicle and maybe find some ways to make a quick buck - it's one heist after another for Nox (Pan), Frankie (Valery) and Bludgeon (KO) but this time they have Juli (Rev) along for the ride, so surely nothing will go wrong!

We return to the remaining team hanging out at the ARC Lead Bank after their successful heisting of abused gambling machines from Mega Sports Bar. Frankie, played by Valery, Nox, played by Pan, and Bludgeon, played by KO are joined by Juli, played by Rev, as they collect themselves and make plans for their next moves, which apparently involve everyone gaining tentacles and stealing cars!
The gym-bro/builder gang lay claim to the now abandoned penthouse in Samsara's media centre, overlooking the skyline of Paradigm City. How do Zapp (Morgan), Subject5 (Vickey), Se-an (Aidan), Constant (Jeph) and Smart (Chris) decide to fill this empty shell? Where do they go next and what do they do? And how can they keep themselves quiet enough to not be noticed by the ever-looming threat of Amazing Corps?
Smart (Chris) and Se-an (Aidan) accompany Cal with Zapp (Morgan), Subject5 (Vickey) and Constant (Jeph) along for the ride to a major construction project in the heart of Paradigm City. Some head inside while others explore what fun can be had with heavy machinery and what dangers can come from intrusive thoughts while in a gigantic crane...

We circle back around to Smart Coolman (Chris) and Se-an (Aidan) with their new friend, Cal at the big mega-gym, as Zapp (Morgan), Subject5 (Vickey) and Constant (Jeph) find their way to meet them. New plans start formulating and new jobs compete for the team's destinies and we'll see how they all end up...

We round out the season 2 intro arc for the gang of Cookie (Keith), Sir Ingram (Mark) and Toby (Dee) slip into the side entrance of the big circus tent and start mooching around looking for Amelia but may have bitten off more than they can chew...

Toby (Dee) , Sir Ingram (Mark) and Cookie (Keith) have lost Amelia somewhere over the edge of the infinite traffic-jam. Can they follow in her footsteps? And what lovely new friends will they make along the way...?

It's been a while since we did a solo episode but Amelia, played by Cassa, fell asleep in the back of the stolen car last time while the others went off exploring a gigantic traffic jam! So now we find out what happened to her...
No special guest voiceovers this week but that'll make sense when you listen ;)
The escape crew of Sir Ingram (Mark), Toby (Dee) , Amelia (Cassa) and Cookie (Keith) charge on out towards freedom from their decidedly odd job straight into the city's worst traffic spot! Amelia dozes off after her somewhat taxing experiences this past 24 hours and a lack of sleep when trying to recover Darlin' but I'm sure she'll be fine in the back of the car whilst the others go exploring.

Toby (Dee) , Amelia (Cassa), Cookie (Keith), and Sir Ingram (Mark) hurtle forward through their extremely vague nerd harassment job on behalf of friends of Rizon but none of them really know where they're going or what they're going to find at the end of it. All they do know is they seem to be in a sealed room full of unconscious test subjects wearing weird helmets... oh, and it's rising.

As we continue with the adventures of Amelia (Cassa), Cookie (Keith), Toby (Dee) and Sir Ingram (Mark), the rollercoaster rolls keep coming. The gang meet another new "friend" and stick to their guns of completing a vague job for an even vaguer mob before discovering something completely unexpected.

We stick around with Cookie (Keith), Amelia (Cassa), Sir Ingram (Mark) and Toby (Dee) as they close in on the address given to them by a shady Rizon fixer and no other details. What fun exciting establishment are they being sent to knock over by people they barely know?

We loop back around to continue our story with one of the other groups who awoke together following the explosive ending of season 1.
Cookie (Keith), Amelia (Cassa) and Sir Ingram (Mark) watch over Toby (Dee), as he sleeps off the mother of all hangovers and the gang try to work out their way forward in this new, unforgiving experience outside of Amazing Corps.

This first chapter of season 2 rounds out with the hodgepodge gang of Bludgeon (KO Myers), Frankie (Valery), Nox (Pan) and Maurice (Jen) extracting their newly liberated machine friends from Mega Sports Bar with Dial-up Danny and taking stock of what they've been through and done to get to this sticky situation in the first place.
Shed a tear, share some falafel and get ready for what comes next.

The two groups who have been just missing each other floating around between the ARC Lead Bank and big ol' junkyard finally meet up and Nox (Pan), Maurice (Jen) and Frankie (Valerie) get to enjoy a momentary reunion and breather before heading out to give Bludgeon (KO Myers) a hand over at Mega Sports Bar.

Bludgeon, played by KO Myers, gets recruited at the Lead Bank to help out with an odd job that requires a person of his specific physique: muscles. We find out if brawn is really all that's needed for this task though!

Zappp takes her cousin's car and travels across the city with Subject5 and Constant (formerly known as TMs) in search of their old colleague, Se-an.
The lead is vague though and they end up stumbling upon a random diner in the general area they tracked his message down to...
