Finders Keepers - Part Two: Charmer

The man in the ridiculous hat finally names the job. Something of his has been stolen - a prototype, still in development, that he calls her. Bandits are holding it out on the planet's surface and demanding a ransom in gold, and he doesn't want them dead. He wants it recovered. And recovering it, he warns, may take some convincing - which is the real reason he needs Victoria, for a reason that lands harder than either of them expects.The trail leads to a dead place: a city-sized construction project abandoned when the tunnels beneath it started swallowing workers whole. Rubyn and Victoria go in without lights, feeling their way through the dark past things left behind to warn them off, toward a silver glow and a vast stone chamber that shouldn't exist. And propped beneath an archway at the heart of it, in midnight-blue armour, is what they came to find.Content warning: gun violence, and disturbing imagery including desecrated human remains.The second episode of Book 2 of First Light: An Audio Drama. Written, narrated, and produced by Scott McGowan; featuring the voice talents of Sean Hiebert as Rubyn and Nancy Macdonald-Kerr as Victoria. Also featuring the original audio track, "Silverlight Dais", by Taylor Moorey (Dead Weight Citizens Brigade).
