  • Very good.

    Currently on MAG 144, binging like madness. The setting is well-thought-out and Sims is skilled at connecting episodes together. Remember the names, as they may remember you…

    Would recommend.

    Makes me feel at home.

  • Statement of Hazel Rutter regarding a fire in her childhood home.

    Hello, Jon. Apologies for the deception, but I rather wanted to make sure you started reading, so I thought it best not to announce myself. I'm assuming you're alone. You always did prefer to read your statements in private. I wouldn't try too hard to stop reading. There's every likelihood you'll just hurt yourself. So just listen.

    Now, shall we turn the page and try again?

The Magnus Protocol Season 1 QnA
Q: What made you want to write an explicitly trans character for The Magnus Protocol? Why will or why won't Alice's trans identity ever be important to the story?
We want to see trans people reflected in the fiction we create without needing to justify their presence. Alice's trans identity will not be important to the story because everyone deserves to see themselves in fiction without needing an explanation.
The Magnus Protocol Season 1 QnA
Q: Did you already have ideas brewing for the sequel or for either case files or character arcs? How did you come up with a storyline for The Magnus Protocol?
We didn't have any of the specifics of protocol in mind when we were working on the last season of Archives, but we knew the mechanism that would be available to us, essentially opening up a multiverse.
The Lost Tapes, Tape 1 - Are You Scared?
Q: What should we do next?

Of course not. I never wanted to hurt myself. I just wanted to be better.
