I'm running a Session 0 next week - Tuesday 18th at 6pm UK Time for four hours. One of our players has had to pull out, so I'm looking for someone to fill in the spot.

The game is a space opera setting of my own writing, using the Cypher System. It's a complete Session 0, so none of us have tried the ruleset before, so no experience is necessary, just a willingness to have fun, laugh and join in.

There will be elements of vehicle combat, ground combat, investigation and horror.

I'm based in the UK, but our players are not, so feel free to give me a shout if you fancy having a go.

The idea is that we are looking to see if this is worth pursuing into a Session 1 and beyond...

Three nights ago I was running frequency sweeps around the Solomon Island coastal bands. Standard stuff. At 18:47 UTC something lit up that had no business being there. A transmission pattern activating from the direction of Kingsmouth Lighthouse. Not interference. Not noise. A structured broadcast with deliberate spacing, number sequences, and layered signals underneath the primary voice track.

I know what you're thinking. But here's the part that made me sit down and stare at the wall for a while: the frequency signatures match Orochi equipment. Specifically, equipment from 2012. Equipment that was supposed to have been dismantled after Project Polaris was terminated.

It gets stranger.

The signal isn't whole. It's geographically distributed. I'm only receiving a portion of it here. Based on the frequency mapping, there should be five or six distinct streams, each reaching a different part of the world. This wasn't a mistake or a malfunction. Whoever built this designed it so that no single receiver could intercept the complete transmission. You would need people in different timezones, comparing fragments, to hear the whole thing.

Someone went to a great deal of trouble to make sure this couldn't be silenced.

On 3 July 2026, at 19:00 UTC, the full broadcast activates. That's 14 years to the day from when the fog came to Kingsmouth. I'm going to need your help.

Head to feedthemoths.blogspot.com on the day. Select your timezone. Download your fragment.

Then we pool everything.

Come and watch the livestream first if you like: twitch.tv/catboiler from 18:00 UK time on 3 July. I'll be explaining what I've found before the signal goes live. As well as this, I know he's planning a new mission to be unveiled on stream that evening, plus organised PvP matches.

The lighthouse has been quiet for 14 years. Something woke it up.
