Transcript S1 E15: Last Call Narrator S: The Ship soars downcurrent along the Mediun, the bright sky above, the ocean of Fold below.

Transcript S1 E14: Safety [Strange croaking, bird calls, a symphony of nature.] Narrator M: Somewhere between the depths and the Mediun, a tiny uncharted islet shimmers with soft bioluminescence in the dark of the Fold, wreathed in a haze of silky mist.  Narrator S: No human settlements here, but richly inhabited by natural life.  M:…

Transcript S1 E11: The Disappearance of the Dazzling Duchess Narrator S: The high altitudes of the Un are a brilliant cloudscape of prismatic crystal; a frigid void of harsh luminescence, ice, and wind; of sparkling glassy shrapnel, swirling vapors, and titanic mica shards.
