Welcome back to "The Big Red Button"—where the wasteland's wild but the dice are wilder!
In this episode, our fearless adventurers dive deeper into the Fallout universe, uncovering secrets and facing unexpected twists! Crazy Carl — or should we say Carlos Mendoza — has left a trail of mystery, and it's up to our crew to piece it all together.

- Onward to Harrison: With a Vertibird sighting, the team sets their sights on Harrison. They recap their journey, pondering potential allies like Robert Short, and gear up for the next chapter of their adventure!
