Empire Of Rust 152 – The Holy Order Of Door Exploders

The infiltration of Outpost Argentum grinds forward as the crew wraps up the last of a brutal battle deep inside the Doctrine’s hidden stronghold. With alarms blaring and reinforcements prowling the halls, the team seizes control of a key security terminal—finally giving them a picture of the outpost’s layout… and the dangers still ahead. But the Doctrine of Steel and Synapse doesn’t give up its secrets easily. To advance toward the upper tiers of the facility, the squad must force their way through a fortified security room guarding access to the surface. When the doors won’t open, the crew does what they do best—makes their own. Explosions, fire, and a whole lot of steel later, the heroes brace themselves as roof access comes within reach.

Empire Of Rust 151 – Psalms Of The Silent Alarm

The infiltration of Outpost Argentum pushes deeper as the team seizes control of a critical security console. With the Doctrine’s monitoring network now laid bare before them, Magnum, Spindrift, Rough, Tumble, Carapace, and Gumshoe begin slicing through encrypted feeds, rerouting patrol paths, and gathering intel on the cult’s inner workings. But subtlety doesn’t last. A wandering squad of Doctrine fanatics blunders into the wrong hallway at the wrong time, forcing the crew into a sudden skirmish amid the flickering lights and blaring alarms of the outpost’s interior.
