		<itunes:summary>Marco had been top ranked in player verses player one on one in the MMO Crevasse for over a year until a nobody with GM like powers poned him.  Everett, the lead designer of Crevasse, lost his job over the negative reaction to his updates in Crevasse II.  Mad at the studio that creates the game, Everett leaves an Easter egg in the code for the next release that has some unexpected results during a PVP match between Marco and the player who defeated him.

		<itunes:summary>In 1884 a school master named Edwin Abbott Abbott wrote the novella “Flatland: A Romance in Many Dimensions.”   The book explored what it would be like to live in a two dimensional universe, and speculated that there might be other dimensions.  The Abott’s story lay in obscurity until it was rediscovered in the early 20th century after Einstein wrote “The Theory of General Relativity” which discussed the possibility of a fourth dimension.  Since then several films and animations have been made based on Abbott’s novella.

This month’s story revisits Abbott’s flat universe from the point of view of a down and out private detective in search of his first big case.</itunes:summary>

		<itunes:summary>Maya and Tim live in a future that is powered by coal, kids over 8 must work for a living, and reality is not what it seems.
Tim’s parents died after an apparently random traffic accident, leaving him alone, and in debt for the medical expenses.  Unable to pay, his liabilities were auctioned off to a family who owns a café, where he now has to work until their daughter, Maya, finishes college.

When two mysterious customers from Europa Café show up in the lobby of the building that hides Anneita's secret archive she forces Tim and Maya to leave.  While on their way back to the café Maya feels that they are being followed, and when they arrive at the Europa they find it closed and Maya's mother missing.

		<itunes:summary>Lambent Nape Nor works at the Infinite Macro Cosmic Reality Corporation as the assistant head of product design and customer services for Universe 8.  Despite Lambent’s concerns management insists on a last minute change to an already rushed update.  It quickly becomes evident that change does more than they had intended.

The week’s story is based on the idea proposed by physicist David Bohm that the Universe is might be similar to a holographic projection and discussion around our house on recent news headlines that graphically point out how things don’t always go as planned.

		<itunes:summary>Maya and Tim live in a future that is powered by coal, kids over 8 must work for a living, and reality is not what it seems.
Tim’s parents died after an apparently random traffic accident, leaving him alone, and in debt for the medical expenses.  Unable to pay, his liabilities were auctioned off to a family who owns a café, where he now has to work until their daughter, Maya, finishes college.

After receiving an unexpected message warning him to check the server logs at the café, Tim and Maya go to meet the mysterious sender, who initially appears to be a bag lady, but is in fact from an old eccentric wealthy Way Station family.   She takes Tim and Maya to the disused top floor of the Ashton Towers, where she reveals her involvement in a hundred year old society that is trying to understand the actions of an elusive and dangerous group which has been apparently changing history.

Tim’s gopher server project has inadvertently brought him, Maya and the café under the scrutiny of this organization and the Europa café’s future may be threatened as a result.

		<itunes:summary>A 500 hundred year old terraforming project is derailed by an imminent invasion. No one, except a small group of scientists, understands the true nature of the threat and its real implications for the future of their civilization.

This story evolved out of a discussion on James Lovelock‘s Gaia hypothesis that the earth is an single complex organism, the recent announcement of the creation of a synthetic genome, and a story that appeared about the possibility of  life on Titan, based on an entirely different chemistry then our own.

In our second story, entitled, The Mission, the leader of a multi-generally space craft reports their research findings after nearly 50 years of silence.  This story grew out a conversion around Steven Hawking’s comments on the possibility of Alien Life, made at NASA’s the 50th anniversary.

		<itunes:summary>Orph The Emerald Planet is the second installment in a series of bedtime classics adapted to the Makeshift Stories universe.  Based on the 1907 story by Laura E Richards The House with the golden Windows from a book of short stories with the same name, it presents the archetypal irony that grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.
Sareen tells her apprentice Fox a legend about the origins of the Sodality that she heard from Effie while Marooned on Ceres.
