The Muse Squad returns to the Pre-Rifts base, code name: ORCHESTRA, to destroy a Coalition outpost. If the squad can reach a toxic waste pit, they can breach it to flood the outpost. Of course, ORCHESTRA is a dangerous place, filled with monsters and other hazards, not to mention the Coalition soldiers in the base.

The Muse Squad heads into the Orchestra, a massive pre-Rifts underground facility used by the American military for scientific research. It is the birthplace of the Muses and the origins of the Symphony of the End. Due to the rifts, it has expanded as a fractal, with numerous variations and permutations. Rival factions are trying to take the Orchestra over, and the Muse Squads means to keep them out. The Coalition has built a beachhead outpost in the Orchestra and the Tomorrow Legion wants it destroyed!

I have been thinking about making a second edition of Base Raiders. Back in October 2022, I ran a playtest to try out some ideas before I focused on the night clerk zine. I recently remembered that I had this epsiode, so here it is. Tom and Chris make characters and then we try a short adventure. Enjoy!
