This episode kicks off with a high-stakes invasion as two soldiers storm the Beacon, taking control and locking down Halan. Their mission: force Halan into a communication simulation with someone who appears to be his father. However, none of our hosts are entirely convinced that this person is truly Halan’s father, adding a layer of mystery to the unfolding drama. Meanwhile, the resourceful Iris takes bold action, helping the Sibarians escape from the Beacon using the soldiers' ship. Her quick thinking and bravery highlight her vital role in the Beacon's dynamics. Adding to the chaos, Harmony steps in to run interference, masquerading as an inept beacon AI unit in a comedic attempt to thwart the soldiers' plans. https://9msb2e.a2cdn1.secureserver.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Beacon_23_S2_Episodic_207.mp4 but what do the hosts think?
