Here it is, folks. The last bit of Episode 10, the last bit of Secret Rooms: Part 2- Setting Out... but not the last on race relations, because we've still got Chapter 14 to cover next time... plus, Cartographer's Handbook, Arlington and... well, the whole of reality. But I digress.
If you want to avoid all talk of the Coronavirus, you can skip ahead to the 12 minute mark, because we get into the parallels of people not doing something because the government says so.

Really, a rollicking good time for all.
