Episode 55: The Disappearance of Dave Michaels
or... Insert Coin to Continue, or Prepare for Mathematical Consequences

When Dave Michaels vanishes inside KSCO's experimental Holodeck while reliving his favorite arcade games from the 1980s, Detective Billy Armi enters a digital world of wireframe tanks, glowing motorcycles, ghosts, and a sinister Master Control Program. To rescue Dave, Billy must rely on the only weapon powerful enough to defeat a supercomputer: his completely irrational theories about numbers.

Can Detective Armi save Dave before the MCP takes control of every reality? And is the number five really a number—or has Billy been right all along? Join us for a retro arcade adventure filled with mystery, nostalgia, confused mathematics, and one very suspicious number.
