Episode 12: The Twin Sun.

The party reunites with Ganymede Polaris, the twin sister to Callisto, who was trapped and kept separate from everyone by Sterling. Ganymede is clearly strong headed, launching the party into action to escape as soon as possible. She immediately starts helping direct the plan: Dorokhov will disable their shock collars as Baird, Wood and Taylansta help free the Freakshow captives, while Gemevieve and Ganymede go to unlock every animal from the zoo. They would then meet to free Benoa, who will cause havoc among the circus staff. The animals would then cause a distraction and bring the circus to a halt while everyone would make their escape. The first parts of the plans go well; Dorokhov disables the collars of everyone while the freaks who wish to escape are let loose. The Demon in particular wishes to be freed, threatening the party if they do not open its cage, telling Baird that, “The Hive will remember [his] deeds”. Baird gives in and lets the demon free, who immediately runs without hesitation, leaving the party to free everyone else. Meanwhile, Ganymede and Gem let the zoo loose with little trouble. Ganymede even takes one of the animals as a pet of her own, the metal melting lizard, who also assists in melting the cages and bars of other creatures. The two groups meet back up at Benoa’s quarters, using the lizard to melt the lock on their cage and setting them free as well. Everything seems fine and escape is so close until Sterling and Euphoria find everyone, summoning their gang of robots to attack. It looks like the Ringmaster refuses to go down without a fight first.
