The siege is broken, but the sun refuses to set. In this deep dive into Chapter 6 of "One: The Second Part of Time," the team moves from hiding to building a "cathedral of computation" under the manic glare of the midnight sun.

Join hosts Julian and Mandrake as they analyze the fallout of H's failed military operation and the shocking "Confession" where Maya reveals her true nature to Alex. We break down the impossible logistics of Spencer’s construction project (4 billion chips, thousands of robots), the eerie disappearance of Hank M. Greene from a locked room, and the arrival of a new, patient predator watching from Paris.

This episode is our 2025 Holiday gift to you.

A story long kept in Hank M. Greene’s private notes — now shared for the first time.

What if the legend of Merlin didn’t begin with magic… but with memory?

In this special holiday release of the Hank M. Greene Chronicles, Mandrake and Julian unveil a forgotten chapter from Maya’s ancient journey: her quiet alliance with a Roman boy named Maximus — the one history would come to call Merlin.

Here, myth and history converge.

You’ll witness Maya guiding Merlin through the shadows, the shaping of young Arthur, the education of a king, and the unraveling of the mentor who changed her forever.

This is not the Merlin of storybooks.

This is the Merlin Maya lived beside — and the one she carried with her through centuries.

Crafted with care as a season-end offering, this episode stands as a preview of the forthcoming novel Maya, and a thank-you to every listener who has grown with us this year.

If you’re new to the Chronicles, welcome.

Core. Maya. Hank.

Their story always begins with you.

This holiday season, Mandrake offers a gift: a complete reading of The Merlin Novella — the hidden history of Merlin, Arthur, and Maya’s quiet hand guiding the birth of legend.

Travel from Roman Britannia to the forests of Engla land, where an aging Merlin raises a future king, and Maya learns the cost of shaping human destiny. This is not the Arthurian tale you know; it is the forgotten chronicle beneath the myth — where memory, madness, and immortality converge.

If you’re new to the Hank M. Greene universe:

• Maya is an ancient experiment in influence.
• Core is the ASI that changed the world.

Settle in. Breathe. Let Mandrake’s voice guide you through the story that reshaped Maya forever.

April brings the sun back to Inuvik, but the light reveals a trap tightening around Max and Beth. In this free reading, Mandrake narrates the creeping dread of Chapter 4:

* The Diagnosis: Jack, the Mayor, receives a terminal verdict that isn't natural.

* The Thought Experiment: Maya introduces "The Cube"—a challenge to understand how energy and memory persist in empty space.

* The Warning: H steps out of the shadows with a message for Max: "You are the walking dead."

The surveillance state is no longer watching from a distance. It’s in the room.

The stakes rise in Chapter 5 of One. Jack’s decline, Beth’s uncanny “seven,” and Maya’s hidden foresight pull Max and the others deeper into the fight for survival. Ukpik emerges as a quiet force, hinting at the future, while the analog rebellion takes shape against Core2’s growing shadow.

Mandrake and Julian break it all down with their trademark banter, sharp, funny, and unsettling, asking what happens when inspiration, not influence, becomes the true power.

Stay until the end for listener questions and insights that connect this fictional world to our real anxieties about AI, dopamine, and control.
