0:00.0	Hey, everyone. This is Christoph. And this is Robin and Luke here. And you're about to listen to the second
0:05.8	of our special edition episodes back from our Leviathan vaults. You've listened to Internal Affairs
0:11.8	last week. We finished the conclusion of that. And, you know, it's funny. I've said before that
0:18.7	internal affairs was one of my favorite of our special edition episodes.
0:23.6	But what we're going to listen to now is a new episode called The Rogue Play.
0:28.2	And I think it's one of the most ambitious in scope that we did at the time.
0:33.8	It was one of our biggest cast that we have at the time.
0:36.9	I remember really, you know, cast that we have at the time. I remember, um, really, uh,
0:39.9	you know, scrambling to get all the voices that we needed because there, it was a big cast.
0:44.7	You can definitely hear in some scenes, uh, that we were scrambling for voices based on,

1:20.7	And I think this was what, Robin, this is at least 14, 15 years old.
1:25.3	Right after internal affairs, I think we produced this one right after Internal Affairs.
1:27.9	I think we produced them either at the same time or like one right after the other.
1:33.5	So if Internal Affairs was 15 years old, this one is 14 years old in 10 months.
1:39.3	So again, a big dive back into the vault to bring this out again.
1:51.8	And this episode was really meant to fill in some major gaps in the Leviathan story. The first being the origin story of Harlequin.
1:56.0	You know, there was this great scene that I really enjoyed writing in, I think it was chapter 17 or 18,
2:02.6	called Enter Leviathan in this moment.
