RECAP:

On the last episode of Magnetar... Agent Pot Roast, Olivia and Roger encounter the mysterious and possibly cannibalistic "Echoes" of the Starfarer, a strange tribe of cryptic beginnings.

MAGNETAR — Day -128: NATUS

Deep inside the Echo Chamber, Olivia is given a recording—the voice of the mysterious Starfarer telling a story from Chora Beach’s past.

Then we go back.

128 days.

To the opening of the magnificent Aurora Pier Resort, where its first guests arrive expecting paradise.

They have no idea what is waiting for them.

Something was already there.

Something beneath Chora Beach.

And before their stay is over, the first people to walk through Aurora Pier will fall prey to something no one saw coming…

The snails.

This is where it began.

DAY 7: Subterranean States

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 24 mars 2026 • Durée 32:06

Episode Summary:

A "special day" at the Narwhal Station takes a jagged turn when a mysterious caller breaches the Company’s encrypted lines, proving that even Level 11 bulletproof glass has its breaking point. As the pressure mounts—both atmospheric and political—the Madam Census Taker and Madam Enumerator clash within the depths of the Quantorium over how to "polish the apple" of a narrative that is rapidly splintering.

Meanwhile, Agent Beef Stew is forcibly led by I.C.O. Mordecai to the Fulcrum, a subterranean artery where the world pivots and "chosen" agents must face an inevitable reckoning. From the silent abyss of the earth to a jungle clearing where luxury meets high-tension terror, the Company’s secrets are being surgically peeled back.

Sixteen cabins. One shooter in the dark. And a birthday wish that might be the last thing Agent Rhubarb Pie ever says.

MAGNETAR - DAY 7 - SUBTERRANEAN STATES

SUMMARY:

In the latest installment of Magnetar, a fragile birthday celebration at the Narwhal Station is shattered by a voice from the void, proving that even "bulletproof" certainties can fracture under the right pressure. As the high-altitude silence breaks, the corporate shadows of the Quantorium struggle to "polish the apple" of a narrative that is rapidly spinning out of control. From the clinical cold of the "Fulcrum" to the hypnotic, acid-resistant sands of a resort that sounds more like a fever dream than a destination, the Company's chosen few are discovering that every door is a threshold and every reckoning is inevitable.

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

samedi 27 décembre 2025 • Durée 56:03

Synopsis:

A ruthless Census interrogation cracks open the Company’s spotless façade—forcing Agent Beef Stew to explain missing “reports,” unexplained anomalies, and the one name he never wanted to say out loud: Welsh Rabbit.

On Chora Beach, Director Chapman scrambles a chaotic taskforce to hunt down Agent Pot Roast, Olivia, and Roger after Snail Station collapses and the trio vanishes into the jungle. But Pot Roast’s escape comes at a cost—and the deeper they run, the stranger the island becomes.

Moonlit freedom turns to paranoia, hunger, and whispers in the dark… until a smug, impossible voice guides them toward the ominous Mirror Fields, where the ground crunches underfoot and the jungle may be watching back.

The mission is still the mystery—only now, everyone’s on the move.

DAY 5: Chora Beach

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mercredi 2 juillet 2025 • Durée 25:39

Episode Summary:

As punishment for his recent "cows incident," Agent Pot Roast is exiled to the desolate outpost of Chora Beach—a place that sounds serene but hides a nightmare beneath the sand. Instead of soft waves and sunsets, Pot Roast finds an ocean of corrosive acid water and dunes crawling with unseen threats.

The once-bustling observation station is now abandoned and failing, its automated systems left in the unreliable hands of Axiom, a glitching virtual assistant with questionable motives and eroding sanity.

Worse still, Pot Roast discovers he's not alone. Deep within the compound, two additional prisoners await—isolated for so long that they have no assigned expiration date and no clear memory of their original mission.

What exactly is Chora Beach meant to contain... or protect? And how long can a mind survive in a place designed to erase it?

Dive into this tense, surreal chapter of Magnetar—where punishment blurs into existential horror, and freedom may be the deadliest illusion of all.

Eric Carlino as Agent Pot Roast
Leslie Grant as Olivia

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mercredi 2 juillet 2025 • Durée 24:55

Episode Summary:

Agent Pot Roast is summoned to the surface—an unusual and unsettling event in itself. But what awaits him is far worse: an official inquiry known only as The Census. Following the bizarre incident involving "naturally occurring cows" and a lightning strike on the surveillance cabin, Pot Roast finds himself at the center of suspicion.

He expected a debrief.
He got an interrogation.

As questions tighten like a noose, Pot Roast begins to suspect that this is no routine review—but a deeper probe into his thoughts, memories, and loyalties. Then, without warning, the room falls silent… and the Census Taker arrives.

Regal, eerie, and utterly unreadable, the Census Taker’s presence changes everything. What was once an investigation becomes something stranger—something existential.

Who watches the watchers? And what happens when the watchers are no longer trusted?

While attending a mandatory surface briefing, Agent Beef Stew grants unexpected access to his AI virtual assistant, Clementine—who reveals shocking intel to Agent Pot Roast that could unravel the truth behind their mission, their memories, and the Company’s hidden agenda. What Clementine knows will shake the foundations of everything Pot Roast thought was real.

As reality unravels and paranoia spikes, Pot Roast spirals into a mystery of memory manipulation, corporate conspiracies, and high-tech surveillance. Is he just cleaning windows—or scrubbing history itself?

DAY 2: Naturally Occurring Cows

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 22 avril 2025 • Durée 32:05

Shoestring TV presents MAGNETAR – Day Two: "Naturally Occurring Cows"

Agent Pot Roast recounts a recurring dream involving UFOs, little green men, and a surreal pasture filled with “naturally occurring cows”—livestock existing without fences, farmers, or interference. His bizarre vision sparks a deep (and darkly funny) conversation about humanity’s relationship with animals: Why do we cage some creatures while letting others run free? And who was the first person to look at a cow and think, “I should eat that”?

As philosophical musings collide with surveillance fatigue, a brief reprieve comes in the form of a strange virtual theater performance—staged by their AI assistant, Toby—a stylized 1950s domestic drama with sinister undertones. But things take a sharp turn when proximity alarms trigger and lightning strikes the observation target: an abandoned cabin on a remote mountain peak.

Is there a connection between dreams and physical events? Can thoughts shape reality? And what’s really happening in that cabin?

Dive into this eerie blend of sci-fi mystery, philosophical satire, and dark comedy—where cows, cabins, and cosmic questions collide.
