In Episode 16, Colin Cheney is missing. He was last seen venturing to Puerto Rico in search of a major discovery at the Arecibo Observatory. Meanwhile, fearing his reoccurring Martian Aphasia might lead to his arrest, Donald Quist flees the United States and returns to Bangkok. From Thailand, Donald reflects on America's declaration of war with Mars and the executive order to detain any perceived followers of former Mars colonist, Captain Raymond Shepard. Donald discusses the growing sense of anxiety across the globe as uncertainty about alien invaders continues to aid the rise of demagogues. Sorting through abandoned audio from his last visit with Colin, Donald shares a recording of the pair riding through Boston, Massachusetts, on their way to meet a new sponsor for the podcast. Reminiscing on their work together, Donald ponders Colin's vanishing and if the podcast might be of greater significance than either of them could have imagined.

Episode 7: "Will Art Survive?" w/ Narawan "Kyo" Pathomvat
Things get weird(er) in this seventh episode as Colin and Donald sit down with Narawan "Kyo" Pathomvat, creator and curator of the contemporary art library and meeting space, The Reading Room. Kyo talks about starting an arts library in an art community largely indifferent, if not hostile, to a non-profit space devoted to dialogue and discourse. She explains some of the motivations behind Bangkok's conservative art scene, and discusses her past experiences navigating the NYC art world and an abusive relationship. Kyo also shares her plan to welcome the arrival of the giant whale-like unidentified objects that threaten to end the world.
The hosts elect to stay home with their families in the hours before the arrival of the "Mars Whales". Donald and Colin reflect on things left undone while dealing with strange signals disrupting the podcast.
