•Nov 18, 20255 months agoSummary
In this audio drama episode, Nicholas reunites with his grandmother Tanya at a mysterious facility built atop one of the world's largest cave systems. Tanya reveals she faked her death years ago to continue researching infected immunity in remote locations, having accumulated 13 bite marks while maintaining her humanity. The episode culminates in a military bombing attack that forces the group to seek shelter, with answers promised in the caves below.
Insights
- Long-term character arcs spanning years require careful secret-keeping and trust between characters to maintain narrative tension and emotional payoff
- Reveals about parental sacrifice and difficult choices resonate when grounded in specific, verifiable details (13 bites, faked death, research journals)
- Action sequences benefit from clear spatial geography and character motivation to maintain audience engagement during high-stakes moments
- Ensemble casts work best when secondary characters have their own arcs and relationships that intersect with the main plot organically
- Worldbuilding mysteries are most effective when they're hinted at throughout the narrative rather than introduced suddenly

Just keep going. So we have a very special message from John Grills. He is a fellow audio drama creator. And he says, I owe a lot to Casey. I personally think we all do. We're alive was at the forefront of the audio drama space. And what Casey and his team were able to bring to life establish the foundation of the world we get to play in today. Some of us even get to do it as our full-time jobs. When I saw this Kickstarter, only one thought went through my head. If Casey thinks the story needs to be told, then we need to help get it told. Thank you for leading the way, Casey. And thank you, John, for all your support. And thanks to all our Kickstarter backers who helped make that a reality. We're alive. Descendants. Written and directed by Casey Waland. In the past, we have a new story. The story is about to begin. Chapter 19. Dwelling in the past. Part 1 of 3. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was wondering how long it would take you to notice. I tried to keep covered, but there's no hiding it anymore. Your face. It's almost all gray. Oh, wow. Losing my pigment. Your eyes look different, too. Is all of this from the cancer? Well, not exactly. But I am sick. Wait, with what? How was any of this possible? That's going to take some time. Well, Grandma, we got a plenty now. Don't we? It took long enough to get here, but thankfully, Will and I... Oh, yeah. This is, uh... This is Will. He traveled with me from Primm. I honestly wanted I've made it here without him. Uh... Hi. You did? Thank you, Will. Thank you for keeping him safe. We're grateful for you. Oh. I mean, I did nothing. That ain't true, man. We've been through so much already. It felt like forever. I knew you'd be here, Mama. I was starting to lose hope, but somehow I knew too. Easy, easy. How bad are you hurt? You don't seem fine. Ma, relax. Okay, my sides are outside. I'm good. I'm great, actually. But look, I want to know about you. How long have you been here? How did you even get here? And first off, why are all these infected just standing around us? Yeah. Why aren't they attacking? About a week. I am... Well, we left Westport on a plane after... After... Well, there's... There's something you need to know about. Michael. Yeah. I know. I heard. Beret told me. And some weird-ass family explain the rest. They... They said he's gone. Yeah. Nick, I'm... I'm so... so sorry. No, no, no, no, my... Look, it's... It's you that I need to say sorry to. I left you all alone and you... You had to deal with everything by yourself. And... And now... I won't get to say it to you, either. No, no. Michael knew. He was more worried about what was happening with you than... Anything about himself. The doctor said that if I had gotten there any later, I wouldn't have been able to talk with him at all. I wouldn't have found you. All Michael ever wanted was for you to be safe. He cared more than he ever could say. I guess... I guess we have that in common. If... If anyone needs to apologize, it should be me. If it hadn't been for that journal, you wouldn't have left in the first place. Wait, the journal? You sent the journal? I did. Why? I have a reason. But you're gonna have to trust me and give me time to explain. I trust you. Honestly, I feel like I barely know you. Even when you were in my life, you were never around. Always leaving Westport. And now I find out you're alive. Did you even have cancer? And what else? Have you been living here the whole time? I mean, my only connection to who I really am is you, and you left. Grandma, do you understand how much I needed you? Of course I do. As much as I needed you. But you have to believe me. There was no way I could remain in Westport. I didn't know what might happen next. The only option I had was to leave. Things started to get to be too much. I told Michael the same. Did you know? It was one of the hardest days of my life. What the hell? Who is it? It's Tanya. What? Oh, jeez. Get in here. It's a mess out there. I know the feeling. It's couldn't wait till morning. Is pegs here? No. She's at the food. I'm going to get a drink. I'm going to get a drink. Is pegs here? No. She's at the Food and Agriculture meeting tonight. You need her? And Nicholas? He's asleep in bed. What's going on? What's wrong? I think it's time, Michael. Time for what? What do you mean for what? People have started to notice. They'll only believe this cancer story for so much longer. Look at my skin. Even less color than last week. Well, it doesn't look that bad. Maybe, you know, maybe with a little makeup or... For how much longer? I need to do this while I'm still me. What if there are other options? There are none. Michael, you know how hard this is. How one day I might just wake up and I have no control anymore. We don't even know what could happen next. I'm endangering people. I can't do that any longer. I've made my decision. You don't know if you'll even turn. You said so yourself. I know enough. This is my choice. Now, I need you to uphold your promise. Yeah. Yeah. Um, does hope know? I already talked to her at the hospital. She's prepared to do her part. Has a body ready for cremation? If anyone asks, this is what I wanted. People already know I'm sick. Tells them the cancer took hold of that. Then it was quick. And I wanted people to remember me for how I was. Not what I became, which is absolutely true. Well, where were you going? Do you have a plan? There's a place I traveled through in New Mexico. Spent some time studying there. That you're here. Right here. Fairly remote, but it'll be safe. I want to go back. Able to continue my studies for as long as possible. I can make it the rest of the way if you can get me out of Westport. There's no chance anyone at the border crossing wouldn't notice me looking like this. Hmm. Well, if that's truly what you want, we can leave first thing in the morning. Good. Good. It is. I'll meet you at the hospital. But, Michael, no one can know about this, okay? If anyone would have found out, it would damage everything I've done so far. All my research in the field, all the good it is, then would be lost. This is all people would remember of me. Not even Nick or Pegs? I can't tell them. Oh, especially not Nick. He's going to have a hard enough time as it is. But he still needs to know what he might be, and that there's a chance he's immune. He hasn't heard all the details about his father and what happened before. I was going to tell him the full story when he was old enough and ready. But, that's going to have to be you now. Wow. I don't know. I mean, you may be asking the wrong person here. Would you do that for me? I don't know how much longer I have. Consider these my last wishes. And no records of where I'm going. No journals, nothing. I know how you like to keep track of things. This can only be a secret if you keep it. Do this for me, but also for him. Oh, man. All right. I will. It won't be easy, but I'll find a way. Thank you. I have one last request. Oh, my God. There's more? Can I see my grandson one last time? Of course. He's in his room sleeping. I won't wake him. He shows us, nor is it? You have no idea. Goodbye, my baby boy. I love you so much, Nicklaus. I love you. Um, so, uh, what happens if I ever need to reach you? Are you me? Doubt that'll happen. But if it does, then, uh, well, I don't know. Well, you know, if you don't, if you don't want me records, or any mention of you, you, uh, we could just make up a name. Maybe use your title? Director of infected studies. Or just director. We used all kind of code names in the old tower for the radio. It was a way to keep our identity safe. I remember. So, why not, if it ever comes to that? Thank you, Michael. Oh, man. You can do this, right? I need you to be strong. Well, it's, uh, it's not me I'm worried about. You have any idea? Just gonna do to him? And how do I even begin to tell Nick what he might be? If anyone could explain it, it's you and Pegs. As much as you've already done for that boy. Oh, I am forever grateful. And I know Saul would be too. I wish things were different. That I could be there for him through all that. Luckily, he has a father like you. Ha. Well, Nick doesn't always feel that way. But thanks. Sometimes we have to do things for the people we love that they just won't ever understand. See you on the morning, Michael. And thank you. Good night, Tanya. Oh, my. Michael kept his promise. He never told anyone about what really happened to you, Tanya. And when Nick turned 14, we told him about his mom and dad. And what he might be. Well, Michael and I were kept in touch for a while in the beginning. But then we drifted apart over time. It was hard to hear about the lives of those I loved, but couldn't be a part of anymore. I'm so, so, so sorry, Nicholas. I honestly never thought I'd make it this long. But then I had to find a way to reach you. Oh, right, right. What do you mean make it this long? What's going on? What really happens to you? This happened. Oh, oh, my God. Are those all bites from infected? Grandma, how many do you have? 13. How is that possible? I only knew of the one. That one. I got early on when everything first started at the colony. The others came much later during the years I spent in the field researching them. Oh, inevitably some got too close, but I was always able to get away. Whatever immunity is inside of me prevented infection from taking over. But apparently I can only hold off so much. I, I didn't know. That was the point. I never wanted to put anyone in danger. That you'd give seem like my only option. Wait, it's you. You were the director? Mm-hmm. We made it. This is where we're supposed to be. Yeah, it is. Everything we went through, it's, it's just crazy to think. Who the hell is that? Keys, keys, I need your keys. Dean? The guy who stabbed you in the back of the liar? Dean? Oh, man, you and I got words too. Yeah, sure. Fine, whatever you want. Just give me the keys to your blue truck. How did you know me? Hurry. They've been talking about it all over the public's radio. About what? Now, give me, give me, give me, give me, give me. Oh, Nick, just do it. Okay, here. Everyone, get inside. Hurry. Donia, I need your cane. Take it. Why does he want that? It's a fuck up in. A fuck up in. The hell did you just say? You can talk to them? It's their language. Wait, wait, hold on, it's their fuck. Dean, where is he going? Dean came here with me wherever he said it. I'm sure it's for a good reason. Wait, you trust him too? He's one of them. Those family people. Oh, oh, I am well aware. You'll be able to see what Dean's doing from the top floor of the visitor's center. Biggs, can you? Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll show him where. I'll getcha. Boy, hey, grandma, are you gonna be okay? I mean, the infected there. It's fine. They listen to her. Your friends figured it out. Go on. You know, it's taking everything that I got right now, not to shoot those things. I know, it still freaks me out too, but they aren't aggressive. My, how is that? How is that even possible? Well, the wait, Tanya explained it. There's just many different kinds of sub-species. And well, this is the kind that doesn't attack. Well, did they're pacifists? No way. Yeah, I don't know if I entirely believe that. Seems too crazy. Oh, yeah, that's... that is only the start. Wait till you hear the rest. You really never knew about this place? Michael never told you? Not a word. Didn't know about Tanya. None of it. He kept a disagree from everyone, including his wife. Oh, how'd you? Right? You got it. Thank you. Oh, it's well. Right, well. How many more steps off this is... this is kind of starting to hurt. You said it was nothing. Well, maybe not nothing. He was shot after all. You were shot? Well, what am I out of the long list of important things that I want to deal with right now? This is definitely the lowest, okay? I mean, where do I even start with this place? How about we start with where that Dean guy is going? Well, why did he need the keys to our truck? Oh, look, there. There he goes. He's driving up the road we came in on. He's trying to escape. No, no, no. I don't think so. Dean wouldn't do that. Uh, he's really booking it. Ah, well, there goes our ride. And you really think you know this guy? Ma, huh? He's one of those spies. I know. But Dean's whole family did a lot to try and get you back. After you left, a group from Westport went to try and find you all. Mira as well. Oh, those were the people we saw in print. I met one. Her name was Ryle. Ryle, you did? What happened to them? I never heard back. Uh, you said you left a week ago? Uh-huh. That's right about the time that Primm fell. That's where you were. Well, what do you mean, fell? The city was overrun by infected. Oh, my God. But what about... Ma, Ma, Bert and Kelly were leaving on a helicopter, okay? I saw them head in the direction of Westport. And I think that the others were with them, too. Okay, so they would have made it home. Yeah, you know, Bert. I'm pretty sure. I must have missed them. All that happened in that Primm? Well, what about Vera, Alex and the others from the helicopters? Well, Vera is safe. And I'm pretty sure Alex went back with the others. The only other one that was with us was Lisa. We, uh... We lost her there. Oh, Nick. I'm sorry. Yeah. Uh, I think Dean is headed towards the main road. I can't see the truck anymore. Boy, you sure that he's not belling on us? I mean, look, I've got some serious shit to talk about with that guy. No, I really don't think he... Oh, Nick? Yeah, okay. Nick, big ass plane. There's a big ass plane coming from the direction of the Republic. Oh, wait, wait. You don't think that... They probably said to plane after our truck because of what happened at the checkpoint. Oh, no. Okay. Republic is right, so... Left. Oh, okay. Donny's game. Where did... Oh, man, please tell me you're restoring wheel. Please, please, please. Yes! All right, steering wheel's locked. Now, cruise control. Oh, let this work. Please, please, let this work. There! Look, Ma! No hands! Oh, God, there's the plane. Oh, it's working. It's working. Oh, no. It's working. Oh, it's actually working. Oh, shit! God, no! No! Okay. They're just tracking the truck down, right? I mean, you don't think they would actually... Oh, shit. Dean. That... That was a bomber. He was... He didn't... trying to save us? It was... because of us. Wait a minute. The bomber is circling around, heading back to the Republic. Come on! Finally. That's a lot of steps. Come and do a grubble. Now where you go with? We have to check on Dean. I thought you were already doing that. Well, we've got to do it from down there now. Oh, fine. I'm coming. He took my cane. Why do you have to take my good cane? Descendants will continue after a word from our sponsors. The six nations on the BBC. They were the loves of the West. We're ready to go. And away we go.

They've been sitting here for too long. Sid, Pegs, Tanya, have anything that we could drive? No, I don't think so. All right, then wait here. Oh, wait, what? You're going to walk there? Yeah, I have to look for Dean. I thought you just said you couldn't trust him. Yeah, that was before I knew the guy ran off to save our asses. That bomber has spotted the truck parked anywhere near here. I know. He let it away. Nick! Just stay there, okay? I'm not losing you again. Hi. Hey, you don't mind if I come, right? Yeah, of course not, man. Hey, um... Listen, if things hadn't gone wrong at the border, if I hadn't shot that guard, they didn't have done this. Look, you don't know that, okay? They still could have anyways. You did what you had to will. I keep telling you. Yeah, that doesn't make me feel any less shitty. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. There's smoke. Oh, man. They definitely hit something. I can almost see it. Come on, we got to get to the top of the hill. Wow. The truck. Damn it, Dean. He was my best friend. Was? You... you motherfucker. Damn it. What do you mean? What do you mean? What is your best friend? Oh, come on, man. Do I even need to explain why? Oh, it's clear. Right, they didn't send any more planes. Yeah, it's clear. So, can I fucking hit you now? The part of me that just bailed out of a moving truck onto the road, it really rather you not. As well, as the part of me that was synched my ears that continue to ring very loudly from the chalk wave. And also, the part of me that landed on a cactus when I rolled into the ditch so they wouldn't see me. Oh, they're dramatic. Now you're just being a little bitch. Oh, shit. Man, that I miss you, Nick. Oh, you sure you did? Not that someone told you to miss me. Right? That's fair. Like, I should have gone with you. You don't know how much I wish I would have. No, no, you don't. Really, Nick. I do. There's a lot, I wish I had said before. I've had to live a weird life with all that family. Stuff. I mean, so much of what I've had to do feels like a lie. The only thing that has ever been real has been being friends with you, man. You were... You really mean that? When I try and run down a military bomber for just anyone? If he's not only tears of pain, man. Well, okay, they are mostly that. Look, 100% truth with you all the time. Now, I am hurting like hell. You know, maybe that makes sense for just like a little. You got a long way to go, but... Oh, what else does a man gotta do? I mean, come on. Come on. I can't believe you made it. You're okay after all that, huh? Oh. Hold on, what about this guy? Does he know anyone mentioned about the family affair or stuff? Oh, I know all about that stuff. I was with Nick and Eram. Great. Well, it was a nice secret society while last. Alright, come on. Let's get back to the visitor center. Hey, Dean, you got any decent first day supplies? Yeah, we got a lot of stuff. Oh, crap. You're bleeding too. How did that? You know, just got shot. And you're just walking around with it like that? Oh, yeah. You know, maybe one of us knows how to... Tough things out. You know, oh my god. I almost got blown up. Come on. Like, that ain't nothing compared to what Will and I went through. Oh, really? I mean, this man practically grew up in hell. Why, where are you from? Uh, uh, Prin. Yeah, you have to catch me up. We haven't heard a lot from out here. Oh, likewise. This place is something else. Hey, Dean. There is another thing that's been on my mind. So, I actually been really eaten away at me. Yeah, 100% honestly. Just ask. Okay, how do I put this? All right, in the Guardian Trials, you remember how you took me out, right? I mean, you could only do that because of your little super spy training, right? Oh, that? Oh, that's really been weighing on you all this time, hasn't it? I mean, yeah, you seriously kicked my ass. I just have to know for myself if it was a fair fight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I really did kick your ass. Yeah, okay, fine. I did have some previous hands-on instruction. I fucking knew it. You're a cheater. Oh, hardly. Just admit I beat your ass. Oh, no, I'm not forgetting that. That right there? Oh, my goodness. That is unforgivable. It wasn't even a even playing field. Oh, okay. Just wait. Something else. That's a good time. You know, Nick and I, we built a car together. Mm-hmm. Really? You took down a giant swamp infected too, so. Okay. Oh, and we even jumped on a moving train. Remember that? Whoa. Yeah, it was really something, wasn't it, Will? Dean, you're gonna like, well, super, super smart guy. You know, he made a new model pistol and only a few days. That's what I killed the swamp thing with. Yeah, it was pretty, yeah. It's pretty crazy stuff. Pretty crazy stuff. Yeah, crazy. Mm-hmm. Oh, man. Cool. Thanks. Thanks. Oh. Mm-hmm. Dean. Oh, I'm fine, Pigs. It worked. We're safe. How did you know that was going to happen? The plane? The radio from the Republic. The one I stole earlier this week. It was monitoring it, heard about the attack at the border checkpoint. Then they called in a bomber to engage, and once I figured out it was you, and then you were here, and I had to leave them away. Click thinking. Yeah. Well, if I didn't, this all might have been discovered. Or become a pile of rumble. Well, wait, so the Republic doesn't know about this place? Thankfully, no. They have a lot of border to monitor. Actually, what even is this place? Well, I'm not sure if I am really the best one to explain. Oh, I knew you'd be fine. Well, I sure didn't. But you led them away, right? Yeah. And now that they think your truck is destroyed, I doubt anyone will come looking for you, too. Woohoo. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You alright? Yeah, grandma. Just sit down. Catch your breath. Breath. Tyna. Hey, hey, hey, hey, grandma. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Record vital. Sorry. Tyna. Tyna. Sorry. Sorry. I'm fine. I'm fine. Just a lot at once. Got a little overwhelmed and dizzy. Okay, grandma. Are you sure? That's your alright? Hmm. I am. I'm just glad you're all safe. Yep. And so is Latria. What's so important about this place? Why did you come here? The sign didn't even say that name, so what is it? It's probably better if you've shown him, right? Ah, but after we use some of those good old Docker skills again? Of course. This way. Him too. Oh my, if you say so. Look, it's only a scratch, ma. Carl's bad caverns. We're on top of a cave, right? Mm-hmm. One of the largest in the world. Oh. And it used to be a tourist attraction? At one point. But now it's so much more. Why? What are you protecting? What's down there? Answers, Nicholas. To the questions you've been asking yourself, I have no doubt. And what I've been searching for. My whole life. To be continued in the next episode of Where Alive, Descendence. And now a word from our sponsors.
