Recap Episodes 1 and 2 here!

Softly as in a Morning Sunrise is the third episode of Intrapology. You don't need to have seen Episodes 1 and 2 to follow the story, but if you'd like a refresher or a quick rundown, here are some key facts and short clips.

Quick catch-up

Tea (they/them) figured out that they are an alien anthropologist, born in our world so that they can study it.

Iris (they/them) is a supervisor based at the Transdimensional Research Institute. Except actually, it turns out their world - and every other world apart from ours - has falled apart due to fragmentation.

Now all that’s left in Iris’s world is the one room that we see on their webcam, behind which is a glowing blue void where the rest of society used to be

All of us are inextricably connected to the worlds we inhabit, even if we feel like we don’t belong. In our world, this doesn’t present much of a problem: with billions of beings holding our socially-constructed reality together, the world around us remains stable even we we personally are falling apart. Iris doesn’t have this luxury - their world is highly unstable.

So how is Iris able to contact earth at all? In Episode 2 we met Hedi (she/her), another recently discovered alien anthropologist who wants to know what’s really going on here. What’s the material basis for a world that exists all on its own? Iris dug deep to find out - literally - to discover that their world is built on layers of dirt, junk, jelly, and trauma.

Meanwhile, we live in a colonial capitalist hellscape. And look, I want to be grateful to live in a world that is relatively stable, a world that we are still able to share with billions of other humans. But like… look at this shit.
