## Resource

What on earth are you, and what is this place? To figure that out, we're doing it in the Birth Valley, re-entering the Techno Drome, expanding Chris' vocabulary, touring the Porsche factory, mixing monsters with machines, creating a bioactive environment, enjoying the Professor Holt bit, referencing Nei, citing sexy lady anime, determining the cat girl origin point, upsetting mother nature, stacking computers, breeding harmful monsters, meeting a computer child, and carrying the will of Seed. Sterilization treatment completed; please follow the line on the floor. 00:00:00 Marathon Man 00:03:06 Intro 00:04:32 Return to Birth Valley 00:05:45 Bio-Plant 00:21:32 Rika 00:31:44 Seed 00:45:57 Fresh Air in Zema 00:49:24 Real Net 00:56:20 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky : @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com
