Ahh, Eden-6. The intense aroma of brackish swamp water. The unsettling mating shrieks of gassy jabbers. That one guy with two dicks. This week, Dead ECHOs brings our heroes into the grand Jakobs Estate, where Junie reunites with her only two good relatives and Watts acts completely normal all the time from the moment he arrives.
You know, they say you can't go home again. Of course, you CAN literally go home again. They mean figuratively. As in, one can never recapture the feelings of youth even if one returns to the place of childhood rearing. Such is the case for Junie, who finds herself facing past demons and struggling greatly, as we all do, with the word "rearing." Watts, on the other hand, acts as cool and calm as you'd expect from one with such a mature mastery of his emotions. So crank up the Toots McGoots and let's get rolling...
About Borderlands: Dead ECHOs
Borderlands: Dead ECHOs is Gearbox's first scripted narrative podcast, a darkly comedic drama set in the chaotic Borderlands universe. It follows Watts, a disenchanted DAHL ECHO Operator, who supplements his meager pay by sifting lucrative secrets from undeliverable ECHO logs and selling them to the highest bidder. When Junie, a curious stranger with big ideas, gets him out of a jam, the two strike up an unlikely partnership. As Junie injects a daring Robin Hood twist into Watts' amateur criminal enterprise, their ECHO-brokering operation draws attention from ruthless mercenaries, violent outlaws, and DAHL's deadly corporate hit squad led by power-hungry rogue executive, Vivian Proctor.
