Brouhaha-Nine-Nine-Five Synopsis Charlotte Pollard — once the greatest adventuress of her generation — is terminally bored. She is tired of life as an emissary of that powerful and mysterious race, the Viyrans. She has grown weary of her role as an expendable agent in their ceaseless quest to eliminate contagion across the universe. Her work is repetitive and gruelling and has come to feel as if she hardly recognises herself. Very quietly, and without fuss, her heart is breaking. So when the Viyrans arrive at the edge of galaxy Brouhaha-Nine-Nine-Five, besides the bizarre and enigmatic space-time anomaly known as the Ever-and-Ever Prolixity, Charley is overjoyed at an opportunity for escape. It is a chance that she will be grateful to seize — but given what awaits her, she may, before long, come to wonder if she might not have been more careful about just what it is she has wished for...

Charley's first season is off to an interesting start. I've heard India Fisher do so many narrations in the past, that this felt not quite like a full-cast audio at points because it relied heavily on her narration. I did enjoy the vibes of the story, it starts with Charlie saving a finance bro, Robert, from a fun virus called the Obscurantist that has him saying weird words. After meeting what's apparently a rogue Viyran, Charlie escapes and goes into a crazy ass space thing called the Prolixity. The Viyrans aren't the most exciting thing in the world, but Charley is a good hang and the questing into the unknown was interesting. We'll see how the story develops.
