This is a song that I've been completely obsessed with lately, and it has fueled much of my writing for Episode 10!
This is Curriculum 404 by Alexander Nakarada! Alexander has become a real favourite of mine these past couple of years, and I really admire his choice to stick with hand-crafted music over turning to AI like a lot of other royalty-free composers. Using non-AI assets in A6 is something that has, and always will be, very important to us.
We're planning on using this music in two different places in the upcoming episode. The slower-paced sections in a scene you'll see quite soon in the beta, when we finally find out what Zovack is broadcasting to the System, and the faster-paced in a showdown later on that I think will shock a lot of you! Any guesses?
For now, here's a little sneak peek at the first scene mentioned:
"He's going to keep killing them until I go to him. What if next time it's Alisa, or Zane?"
Damon says nothing, but by the way the muscle feathers in his jaw, I know he's thinking it too.
I turn to Calderon, his blue eyes hard and his shoulders steadfast.
"What if it's Nerissa?"
Cal opens his mouth to speak, before thinking better of it, instead shaking his head in defeat.
"Wait, Traveler. Just wait."
Commander Kwon steps forward to answer in the Captain's stead, his voice soft but firm.
"Would you wait? If you knew he had the people you care about, that he was hurting them, would you wait?"
"He does have the people we care about. He's been imprisoning Guard, and the people closest to us for weeks. Trying to keep us in line."
"Why haven't you done anything about it?"
"Because we don't have the strength to stand against him. Not yet."
