Thides Cast Studio
residenceOne room doing three jobs — home, newsroom, and transmitter — lit by screens playing core-world shows that are months out of date and missing episodes.
A cramped residential unit in a poorly maintained corridor of MacMillian Station IV, barely ten feet across, serving as both the home of Pia Kadyrov and the entire physical plant of Thides Cast.
Overview
A cramped residential unit in a poorly maintained corridor of MacMillian Station IV, barely ten feet across, serving as both the home of Pia Kadyrov and the entire physical plant of Thides Cast. Media storage is stacked floor to ceiling, fiber-optic lines run in tangles across the floor, and broadcasting screens cycle re-broadcast core-world programming that arrives months late and with episodes missing.
Surveillance runs both ways here: Shackleton Magellan’s sweep found the room clean of unauthorised bugs, but Kadyrov keeps a camera mounted at the door, several drone cameras on the shelves in varying states of repair, and a cybernetic eye implant that records from her own point of view.
Points of Interest
- The door camera — always live.
- The drone shelf — several self-propelled recorders; one functional but powered down during the crew’s visit.
Appearances
- Session 4 (Session 04 - The Case of the Missing Courtesan) — The crew tracked Pia Kadyrov here and traded information: the Royale Hotel footage and Hildebrand Panza’s name, against her research and her silence. Six swept the room for threats and came close to destroying the equipment doing it; the exchange came closer still to ending in violence when Kadyrov’s phrase “your unknown origins” was misread.
