All the narrative threads started in The Bureau‘s live-action web shorts come together in this, its finaly entry: “The Aftermath.”

And when I say all of its narrative threads, I do mean all—what Agent Ennis Cole (played by Dominic Monaghan)found in that hay field (or perhaps what found him), the big reveal of Agent Carter’s hooded torture viction, and the most important thread of all:

The fate of Orbit the Clown.

Pour one out, homeslices, ’cause everybody has a bad day in this one.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (the game proper, developed by 2K Marin of BioShock 2 fame) launches on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 August 20 in North America, August 23 in Europe.
