Hey hey, my name is Jexx. I create the storylines and promos for Seasons. I'll be more active on Discord to help bring clarity to the changes we are bringing to Seasons from a promotional standpoint. Former security dude, fool of all trades. 
Do me a favor, make sure to take the Season surveys. I want your input moving forward. Constructive criticism is how we get somewhere we both agree on.
That being said...
SEASON 5 drops starts April 20th! The theme for this Season is inspired by the old internet anomalies hosted on the SCP wiki. Their online team even helped us in creating our own slice of internet lore.
