41.1978.A was an unreleased webcast by Realms of Ink, originally set for release in March 2022. Produced by Xavier Llewellyn with Aristide Twain, this webcast — framed as an in-universe advertisement for Gevity, a fictitious brand of energy drink — would've expanded on the character Epsilon. However, due to Price's dissatisfaction with the final cut and the creative differences with the actors in the short, it was ultimately cancelled.[1]
The webcast would've also had a framing narrative of a case file documenting an investigation undertaken by C.R.U.X. into the drink, circa early 1985.[1]
Plot
Case file 41.1978.A documents C.R.U.X.'s investigation into Epsilon Enterprises in early 1985, around seven years after the company was founded. They discovered that the drink was good as advertised and that it was launched to exploit the Winter of Discontent, but struggled to uncover any information about the business due to it shutting down just a year later, in 1979.
An advertisement is included in the case file, which featured John Brown, the company's CEO, explaining the benefits of 'Gevity™ with demonstrations of the product.[1]
