The other adventures mentioned in modern-day Seattle-Tacoma for public transit education adventures in style of something similar to "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. / Marvel Universe-type setting" / foiling a villain's plans to cause zombie apocalypse using the public transit system, should be available after June 6th on the RPG Research website, though anything specifically referencing those properties will probably only be obliquely described, but not directly used so as to avoid any licensing conflicts.
