Ep 21: Drones and Droids and Bots, Oh My!

The crew prepares to meet their mysterious contact for a completely above board and not at all shady hand off of the smuggled AI core. Hilde finally digs into her new drone and discovers it is even cooler than she thought it would be. Before long, DefConDoc shows up and turns out to be a punk kid with a wicked fashion sense. Unfortunately there is no time to get to know this dapper fellow as a bevy of mall cop robots start pouring out of the walls and blasting away at DefConDoc and his henchman. Will the crew stand with their new contacts or scurry away secure in the knowledge that they've already been paid? If you've listened this far, the answer might surprise you!If you enjoy the show, please follow us on your favorite platform for new episodes every Wednesday.
