Episode 17: The Sweet Smell of the Fairgrounds

In which the "Steves" from an annoying but highly motivated and skilled capitalist species, the Dilurians, come to The Fairgrounds, renting a downshifted and unused level, from which they proceed to wreak havoc across the entire space station. As their new business, Cadabra, expands rapidly from selling personalized smells, they begin, in less than a day, to gentrify across the station, wiping out all the beloved homegrown businesses and replacing them with more-convenient apps providing far worse service. On top of it, Commander Torianna discovers she will have to avert an actual massacre as the Dilurians attempt to expand into the sector of the Pudendar, a proud and exiled species of warrior artists uninterested in and offended by the commercial offerings.     EPISODE SEVENTEEN "The Sweet Smell of the Fairgrounds" written by Amanda La Pergola and Philip Cruise   featuring Zuri Washington as Delilah "Dee" Mallory, Docking Clerk, X.Z.
