Ep 19: When Corporate Hellscapes Freeze Over

While Anton takes one last shot at obtaining a fancy new fighter ship, Mackie gives his favorite kid a tour of the Admiral Grace. Turns out our Mr. Mackie has a Tragic Backstory (tm) after all and at least some of that surprise brain surgery from Hopper might actually be a good thing. Anton rejoins the crew just in time to get the galley fires under control and the team finally heads to Glasir IV. This new corporate hellscape looks to be a whole lot sturdier than the last, which is good because this one comes complete with an orbital laser prepped to explode anyone who commits violence on the planet's surface. Will our intrepid crew hold it together long enough to get paid or will the temptation of testing out the Dove of Peace overcome their instinct for self preservation?If you enjoy the show, please follow us on your favorite platform for new episodes every Wednesday.
