Territory Nouveau 13: In the Clear

Play By Podcast

Two years. Two years since Trilly had dared to set down on Miranda. When she was a little girl, running errands for the Vory on Titan, she’d heard the rumors about this place even then. She’d come up substantially in the trade since, but the rumors remained. If there was ever a place that gave Trilly the shivers, it was Miranda.

And yet here she was.

When one spoke of Miranda within the Commonwealth, it was with eyes that were fixed to the wall ahead, in words drawn out from the corner of one's mouth. Miranda was the devil that would steal your face if you so much as met eyes with it. The boogeyman of the Lunar colonies.

And yet again, for a second goddamn time, here she was. Waiting for a pickup that might never come. Waiting to get pinched by a few trigger-happy Jovian doughboys in their shiny suits of 20-foot-tall armor.

But she was here for a reason. A damn good one, she knew. Morgen had asked her to save Bete, and now Bete had returned the favor.

Something cosmic in that, she thought.

In today’s episode, the Freelancers make their way out of the Mirandan base, but first Scarlett and Otto need to pay a visit to the lab of one Doctor Birch. Plus, a look at the war back home as the Jovian Lunar Commonwealth continues its campaign against the Rectified Solar Union. In this episode: stealthy slips, anthro-hybrids, and one hell of a getaway!
