Episodes

  • Episode 534: Ventricle Razor

    September 1st, 2020  |  14 mins 34 secs

    Recklessly jamming the device's activation button, Stargash had no time to scream as his body was instantly immolated.

  • Episode 533: The Void

    August 30th, 2020  |  16 mins 47 secs

    Cornered, and on the verge of being literally drowned in debt, Stargash could see only two options: Acceptance, or the activation of the Rapid Reincarnation Device hanging from his neck—and while neither appealed, the latter had the advantage of being extraordinarily irresponsible, as well.

  • Episode 532: Tech X

    August 29th, 2020  |  15 mins 42 secs

    But the terrain was terrible; the worm-corridor was already enturbulated by the mental residue of Chil'trox's message, and the increasing spasms of its hallway-gullies left the mercenary with barely enough room to dodge the first reaching claw.

  • Episode 531: Marked

    August 27th, 2020  |  16 mins 17 secs

    The strike was, by no means, coincidental; barely sentient, Loan Crabs could smell frustration and money from far across the psychic seas, and Stargash was suddenly swimming in both.

  • Episode 530: Serpent's Kiss

    August 25th, 2020  |  15 mins 34 secs

    None of which would matter if he had his consciousness bisected by the deadly memo-claw of the Loan Crab that had taken advantage of his psychic reverie to close the distance between them.

  • Episode 529: The Frail

    August 23rd, 2020  |  24 mins 11 secs

    Stargash reeled, both from the sudden burst of synaptic feedback, as well as the realization that, whatever Chil'trox needed done, he was willing to shell out for a brand-new Multiple Utopia Disintegrator—the only weapon capable of making the Universe worse just by firing it—to get someone to take care of the problem.

  • Episode 528: Zodiac

    August 22nd, 2020  |  14 mins 33 secs

    "The funds will be deposited through the normal series of death drops," he grumbled, then cut the psychic connection with a burst of memetic hyperstatic that would contain the specifics of Stargash's mission.

  • Episode 527: Betrayal

    August 20th, 2020  |  13 mins 18 secs

    But to Stargash's shock, the bureaucrat's jowly avatar didn't even blink.

  • Episode 526: Seraphim

    August 18th, 2020  |  14 mins 54 secs

    "And I'll need a new MUD"—an audacious request, inserted only so that Chil'trox would have something to easily reject.

  • Episode 525: Counterfeit Penny

    August 16th, 2020  |  19 mins 57 secs

    "Second, I'll need a big enough advance to keep my creditors off my back for at least a cycle, unless you want B0b M1n0t4ur crashing into this op like a bull in a space-china shop."

  • Episode 524: Rune Bag

    August 15th, 2020  |  19 mins 56 secs

    Facing no immediate opposition from the bureaucrat's psycho-organic avatar, Stargash continued: "I'll need time and funds to assemble a team; at the very least, a chronohacker, a skizz samurai, and a druid."

  • Episode 523: Key Bum

    August 13th, 2020  |  13 mins 18 secs

    "I'll do it," he grumbled, "But only on three conditions"; he actually only had two, but this was what the Business Masters Of Zen-Town 4 called "galactic-level brain negotiation."

  • Episode 522: Censer

    August 11th, 2020  |  17 mins 21 secs

    But the ugly fact was, Stargash did need the work; payments were coming due on his new Luxury Lung, and he'd already seen the telltale signs of a Loan Crab lingering on his psychic periphery.

  • Episode 521: Dark Room

    August 9th, 2020  |  18 mins 30 secs

    That was the irritating thing about Chil'trox; he could wield ambiguity like a scalpel, never ordering you to "murder 4 million cosmo-babies" when an "investigate and correct The Situation" would suffice.

  • Episode 520: The D12

    August 8th, 2020  |  21 mins 32 secs

    "A planet on the Outer Rim is in danger of a Level-6 reality incursion," the bureaucrat moistly intoned, "And I need you to make sure it stays quiet."

  • Episode 519: Bumbo

    August 6th, 2020  |  15 mins 11 secs

    Ignoring the mercenary's quiet dismay, Chil'trox continued, lips smacking as saliva dripped down his chin and deep into his crannies.
