Territory Nouveau 10: Welcome to Miranda

Play By Podcast

There was this saying in the old world, a long time ago: “the guilty always return to the scene of the crime” they said.

For folks like me, who do the illegal well and do it often, we’ve taken this old adage and made our own use of it. In a backwards kind of way, anyway. In the circles of smugglers, runners, spys, and info brokers, the sentiment is a little different.

The guilty should never return. Never hit the same spot, attack the same target, never be in the same place, never work with the same people. You cannot go home again. And if a job requires it. Find a different job. There’s plenty more dirt to get on your hands in the Territory.

But here I am breaking the only rule in my profession. Back in the exact spot I pulled Bete from a couple years back. Knowing the kind of grudges the Kennet’s hold, statute of limitations is probably still up on that one. All it would take is one lucky Jovian patrol.

Whatever happens to me on this run is my own fault. Just need to make sure if something does go sideways it doesn’t fall back on Bete and their friends.

In today’s episode, the Freelancers are headed back to Bete’s homeworld, the Jovian moon Miranda. But travel takes time, and too much time trapped in the cramped quarters of the Jackknife Soliloquy could be disastrous to our team. Will our heroes maintain composure or will their tempers flare? Expect a little rambling to pass the time, some much needed suit deodorizing, and an explosive setback all straight ahead.
