Territory Nouveau 17: Disarmed - a podcast by Michael Collins, Leon Barnes, Liam Higgins, Laura Coe

They’d seen to her in one of the clinics near the shuttle hub, under a full complement of armed freeholders. Mended up her broken and bruised wrists in freshly printed casts. Taken her knives, for what good that would do them. But she had not allowed anyone to tamper with the TrackingSoft chip inserted at the base of her neck. The golden tether connecting her to her quarry, who she’d been keeping tabs on since their engagement. Casperov would be damned if she let that miserable scrapheap get away.

The freeholders eventually let her rejoin her associate Houndstooth. A smile crept for the faintest moment across her face, seeing the bloody welt left by the impact of the bottle on Houndstooth’s forehead, but he was otherwise unharmed. Alistair had not seen her smile often, and she could read the confusion in his eyes like a pop-up book.

After a few hours in a cold, windowless room shuffling legal papers and smooth talking Freehold authorities, they’d come away with their freedom, knowing the softer approach was no longer viable. They’d underestimated their opposition. The kid gloves needed to come off.

The TrackingSoft had triangulated the bot’s position to a local dive on Beta, where it had stayed for the past few hours. She was sure the others were there with them, and if not it would still be a fine opportunity for a little revenge.

In today’s episode, the game is still afoot as the Freelancers keep up the cat and mouse act with an injured and abashed Houndstooth and Casperov. What lengths will the deadly duo go to in their hunt for Otto Von Furstenberg? Hunker down, mark all the exits, and answer your dang comlink!
