Astronomica

With the team as prepped as they're ever going to be, the crew of the Admiral Grace charges headlong into danger with only the barest haze of a solid drunk between them and the knowledge of certain death. It's time to suit up and, in the words of a beautiful and sacred ancient Aegean proverb, f**k this chicken! (Yeah, we have questions, too)

It looks like the crew is ready to ignore all logic and self preservation as they plan their attack on the ominously intelligent pre-tech  Dove of Peace. Hilde's clone sib reluctantly agrees to help with the preparations and the team works to duct tape a few special munitions together in the hopes that at least one of them might survive. Sure, Stardaddy warned us this was a great idea (DMs, amiright?) but we remain resolute in trying to achieve the ever illusive total party kill. Who are we kidding, at this point Anton is a shoe in for the lone survivor gig, right?

It's a long one, y'all, and we're not just talking about Anton's...stories about Aegea (what did you think we meant?). This week the extremely refined crew of the Admiral Grace sits down to dinner with a whole monastery's worth of nuns. Mackie chats a bit with Dr. Theophania about the Dove of Peace while Hilde engages in theological discourse with Mother Marwazi herself. Later Anton and Hopper enjoy the after dinner entertainment while Mackie and Hilde introduce the good doctor to Terry Fizz and the Grace comes up with a plan to approach the Dove.

With their slight detour of hunting down and murdering GhostDotGov well and truly behind them, the crew finally makes their way to offload the artifact that brought them all together in the first place. Let it never be said that the Admiral Grace Limited Liability Corporation doesn't deliver...eventually! While Mackie gears up to wing man for Hilde with the Reliquary Institute's representative, Humberto Hollis, Anton demonstrates that he is still very much like this and gets his wink on with an attractive nun. Meanwhile, Hilde ignores Mackie's attempts and focuses sole attention on the mysteriously familiar woman standing at Hollis' side. Are we about to get some backstory for our dear Doctor Cade? Only one way to find out so, you know, click play already.

With vengeance served, the crew of the Admiral Grace realizes they're sitting on a ton of sweet loot. Mackie preps a special project while Anton gently loads up his brand new fighter and Hopper has serious questions about whether it's time to be a real boy. Meanwhile, Hilde and Grace attempt some very uncomfortable girl talk. The description is short but the shenanigans are plentiful so give us a listen and brighten your day by at least 27.23 percent! (Percentage not guaranteed, day brightening based on a nonscientific study of that one guy we talked to who really likes us)

This week the crew gets down to business interrogating Data Geist (aka GhostDotGov) on his involvement with the increasingly ominous Jeff Cho. Anton and Mackie ask some insightful questions while Hilde's excitement over her first conversation with a non-terran sentient quickly fades.  Later, the crew gathers to mourn their first true casualty with an impromptu funeral for everyone's favorite butt of the joke, the late Mr. Ren. It's a heavy episode but have no fear! The Astronomica crew takes every opportunity to insert our signature brand of dick jokes (heheh, "insert") whenever the vibes get too serious or, you know, we feel like it. Enjoy!

With our battle concluded, Team Meatbag regroups to deal with their primary objective: the likely location of the wily GhostDotGov aka DataGeist. But before they meet the mysterious potential mafioso, they've got to tend to Hopper and sort out at least some of this sweet loot just laying around. The newly liberated Squirtle Bells joins the team officially - well, is used as a meat shield in case DataGeist has any dangerous tricks still in the offing which is basically the same thing, right? - and the crew maintains an unusual level of focus in their mission of vengeance. Join us as we finally reveal the identity of GhostDotGov in this exciting installment of Astronomica!

If you thought part two of our epic train combat was intense, just wait till you click play on the final installment! This week ups the action with more explosions, more giant mooks cut down before their time, and more reasons NOT to blow up those enticing "fuel" tankers. Anton continues to live his best combat life while Hilde shows those ones and zeros who's boss. Meanwhile, Mackie discovers some brand new friends and tips Team Meatbag's moral compass back to the green. It looks like our intrepid adventurers get to be the Good Guys (tm) for the time being so tune in, tune out, and enjoy!

Combat mode engaged! As Anton makes his presence known on board the speeding train, the rest of the crew finally gets down to business. We've got dueling hackers, desperate sprints to hop on a moving train, and lots and lots of looking up the rules to make sure we're doing this thing right. Oh, and the ever present threat of the Dove of Peace ready to turn everything to goo just as soon as it figures out what's going on. If you thought the crew of the Admiral Grace was incompetent last time, just wait till you hit play on part 2 of this epic combat!

Good thing we put an asterisk on that "most competent crew in the multiverse" claim. With Operation: Barn Owl completely screwed, the crew of the Admiral Grace flounders around trying to remember what Anton taught them about combat situations. Meanwhile, Anton himself gets his action hero on and kicks off some serious shenanigans down in the crater. Will we see our very first character death or will the crew get their shit together in time to deal some decent damage? Only listening will give you the answer!
