Summary

The Chime, our intrepid group of freelance investigators and problem solvers, managed to survive their encounter with the mercenary band known as The Weightless. But many questions remain unanswered: Who are The Weightless. What have they done with Cene Sixheart? What does Orth Godlove of the Consolidated Counterweight Technocracy know about all of this? And who, or what, are the angels of Counterweight? Mako Trig (Keith Carberry) and Aria Joie (Ali Acampora) devise a cunning (and absurd) plan to answer these questions. AuDy (Jack de Quidt) and Cassander (Art Tebbel), meanwhile, have a much more direct approach in mind.

0:35.6	It just kind of worked out that way. So here it is and enjoy it. This week and next week, by the way,

1:11.2	In the corner of the room lies a seemingly ruined black meck, a modified rook with the king designation, its heads and arms torn apart by a plasma blast.
1:22.0	Just as some of the cleaning bots begin to approach it, plasma blast.
1:23.0	Just as some of the cleaning bots begin to approach it, a light in its cockpit blinks on.
1:29.0	A monitor shutters to life and reads, automatic rendezvous, destination, snow track lab, tau.
