Weekend Star Warriors

Sorry for the long wait. Bit of data loss (about 2 years' worth of episodes.) We managed to recover some of the data, but it will take a while to go through it all and see how much was saved. Rest assured, we are being extra careful with our re-recordings and backing them up in several locations.  But onto the episode: the start of the midnight battle against 30 combat arachnids, with our heroes backed up by the Emerald Squad. Note that the vision/dream Liliana has is based on our first time recording this adventure. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/weekendstarwarriors/support

While Ping Pong fights off the effects of the Glitterstim, Shogo and Maklaw interrogate the junkie she got the drug from. But sometimes villain and victim is not black and white --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/weekendstarwarriors/support

All that glitters is not gold. Sometimes it is spice. Ping Pong has just ingested one of the most dangerous drugs in the Star Wars Galaxy, and proceeds to trip out while Maklaw does his best to keep a junkie from cutting her open to get the drug back. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/weekendstarwarriors/support

Liliana's parents have proven themselves to have been far more welcoming than expected. Highly grateful to Maklaw for saving their daughter, the Emeralds furnished him with the rare alcohol: Wookie Bowel Basher, of which Zyzzix and Ping pong had a small sample. In the aftermath, Andrew Emerald starts up the karaoke machine.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/weekendstarwarriors/support

A serious dinnertime talk is just hours away. Liliana will have to explain to her Imperial Governor mother what she has been doing over the past months. Hopefully neither she nor her friends will let slip sensitive topics: such as the fact that they killed over a hundred stormtroopers, blew up the Emperor's retreat, and sabotaged an Imperial bioweapons project. Let the awkward family drama commence.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/weekendstarwarriors/support

"We're going to Empire Land!" An amusement park set right outside of the Emperor's retreat. Officially built to allow the public to have fun and experience the glory of their ruler first hand. Unofficially built to provide a constant civilian meat shield around the retreat to dissuade attacks by the Rebel Alliance, and blame any casualties on Rebel raids, regardless of the cause of death. Our heroes have forked over the exorbitant price to get in, and are "pretending" to enjoy themselves while they await the signal to infiltrate the retreat.
