Episode description
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.
This episode of COUNTER/Weight: " It's Fine, We're Criminals"
There's nothing like a little breaking and entering!
Plot
Opening
“
AUSTIN: As the sun sets at the edge of the horizon, smoke pours out of a launch bay at Counterweight’s Addax-Rethal Spaceport. Inside the bay, hygieni-bots go to work, scrubbing and scraping away the blast residue from the brief encounter between the Chime, your group of freelance problem solvers, and the mercenary band known as the Weightless. In the corner of the room lies a seemingly ruined black mech, a modified Rook with the King designation, its heads and arms torn apart by a plasma blast. Just as some of the cleaning bots begin to approach it, a light in its cockpit blinks on. [SFX: powering on] A monitor shudders to life and reads, "Automatic rendezvous. Destination: Snowtrak Lab Tau." And then the machine shakes itself awake, and in a moment, it pierces the smoke and takes to the sky.”
