11/25/20 • 68 min
With Mackie on the run from Hilde, Anton finally gets a moment to himself. Unfortunately, that moment very quickly descends into either a futuristic hockey game or an all out brawl, possibly both! A call from upstairs yanks the crew back on track as they continue to work out just why exactly the mysterious Mr. Cho got them to Aegea. Finally, Starmaster Stan and the cast get a little silly with a special message for the holiday.
This week we want to wish everyone in the US a very happy Thanksgiving (and all of our other listeners a very happy last Wednesday/Thursday of November)! We hope you all are finding ways to celebrate (yes, even if you're just celebrating that it's Wednesday/Thursday) and enjoy friends and family as much as possible in this strange year.

Ep 5: Don't Be a Total Party Kill, Man
Now that Mackie has his best bow tie all clipped on and everything the crew is ready to call back Anton's ex and attend a swanky underwater affair at La Casa Del Hombre Elegante. Anton repeatedly tries to explain the difference between an invite to party and an invite to A party while Hilde tries to figure out how to fit in. Meanwhile, Mackie is on the hunt for the buffet table as Hopper tries frantically to keep him from accidental harm. The whole event heats up when the crew discovers an impromptu hockey game taking place in the Casa's art gallery complete with terra cotta warrior goalies and priceless objets de'art in peril. Will Mackie's quick thinking distract Hilde long enough to keep her from picking a fight over these priceless artifacts? Find out this week (and maybe next) on Astronomica!

Ep 7: Let's Rob This Dude
Finally on-task, the crew heads to the swanky part of the ship for some good old fashioned looting. Oh, and they'll probably keep an eye open for Sergei guy just in case he has a clue about what is actually going on here. Mackie strikes a pose in his brand new rich dude robe before finding an extremely valuable - and potentially dangerous - black box. Meanwhile Hilde finally finds a way to tap into the ship's main systems and Anton strikes out in the loot department. A secret panel reveals the enigmatic Mr. Sergei just as Bridget and company realize something odd is going on. Hopefully those newly discovered ship's systems will help the crew get out of a jam or Anton will definitely have some explaining to do.
