Crusher O'Malley, owner of Luciano's, needs a way off of Echo.  He was pointed to The Leviathan as Agents of SAINT.  Why is he in such a hurry to leave and what trouble will it bring the crew?  Become a patron at www.patreon.com/remalternis to get episodes a week early! 

The tritonium they retrieved from the Gambler's Luck was supposed to just be unstable.  Turns out, it's been weaponized.  Now the crew of the Leviathan must deal with that and find a way to dispose of it, preferably without dying in the process.  Join the Rem Alternis Patreon to get releases a week early at https://www.patreon.com/remalternis

A commotion on the streets of planet Echo.  Only this time, the crew of the Leviathan didn't cause it.  One question remains: Will they end it, or make things worse?  Join the Rem Alternis Patreon to get releases a week early at https://www.patreon.com/remalternis

Finally on board the Gambler's Luck, Berk and B'roos must deal with the 3 still conscious guards. This means trusting Kazwren and Flinth to watch their backs and keep suspicion off of them. 

The Leviathan returns to Echo, meeting with the bounty hunter Korvad once again. Despite the failed attempt at a hand over, Korvad doesn't take it personally.  Instead, to make them even, he's got another job for them.

B'roos' past actions come back to haunt him (and the crew of the Leviathan). Maybe next time he will think twice about stealing from random accounts.    Anyone want to take bets?

Hailed by a mercenary ship upon attempting to enter Las Monaco, the Leviathan runs afoul of simple space pirates before they're able to figure out how their prisoner changed form... or changed places with a lady of the night... or whatever actually happened with Nimbly.

The crew of the Leviathan is approached with another job offer while relaxing on Planet Echo. A Vulkolasi bounty hunter named Korvad has tracked down a target, but has no ship to make good on the bountry. He offers a split, the team takes Nimbly, a slippery accountant, to Las Monaco, turn him in as licensed bounty hunters, and they split the money. Easy, right?

The team lands successfully on Planet Echo, only one of their faces known to the general public. The challenge now is to find someone whose face, race and gender they do not know.  What could possibly go wrong?

TW: Mention of Suicide It's the team's first job together, all working to make good for their various crimes. Yet before they even reach the surface of the planet Echo, things have already gone wrong.

Who is the crew? How did they come together? How does someone nearly poison themself before the game even begins? Listen on to find out.
