Zalto the Hutt is dead.  His grip on Socorro severed, much to the elation of the criminal Triumvirate that governs the planet.  But before his corpulent corpse can cool, the fearless fringers Elo and Beegax must enact the rest of their plan to throw Socorro into chaos in order to escape the system. Their troubles far from over, Beegax and Elo scramble to keep their element of surprise as The Empire’s shadow looms in its search for the surly dug slicer and his stolen Imperial intelligence.  Will the crime lord Triumvirate keep their end of a bitter bargain?  Will a swift retaliation come from the Hutt home world?  Will the Empire crack down on this frontier town?  Freedom hangs in the balance for our star weary wanderers.

The cards are dealt, all bets are off, and the crew of The Way have made a plan to deal with not only their blackmail blues, but the criminal leaders on the dusty frontier of Socorro.  Elo and Beegax once again head to the unfinished casino of Zalto the Hutt to enact the first step of their clever but dangerous ploy. Will they manage to play both sides and beat the House?  Or Will their numbers come up 86?  The stakes and the aces have never been higher, and when the chips are down the fringers may need to push their luck.   ‼️IMPORTANT LINKS‼️ Raphael Warnock Campaign -  Donate or Volunteer! - https://warnockforgeorgia.com/ @ReverendWarnock John Ossof Campaing - Donate or Volunteer! - https://electjon.com/ @Ossoff Fair Fight - Fighting For Voter Education and Against Voter Suppression - https://fairfight.com/ @FairFightAction @StaceyAbrams Act Blue - Raising money for progressive groups and Democratic candidates   For more info and scheduling follow @RespectTheCrit Host & GM - Ian Duncan @iduncs Elo - Jamie Lee-Bonés @jamielee.bones Beegax Botano - Alex Herrera @aeherrera Whatever the system, whether it's a miss or a hit, you always gotta respect the crit!   Original music provided with license or permissions by: "Solo Fan Made"  - Luis Humanoide  "Star Wars Epic Cover I" - Parademics "The Madalorian Season 2 Trailer Music Epic Version" - Samuel Kim Music from Filmmusic.io "Tempting Secrets" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Indore" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Master Disorder" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Industrial Cinematic" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Long Note Two" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Scattershot" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Grave Blow" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Sugar Fairies" by Rafael Krux License: CC BY "Heroic Trailer" by Rafael Krux License: CC BY "Gunslinger" by Alexander Nakarada License: CC BY "Cinematic Suspense Series Ep. 004" by Sascha Ende License: CC BY "OldSanJ" by Lilo Sound License: CC BY "His Eyes Are Fire (Drums)" by Loe Wen Klang License: CC BY Additional music by Pro Scores from Video Copilot Learn more about your ad choices.

Once again the fringers Elo and Beegax made a climatic escape from Socorro’s walled city.  Only this time they have joined with Bothan spy, Gir Tu'Tey, the elusive son of Elo’s former master.  With their search for Gir finally over, Beegax and Elo can now focus on escaping Socorro alive. Extorted by the Triumvirate, in deep with Zalto the Hutt, hounded by Imperials, and still pursued by assailants, the fringers mouths have talked them into corners their feet might have trouble walking out of.  The duo may be facing down more enemies than they ever have before, but for the first time they may also have more allies at their backs.   ‼️IMPORTANT LINKS‼️ Raphael Warnock Campaign -  Donate or Volunteer! - https://warnockforgeorgia.com/ @ReverendWarnock John Ossof Campaing - Donate or Volunteer! - https://electjon.com/ @Ossoff Fair Fight - Fighting For Voter Education and Against Voter Suppression - https://fairfight.com/ @FairFightAction @StaceyAbrams   For more info and scheduling follow @RespectTheCrit Host & GM - Ian Duncan @iduncs Elo - Jamie Lee-Bonés @jamielee.bones Beegax Botano - Alex Herrera @aeherrera Whatever the system, whether it's a miss or a hit, you always gotta respect the crit!   Original music provided with license or permissions by: "Solo Fan Made"  - Luis Humanoide  "Star Wars Epic Cover I" - Parademics "Luke and Leia Theme Epic Cinematic Version" & "The Mandalorian Suite Epic Orchestral Mix" - Samuel Kim "The Way of Light" & "The Force Awakens Tribute" - William Maytook "The Force Theme Extended" & "Order 66 Piano Theme" - Lucas King Music from Filmmusic.io "Moonlight Beach" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Peaceful Desolation" by Kevin MacLeod License: CC BY "Desert Night" by Sascha Ende License: CC BY "Artemis" by Sascha Ende License: CC BY "Spy Story" by Winne The Moog License: CC BY "Big Eyes" by Rafael Krux License: CC BY "Suspenseful Cinematic Ambient" by MusicLFiles License: CC BY Learn more about your ad choices.
