We’re back with the epic conclusion to Gotterdamien! Stray Thoughts team member Damien Carmello is set to face off against his fork, Damien Gorello, in a no-holds-barred deathmatch for control of Legba. In order to further stack the odds in C’s favor, Stardust issues her own challenge, making the fight a three-way battle. The only snag about this arrangement is that, by the rules of the combat, only one person can walk out of the ring alive. With the rest of the team serving as support, Damien and Stardust enter the arena, but can they defeat G’s combat-maximized neo-porcine? And even if they do, which one of them will claim final ownership of the slaver’s sanctuary? Find out, this week on Stray Thoughts!

This week, The Stray Thoughts team heads to the most vile, dangerous place in the solar system, Legba! The former headquarters of the Nine Lives Cartel is still every bit as lawless and treacherous, but now one of Damien’s forks has taken control. Damien Gorello rules the asteroid with poison-tipped tusks in a tricked-out neo-porcine morph, but he has given up his brothers’ dream of fomenting a slave rebellion and instead simply revels in his power. Moreover, he has killed the surviving handful of Damiens and now holds most of their stacks on his person at all times. With the assistance of Yarmello, another fork who avoided the purge by playing toady, Damien Carmello and the rest of the team issue a public challenge for control of the station. In order to rescue his forks, Damien will have to defeat one of them in gladiatorial combat. Can his friends help him ensure victory?

This week, the Stray Thoughts team heads to Hollywoodland, a high-priced amusement park in Lunar orbit where nostalgic hyperelites can meet and solicit sex from dead celebrities. Strapper’s former contact, a Firewall operative known as Omen, is using the park as cover, and is currently sleeved into an Elvis Presley legacy morph somewhere inside. She was the last person to have possession of Strapper’s seed, the amputated parts of his code that could turn him into a recursively self-improving AI if re-integrated with his current instance. Can the ex-Sentinels locate Omen in a tourist trap for the undying rich? Listen to find out!
