Cyberpunk Independence

The Pizza Punks continue their fight against Arasaka...and once again learn disturbing news about Alleycat's family. 

The pizza punks are rolling down the street, with the thoughts of their deceased friend not far in the rear view.

Then they get interrupted...by Arasaka.

The pizza punks are trying to find their old friend Billie...it doesn't go as they'd hope. 

Fuck it. Let it burn.

Listener discretion is advised: contains some scenes which some listeners may find disturbing. 

The gang are in the belly of Biotechnica's menagerie and have no plan to escape. They need to: liberate Sofia, get the information they need on their friends, convince Slyxx to have a shower, and try not to die.

Not necessarily in that order.

Deross and Slyxx weren't always legends - in fact, they weren't even always friends. This is the story of their first job together. 

Tab and Slimy Pete are planning for the Halloween Party, but frankly, their ideas are...dangerous. And we are not insured. 

Balzac and Alleycat should never be alone together. Period. 

The team finally reach Biotechnica and each of them is tense. Balzac because he was mostly ignored, Tab because she is hiding 7 otters inside her coat, Alleycat…because that’s just who she is as a person, De Ross because he’s slowly realizing he should not have said yes to any of this, and Slyxx because events of late have made him angry.

How these people have not been killed by now should be a topic of much discussion…

The Pizza Punks plan (and fail) to plan while trying to figure out their next steps on the trail of their missing friends. 

Balzac gets no respect and something might be seriously wrong with Slyxx...

There are no words to effectively describe this episode. 

Content warning: this episode includes a combat against animals and some situations people may find disturbing. Listener discretion is advised.

Things go from bad to worse as the Pizza Punks' plane begins crashing...and THEN tab begins opening animal cages.

The Pizza Punks manage to sneak into Biotechnica, with the help of Sofia, and board their Gyrocopter to Lake Isabella. 

Tab opens cages and bad things happen. 

The Pizza Punks finally meet De Ross, Slyxx's long time ally...but the welcome isn't nearly as warm as they expected. 

The Pizza Punks snag what's left of the loot from their streetfight with Militech and the 6th street gang, but they try and make a quick retreat before reinforcements come.

Then, they head out to see an old friend who might have news on an other old friend, who themselves have an old friend that might contribute.

There are some callbacks in this episode, is what I'm saying.

The Pizza Punks have it all planned out: they need to make it looked like some gangers and some militech traitors turned on each other.

Why? They don't really know, but they're doing it for Rogue, and that's all they need to know.

This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends, not with a whisper...but a series of loud bangs.

Slyx takes “Dino” for a ride around Letitia Heights and somewhere...else.

Balzac decides it's a good time to write...

Tab is trying to make some extra eddies by doing telephone tech support and her success varies.

Alleycat is looking for someone...and she has a good idea where they might be...

The Punks find themselves at Afterlife, one of the most famous nightclubs ever, to meet Tab's mentor Gray.

While there they honour a fallen compatriot and dance the night away.

The Pizza Punks are confronted by a metal monstrosity, but hey they found their dog, so things ain't all bad.

Well. Unless they all die.

The Pizza Punks and Balzac finally get to Letitia Heights and its a ghost town. They're searching for Slimy Pete who may have been locked in a freezer for four days.

Draw your own conclusions about what F stands for...

The gang find themselves at Mrs. Hollingsworth's house and all does not go well Balzac.

Tab and Alleycat find a kindred spirit, and Slyxx...well. Slyxx is...not himself. But also is himself. It's weird. Like Slyxx.

The heroes make their way cautiously into the home of Mister Bates, in search of the fabled hand-cannon of Johnny Silverhand, the Malorian Arms. 

Let's just say it does not go to plan.

Our plucky miscreants meet an alligator in the sewers. And it doesn't end the way you'd expect...

Once their sewer surprise is dealt with, they begin some mild B&E in search of the most famous hand cannon of them all: Johnny Silverhand's Malorian Arms. 

The gang, fresh off their meeting with his ratliness, have a conundrum: how do they find a legendary gun missing for more than 20 years?

Especially when it's tucked right in the centre of beaverville, at the heart of the corporate zone. 

Oh, the things we do for pete-...za.

The Pizza Punks, Tab, Slyxx, and Alleycat, and Balzac are finally introduced to the Rat King, whom they hope will give them safe passage to Letitia Heights, and their old friend Slimy Pete.

The Rat King however...has some demands.

Slyxx, despite his better judgment, has sought the assistance of the Rat King...with whom he's had dealings in the past.

But unfortunately, the not to distant past comes back to haunt him and his friends in the form of a N@ZI Cyborg...

There's some dissention in the ranks as an old friend makes an appearance...well...more than just one, actually. And the group needs to decide what to do. About a lot of things.

Slyxx and Alleycat begin to recover from their desperate fight with their enemies but it's clear Slyxx is being weighed down by the events of the day. A lot's happened.

Tab and Balzac meanwhile start shooting people and don't really stop 'til everyone's dead. Oh, and Balzac tried to ride a motorhome.

Get your earholes ready, 'cause a LOT happens in this one.

It's hard to laugh when you're in constant fear of death. But they manage. Somehow.

The Pizza Punks aren't in much better shape this week as their options include a flamethrower or a 40 story descent...

After the events of Season 1, the pizza punks find themselves in the clutches of Arasaka corporation.

Things do not go well. 

Give us a hand, and lend us an ear: Season 2 begins NOW.

Tab tries to decorate for the holidays, but Max the dog decides to "help" and get unbearably tangled up in twinkle lights, and she seeks out Alleycat (the dog whisperer) for assistance in rescuing him. More importantly, they discuss what they're getting everybody else for the holidays.

Explosive revelations rock the Pizza Punks as they grapple with their loss.
