On its face, this was a light fun episode however there is a tinge of darkness that overshadows this week’s story. Cid’s underworld associations run deep. This week we are introduced to a Dowutin gangster named Millegi. It is apparent they have a long history of dealing together, some of which are not pleasant.
Cid enlists Wrecker, Tech and Omega to be her muscle as she travels to Safa Toma watch her racer compete and hopefully make her a pile of credits. Cid acquired not only the speeder but also a droid named TAY-O to pilot it. TAY-O presents as a puffed up, arrogant being who has an inflated sense of ego. It would be interesting to meet the individual who made him that way.
Riot Racing is dangerous not only to the racers but to spectators as well. Blaster bolts are fired indiscriminately and there are no protective barriers for the onlookers.
When it came time to pay up, Millegi was not going to accept a later pay day. Omega stepped up the plate and stated that they would do another race. Tech had been studying the route, the speeders, and the race in general. As they were repairing the speeder and TAY-O, Wrecker remarked that they should just break Cid out. Tech correctly surmised that Millegi would exact unpleasant revenge on all of them if they chose Wrecker’s solution.
Tech helped put TAY-O back together and it appeared that they were going to learn from the previous day’s mistake. However, TAY-O was destroyed by a crashing speeder whilst arrogantly telling Tech he was wrong about how to conduct the race.
