Epidoes 003

In this glorious descent into glitter and chaos, we go full girlboss. This week’s focus: Captain Cheyenne — pilot, captain, and capitalist icon of the Sunshine. The crew breaks down her ship, her motivations, and her secret army of unpaid interns. Is she driven by greed? Glory? Orphanage-related trauma? Depends which scene you're watching.

Also featuring:

• The origin of her golden Russian nesting doll ship

• Debates over corporate rank (and why Tracy is salty)

• Munitions officers who only want to blow stuff up

• Intern cult logistics

• Worldbuilding via anime logic and expense reports

This is the episode where we realize… Cheyenne might technically outrank the main character.
