Reverb in Blue: Session 2
RECAP
Minus their lead singer, the Blueshift Echoes receive an invitation to do a private performance for recording executive Habeth Farjam. Afterward, Farjam offers to sponsor the band to perform at the Flutterplume Club, a speakeasy run by a business rival named Engothian Gozer. Only there's a catch to Farjam's offer: She needs the band to recover a CZ-series business droid she gifted to Gozer to spy on him (or at least to recover its memory).
The Echoes are desperate for gigs after Nubia's City Council has outlawed alien-majority bands from performing in public. They scope out the supposed venue with little luck. Their monorail ride to the club is quite eventful. First, a strange man with stolen droids tries to droidnap BD-BD and Genius; second, a young man makes off with Raysel's makeup kit. The band replaces the kit and pursues the droid thief; the trail leads to a sketchy shop run by Nosaurians who buy "used" droids.
Jessa convinces the Nosaurians that some of the stolen droids belong to the Echoes, so the Nosaurians introduce Jessa and Targus to Hazz, a Duros droid tech who works for Engothain Gozer. Hazz reveals that the stolen droids were brought to an underground droid-fighting arena associated with the club. With time running short, Jess and Targus leave the droids for now and follow Hazz into the venue. Meanwhile, their companions go in through the secret laundromat entrance...
