Tales from Wild Space: IG-88 vs. the Gatto Gang


On a planetoid in Wild Space, Emil Graf, CR-8R "Crater", and BB-00 "Boo" were busy trying to get mynocks off their starship, the Star Herald. Crater recommended that Graf try a more "softer" approach to getting the mynocks. Graf did not understand what he meant and Crater offered to explain.

Many years earlier, the assassin droid, IG-88B was given the task of capturing the Gatto Gang who owned a lot of money to the Black Sun. As IG-88 was walking through a market, the gang noticed him and split up. One of the the gang members, Moggee made a run for it. He connected three Energy binders in order to get IG-88 electrocuted. Realizing what was going on, IG-88 instead lifted the lever, causing Moggee to be electrocuted by the energy binders.

Another gang member, Ziggee was running across the tops of stores and shouting at IG-88 to try to get him. Ziggee went to go make a leap across a building but slammed into a billboard in front of IG-88.

The final gang member, Sylvestarr ran into a store and grabbed a jetpack and a helmet. But the jetpack flew off and Sylverstarr stayed on the ground. IG-88 came by with the other gang members and they all walked off.

Back on the Star Herald, Emil Graf was able to catch all the mynocks, taking Crater's advice to take his time and not to rush.
