The Nature of Old Soldier's Polka
From the mountains to the desert. A few small towns are eking out a meager existence in the shadow of a huge Inbit transmission tower. Stick and the other rebels, still on their journey to Reflex Point, must find a way around or through the Inbit hive. Unfortunately, some members of the group have other things to deal with as well. Stick and Rey are captured by a local police force, and a local thief force steals their Ride Armors. Yellow and Aisha are taken in by some equipment wholesalers who just happen to be comrades of the thieves who stole Stick and Rey's Ride Armor. It turns out that these thieves are ex-Mars Base soldiers, who fought against Inbit right after they captured the Earth. They quit the service, they had seen too much war. By the time Stick finds the thieves, Yellow has heard their story and forgiven them for their cowardice. Stick does not forgive them so easily, they earn his respect only when they show up in a battle against the Inbit, when they sacrifice their lives to destroy the hive. It is a haunting episode, filled with duty, love, remorse, and forgiveness.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015. 

Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
