“Indeed,” replied Agent Celine, a sense of determination gleaming in her cybernetic eyes. “But duty calls, and I must report back to RCSC headquarters.”
As they bid farewell to their companions, Ed, the Alchemist, and Spacedawg, the trio embarked on a series of errands, weaving through the bustling streets of Vancouver Prime. Their first stop led them to the local bonds and bails office, where they hoped to find lucrative opportunities to supplement their income.
Inside, the Alchemist scanned the job board, his keen eyes discerning the details of various assignments. However, his search yielded only a handful of mundane tasks and low-value bounties.
Disappointment clouded their expressions until the bondsman approached, a knowing gleam in his eyes. He recognized Spacedawg from the famed advertisement for the Spacedawg PaulyBirth Name: PaulyCurrent Alias: Spacedawg PaulySpecies: Human-Canine HybridDate of Birth: February 22, 1973Place of Birth: Washington, D.C., United States, Earth, Sol SystemOccupations: Former Chef, Brewer, Distiller, Garden Worker, Apprentice Cobbler; Current First Mate on the Mandoleer's Folly, Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Space Cavalry (RCSC) Overview Spacedawg Pauly is a unique entity whose life story spans both Earth and the... cannabis strain and was well aware of the crew’s legendary reputation.
“You’re looking for something more…challenging,” he remarked, his voice laced with intrigue.
Spacedawg nodded, his interest piqued as the bondsman presented a list of high-profile bounties. Among them were familiar names—John Aikin, Johanus JohanssonEarly Life and Criminal Beginnings Born amidst the rugged landscapes of Norway, Johanus Johansson's early life veered into darkness as he led a gang responsible for a series of violent bank robberies. Haunted by the chaos and death that followed, he fled from law enforcement, seeking refuge in the rain-soaked streets of Seattle, Washington. There, the shadows of his past..., and Jake Dumas—individuals with notorious reputations.
A grin spread across Spacedawg’s face as he accepted the targets, his fingers tracing over the conditions—”Dead or alive…music to my ears,” he remarked with a hint of excitement.
The bondsman offered his well wishes, knowing full well the risks involved in pursuing such formidable adversaries. But with Spacedawg and his companions on the case, there was little doubt that justice would be served, one bounty at a time.
The Mandoleer’s Folly charted a course along the border between the New Kalmar Union and the Canadian Expanse. Onboard, Spacedawg received an anonymous tip about the notorious Jake DumasJake Dumas is a high-profile lawyer from Baltimore, Maryland, known for his controversial legal tactics and extensive manipulation within the legal and bureaucratic systems. His career, marked by notorious dealings and strategic corruption, exemplifies a dark intertwining of law and moral ambiguity. Early Life and Career Born and raised in the bustling environment of Baltimore, Jake Dumas quickly made a....
“We’ve got a lead on Dumas,” Spacedawg announced during a crew meeting, his voice edged with determination. “He’s been spotted near the border.”
With the promise of assistance from Anders Knudsen, a contact in the Kalmar Union’s Intelligence agency, the crew set their sights on the elusive Dumas. But first, they needed intel from an unexpected source – Titan, a Gitchi-mando bartender on Hans’ Planet.
As they made their way to the bar, Maelstrom’s senses confirmed their suspicions – they were being followed. With precision and stealth, they laid an ambush for their stalkers, revealing them to be agents of the Haakon Corporation.
The standoff ended swiftly, but not without consequences. The bodies of the fallen agents were overrun by nanospiders, leaving the crew with more questions than answers.
Their journey led them to the quaint and unassuming Dildo System, where Dumas was hiding. However, their attempts at anonymity were thwarted when they were asked to reveal their faces.
Spacedawg’s presence was unmistakable, and Dumas made a desperate attempt to escape. But Captain Ed’s swift action put an end to his flight, dispatching Dumas with a single shot.
As they stowed Dumas’ body away, Captain Ed contemplated their next move. “We might make a little extra cash for any viable organs,” he remarked, a grim reminder of the dangers they faced.
But Dumas had one last trick up his sleeve – a miraculous regeneration that left him pleading for his life. Yet, in the end, it was Ed’s cold resolve that sealed Dumas’ fate.
As they prepared to move on to their next target, the crew couldn’t help but wonder: would the next bounty be as easy?
