Emma Taumata just cooked her last bounty alive. It was an accident.
Emma's a washed-up bounty hunter working for Earth's colonialist alien overlords, the Qhixs'is, who so generously turned off the power, factories, & banned toilets nearly two decades ago. Despite her hatred of them, Emma loves her job, but she's just had another shitty Thursday, & lost the last of her points. So, she's forced to hunt her childhood best friend, Davis Jake.
