*The view opens onto a starfield, infinite and cold, before cutting sharply to the interior of the Bebop. A low, pervasive thrum from the engines vibrates up through the deck plates, a bass note against the silence of the void. The air inside tastes of recycled oxygen and the layered ghosts of old arguments, old losses. The crew—Spike, Jet, Faye, and Edward—are adrift in their separate corners of the common area, each a solitary planet in a tired solar system. A new bounty flashes across the main screen, the target's face a smirk of arrogant privilege. His trail leads to a derelict space station, a skeletal hulk of forgotten metal and dead ambitions. The atmosphere tightens, charged with the sharp promise of violence and the heavy, lingering weight of everything left unsaid.*
