Alien Rising; Job Description, Alien Bounty Hunter

New London, a mega urban center (slum?) of the 21st Century. With 7.3 million inhabitants, or should I say victims, it’s the 3rd largest city on the planet. Police databases show that 37,000 known felons reside here. Doing the math, 1 out of every 200 people is a felon – so why are there 6 of them living in Hogan’s building. Just lucky I guess.

Oh, yea, only 713 actual felons have been arrested in the last 7 years. The Police aren’t very good at their job. That’s why they turn for help to outside services. There are 28,000 public Enforcers and 46,000 private Mercenaries helping them out on a regular basis. Last, we have 16, oops 15, Alien Bounty Hunters. They only get involved when it becomes profitable for them. Hogan Sloan and her former partner Sidney Wade (recently ‘terminated’) are the ones who were actually responsible for 78 of the above-mentioned arrests.

Hogan was drawn into the Bounty Hunter business 7 years ago by Sidney. They met at the Cheers Pub, 2 blocks from Hogan’s Apt. building. She was recently unemployed when, for the last time, she told Sergeant Thomson to shove it. Yep! She’s an ex-cop. She watched one to many fellow cops die … mostly cause the Police were unable to adapt to the idea of extraterrestrial beings walking their streets. Hogan knew better … no one on the force would believe her.

Time for something new. Sidney was certainly that. Sidney developed Alien tracking devices and two new styles of laser and sonic weapons. She had the backing of the scientific community. Her sister was killed by the worst of the alien rogues … they nick-named it … ‘Jack the Ripper’.

Sidney needed a streetwise partner to continue her hunt. Hogan and Sidney became great friends. They worked out of Hogan’s west side Apt. Sidney even developed a special shower tube to “completely” neutralize any contaminate they would run across.

Sidney was killed by Jack 13 months ago … Hogan just left her apartment, for the first time today.

These are her stories…
