“Human? What’s a Human?”
“Not what, who. He’s the most feared bounty hunter in the system.”
“What makes him so special? Cybernetics? Psyonics? Whatever it is, we’ve beaten it before.”
“That’s just it, there is no trick. Nothing. Plain Vanilla biology and no weapons beyond chemically propelled kinetics and edged tools.”
“You’re kidding, right? Then why is he such a big deal?”
“He’s a big deal because he does the job without anything like that. He can track you down and kill you without any net-dives or mind scans, and there’s nothing we’ve got that can shut him down. He’s not cybernetic so we can’t EM him, and he’s got no psychic presence so we can’t psybomb him. There’s almost no way to track him down or get away once he’s found you.”
“Can’t we just kill him?”
“Good luck. First you’ve got to find him, and they say he can disguise himself as anything.”
“Like what, posing as that vending machine?”
“No, I’m posing as the drinking fountain.”
