Short Warp: Deep Space Bounty

short warp
noun

1 : a rope tied directly to a harpoon, often through the lance eye; once commonly used in 'whaling' - the hunting of cetaceans for food and industry

2 : any single "jump" of faster-than-light travel where the departure point and end points are separated by less than approximately two million ship-legges in real-space (exactly 2,097,152 Cosien-standard ship-legges).

You're not out to save the world, you've just got bills to pay.

Deep-space shipping lanes have become infested with swarms of aggressive, parasitic creatures.
The Cosien Corporation has offered bounties for each confirmed kill.

There are rumours of something much larger out there. Some whisper of mythic "space whales". Others just laugh.

But you don't really care about any of that.

You just need the credits.
