Each day brings another contract—this is the reality for the perpetually ill‑fated crew aboard Bebop. Their monotony shatters when Faye, hunting a low‑value quarry on Mars, observes an oil tanker erupt in flames, sparking widespread panic. As casualties climb from a bizarre illness that spreads through the smoke, a staggering 300 million woolongs bounty is offered on the alleged culprit.
With lives hanging in the balance and a financial lifeline looming, the Bebop team springs into motion. Spike, Jet, Faye and Edward—Ein trailing close behind—disperse to chase distinct clues throughout Alba City. Their separate probes uncover a pharmaceutical cover‑up, exposing a conspiracy far grander than the ragged band of hunters could have imagined. The inquiry uncovers that the illness was engineered to silence witnesses, and the pharmaceutical conglomerate is manipulating city officials for profit in the city today.
