As you fly unconscious you fall through a cloud to a planet full of junk. You land on the surface of the junkyard. When you wake you have a panel of metal over you, you kick it and get up. You look up to the sky and see junk falling constantly. A huge piece of machinery falls in your direction so you run and climb a pile of junk before it hits the floor.

Looking around you see a city with a tower in the center. You hear an alarm and turn around as a spaceship hovers and separates in several parts. One of the pieces land in front of you. A group of scavengers walk out of the spaceship towards you.

"Are you a fighter? Or are you food?" One of them tells you.

"I'm just a tourist" You say.

"It is food" He exclaims. No, no, no. You're definitely not food. "On your knees." This is the second person today that wants you to kneel. 

The scavengers take out their guns. You close your fists and they start to glow. You throw a photon blast to one of them and punch out some others but one of them throws you an electrified net and knocks you down to the ground. They get around you and start kicking and hitting you with their guns.

Another ships flies over you and lands on the junk making the scavengers stop and stare. A ramp extends from the front os the ship and a young woman dressed in black steps out. She drinks a whole bottle of booze and throw it to the floor.

"He's mine" She says walking down the ramp. Half way through it she falls off the side.

The scavengers turn around to face you again. "Wait" She says getting up. "He's mine. So if you want him, you go through me."

"But we've already got him." The one who threw you the net says.

"All right, then. I guess I go through you." She shrugs.

"More food." The scanvanger says.

The young woman wears devices over her knuckles which she bashes together repeatedly. Eventually side guns on the ship move in synchrony with her arm movements. She points her fists to the scavengers and the guns blast them to pieces.

 When she finish, you manage to get up and out of the net. The only surviving scavenger runs at her but she ducks and punches him, throwing him to a junk pile far behind her.

"Thank you" You say to her. A bit of blood falls out of your mouth. But instead of helping you, she tosses a silver disk and it sticks to your neck with metal teeth. She activates the device and the disk shock you to the ground, knocking you out.

You wake up lying on the glass floor of the lower compartment of the woman ship. It flies above mountains of junk surrounded by water. Turning around yourself you see the woman sitting on the cockpit of the ship.

"Scrapper 142. I need clearance and an audience with the boss. I've got something special. She says looking at you.

"Hey! Where are you taking me?" You ask but she doesn't say anything. "Answer me!" You demand, smashing your hand on the glass. Again she doesn't speak so you point your hands over her, ready to shoot. "Many apologies, handsome" She says activating the device before you can shoot. Unconsciousness, here we go again.
