Marshal Kellee, the law officer who continuously crosses Kesh’s path, helps her stay ahead of various goons. Her friend Hulia warns that there’s a “fifty million v-coin” bounty on Kesh’s head. When she learns that he is the warfae who killed Crater, she barely escapes with her life. Kesh then disguises herself as a reporter to interview Larsen. Merry, who gives Kesh her assignments, points her toward Istvan Larsen, CEO of Arcon, the company responsible for Calicto’s surveillance tech. Because Sota recorded the murder, the fae snatches the drone and bolts. Armed with a gun and a magically enhanced whip, Kesh finds the killer nearby and discovers he’s a warfae from the Faerie world. The message, Sota says, is “ You have eighteen seconds to live.” This turns out to be true, as a sniper’s bullet kills Crater. She and her hovering drone, Sota (Secure Observational Tactical Assistant), are currently in a restaurant delivering a message to José Crater, head of the mine workers union. On Calicto in the Halow system, Kesh Lasota is a messenger. A woman who delivers messages for underworld operatives finds a bounty placed on her own head in this SF series opener.
