Space Bat

In the tangled jungles of an uncharted Saturnian ring, strange feather‑covered deer flee from a horde of brutish hunters, their cries echoing through red vines and mossy rocks. Suddenly a massive, winged menace—known only as the Space Bat— swoops from the void, its presence enough to freeze even the hardiest crew. Lou Flint, a bare‑chested wanderer armed with a rare ice‑ray pistol, steps from the shadows, his cold gray eyes promising swift retribution for anyone who dares to slaughter the alien herd.

The poachers, led by a hulking brute, think they have the upper hand until Flint’s frozen shot halts a swinging club, buying him a moment to confront their greed. With a bounty worth a million credits hanging over the chaos, Flint is torn between profit and his own code of protecting the fragile life of this distant world. As the hunters retreat and the feather‑deer spill back into the wild, Flint knows the encounter is only the beginning; the ring’s maze of satellites hides deeper dangers and a hunt that could change the balance of power across the system.
