Another sunny day on the desert planet of Sicury. Alone on the sea on sand, an old man wearing an all-black suit, riding on a motor. His white hair flaps with the scorching wind. Henry the bounty hunter, brings his newest victims to trade for rewards. As being a moon with a hostile climate, Sicury was turned into a perfect hideout for bandits from the authorities. They rely on the massive tunnel system underneath the burning surface. It’s a challenge to live and even fight inside these cold, dark tunnels. A man must master not only his combat skill but also his courage. And no man does it better than Henry. Once he starts hunting, his target only has two options: either surrender or surrender in a bodybag. His or foes would believe such a notorious figure has a decorative war history…

Henry — A Resilient Space Cowboy

Harold Deniau was a dreamy book clerk. Fascinated in Western, Harold always wanted to be a cowboy, who travels across the desert land, winning duels against others. A fun and explosive life, which was completely opposite to his profession. As he became older, he hoped to experience cowboy life just for once. Fortunately for him, the civil war broke out, and the planet where he lived fell into chaos. Having to relocate to a new planet, Harold naively picks Sicury, a desert moon similar to the fictional cowboy worlds.

Harold soon regretted his decision when he encountered the local habitants, the Slit throat gang. Instead of submitting to these bandits, Harold tries to heroically face them. Consequently, they beat him up and took his eye as a punishment. After this encounter, Harold had to abandon his dream to be a flashy cowboy. He learned to stay hidden, to be more practical.

His second chance came when he, together with a group of refugees, rescued a labor camp owned by the Slit throat gang. However, Harold’s team was tipped off by a member. The squad was ambushed by the angered gang. Pushed into a corner, the group formed a suicidal charge to find a breakthrough. Harold was the only one to survive with an arm torn by a blaster. After this incident, the old man’s distrust toward others grew. He slowly disappeared, cutting all of his previous connections. The residents suspected Harold was either drowning himself in alcohol or being killed by the Slit throat.

A year later, several bandit bases on Sicury were raided. They were conducted by a one-man army. An old man, dressed like a cowboy. The vigilante called himself Henry. Thus, his legend was born. The bandit feared him as the cowboy is unpredictable and ruthless. There is no way to track down this one-eye man as he had no connection. As more and more Slit throat members were hunted down or deserted, the gang slowly disintegrated. Holding in their last hideout, the leader and his few followers, shaken, waiting for the lone cowboy for the final confrontation.

Sand waves crash into each other on the surface of Sicury, forming a loud sound. It overweeningly dominates Henry’s moto engine. On the side, the head of the Slit throat leader bounced on the shaking vehicle. Henry nods his head along with the bouncing rhythm. As the moon is cleaned from the bandit, he wonders where he would continue his Western tale…
