Session 4: "Gateway Shuffle"

Spike and Jet have just stumbled over a bounty when he's suddenly shot. The woman seems vaguely familiar. As Spike curses their bad luck, Jet remembers that the woman is "Twinkle" Maria Murdock, the founder of a group of Eco-Terrorists...and she's worth three times as much as the original bounty! So, Spike catches her...open and shut case, right?

On board the Bebop, they learn the bounty is suddenly retracted. So, the two head off and who should they find floating without any fuel but Faye Valentine! She seems to have a small vial she found, and Murdock reacts strangely to it. After returning Murdock, she and her partners head on a plan to turn everyone into vicious apes! So, the bounty is put back and the crew heads after her, seeking to destroy all the missiles with the virus, but are ultimatly forced to close down the hypergates...with Spike and Faye still inside. The two escape, but Murdock and company are stuck in hypertime as the vial shatters, turning them all into apes. And, to add to the problem, Faye decides to join the Bebop Crew...permanently.
