Story and art by Jerard Felix Beltran

Lt. Raya talks to her subordinates, Cp. Joanne and Cp. Rajah, about her past and how she ended up as a soldier doing clean-up operations in Bataan [wow! Raya lived in West Ave! I live there, too!]. Suddenly, a perimeter report tells them that a human and an AT-01 unit have entered the area.

After five years, Mina Cruz comes back to her hometown, Pasig. She went training in Bataan to become a Manunubos [that means "bounty hunter"]. A coincidental mission led her back to Pasig. At her arrival, she meets Dante who helps her get her gun back from a thieving Esclabo [that one means "alipin" or "slave"].
