Kamal is a field agent working for Delta Astronautics, Terra's largest starship technologies corporation. While not exactly a bounty hunter himself, Kamal's job is to venture out into the Sol system to investigate infractions of and enforce corporate law. Having a skeptical nature, Kamal doesn't tend to take things at face value- he wants to understand how the dominos fell to bring about an event and lift the fingerprint off the first domino to topple so he is certain he's not wasting his time. Being thorough and rigorously verifying your intel is always worth the time and effort, because when he has a lock on a lead he is free to act on enforcement without hesitation.
While he handles many different kinds of jobs for Delta, Kamal tends to work in debt collection and resolution. The advent of public starfaring is the right of every sentient being, but it is expensive and difficult to learn how to run a starship and navigate space so most people fly commercial starliners to hop from planet to planet, like the ones Timberwolf's Mahnoor used to pilot. For those who know how to fly a ship, Delta computers are at the heart of most Inner Belt starships, and if you need a part to get your ship working so you can work and afford the part, Delta offers payment plans, with interest, so you can get your rig back amongst the stars. Some young starfarers will get the idea that, well, space is a big place, if I want to fly out to, let's say Titan Garden, and work out there, what's a Terran corporation gonna do to make me pay my Delta debts? Send a guy out to get me? Kamal's one of the guys Delta employs to correct these misassumptions.
In order to make his job easier, Kamal has a series of cybernetic enhancements made to his body. His right arm is prosthetic, housing top-of-the-line stabilization gyros and a small personal computer and holoscreen projection panel; and his right eye and ear have been replaced with audio and video recording hardware, allowing him to record and play back incidents and discoveries in the course of his investigations. Kamal prefers to keep a low profile in his investigations so he opted for a set of lightweight, natural-style cybernetics, although they can still be spotted by the small seams on his body. They're very handy, though, as Kamal's current case is a difficult one: he's tasked with tracking down an Android with outstanding debts and compounded interest.
The file reads like this: a Delta Astronautics Human-Astronav Liaison mk. 3 unit, female variant, received extensive computer hardware upgrades and a personal defense module installation to improve performance and personal security in anticipation of dangerous work in space. These enhancements include an upgraded CPU chip with extra cores, central hardware protective cladding, Faraday cranial mesh and DA-384 "Fingerguns" cutting-beam emitters in her left hand fingertips. The HAL-4 line was not yet ready for rollout at the time of installation so it was a considerable suite of improvements over the base HAL-3 model, and not an uncommon set of parts for a Delta droid to opt for if they anticipate a difficult line of work. The HAL-3 unit in question was registered as crewmember aboard a ship called the Reef Shark, a small freelance transport vessel working a contract for Delta's Neptunian counterpart, Quasar Galactic. The Reef Shark's last known coordinates were just behind Caelus's orbit. The HAL-3 unit was not found among the dead, and is presumed still alive. Her debts have not been paid for several years and the interest has compounded substantially. Kamal's job is to track down the HAL-3 droid and either extract payment or repossess the upgraded parts. He is capable of meeting all these obligations.
Some years ago a young Mercurian woman with two working arms and a Martian girlfriend had just left a job working a long-haul cargo ship, purchased a tow truck and set out to start a salvage business for herself. One of her earliest finds was the wreck of a small transport vessel adrift outside of Caelus. Its doors struggled to open, even with her mechanical knack, as chainsaw marks had warped the frame of some entryways. She found no signs of life until she arrived at the bridge, where she discovered the body of the ship's pilot wearing a Holonet headset wired into the ship's astronav computer, which in turn was wired into a HAL-3 Astronav droid and the ship's main power line. Bodies don't really decay in space, the young woman learned, but the ship's logs indicated they had been adrift out here for a while by this point. As she set about dismantling computer panels for salvage she noticed the HAL-3 unit was still alive, and in critical low-power mode. The Mercurian woman unhooked her from the rat's nest of wires and quickly carried her back aboard her own ship, intent on replacing her battery and restoring the HAL-3 unit to a safe and functional state.
Today, Kamal arrives on Titan Garden. He's at the Grizzly Bear Scrapyard, picking through a pile of old parts with a handheld scanner. Deep beneath a mess of junk he found what he was looking for: a small Delta model tracking chip rests beneath a pile of outdated spaceship parts. The serial number on the chip matches his mark, and the numbers on the pile of parts match components belonging to the Reef Shark. Kamal ashed his cigarette- he was going to have to do this one the old-fashioned way. He has a meeting set up with a Quasar agent- a Neptunian named Fish- at a small pub in the A-District, a place called the Ox & Carriage. Home office says she'd been to the Reef Shark, looking for the pilot. Here's hoping she has something useful she's willing to share, or else this is going to be a long job.
