Summary
:
SCRATCH is a cult that believes that the soul should abandon
the physical body to reside in cyberspace. A massive bounty in
place on the leader, Doctor Londes, when followers commit
suicide. The bounty hunters search for Londes but find no
trace of him in the physical world or cyberspace. The only
clue is a virtual reality videogame console, "Brain
Dream," which can be used to "join" SCRATCH.
Faye secretly infiltrates the cult but fails to capture
Londes. She makes an ominous call to the Bebop and passes out.
Jet purchases a
"Brain Dream" to try to hack into SCRATCH.
Immediately, he is hypnotized during his first attempt.
Luckily, Ein's bite saves him at the last minute. Ein insists
on trying the SCRATCH program and miraculously hacks into the
connection to find Londes' location, a hospice. At SCRATCH
headquarters, Spike finds Faye unconscious on the floor in a
room with a tower of monitors. Londes appears on the screens
and challenges Spike. Jet and Ed head to the hospice and
discover a comatose boy named Ronny Spanngen. Londes is a
projection from the boy's mind. They disconnect Ronny from his
computer, sealing Londes from physical world.
