Summary
The 24th century: Humankind has become a spacefaring civilization, colonizing the solar system and beyond. While no alien forms of life have yet been encountered in this expansion into space, colonists suddenly encounter machines of alien origin - huge robots able to reproduce themselves. Called replicators by the colonists, they seem to have but a single goal: to destroy all organic life they come in contact with.
Since the colonial governments have no means to fight this menace directly, they instead promise huge rewards to whoever destroys a replicator. As a result, the frontier attracts a new kind of adventurer, the Hunters, who work to find and destroy the replicators. Mike Edwards, a skilled young maintenance technician and robotics expert at a faraway outpost, will not only become one of them - but be the very first one to unlock the secret behind the replicators’ origin and mission.

The characters are, in my opinion, infantile in their motivations. A kid wanting to become a space bounty hunter I get, ofc, but the revelation made by the love interest was just so anime inspired 'I'm going to hide this info and also behave in a way to deliberately mislead, and then act as though he's an idiot for thinking something he was being manipulated into thinking.' For comedy? For a rug-pull? No.
Narrator was good though; good accents, nice voice and inflection most of the time, good job.
Repetitive and kinda infantile
