Characters/RocketRaccoon is a racoon with a problem. An old friend has come to him to with a job. She needs someone to break into a high-tech vault and recover some land deeds from her homeworld, to protect them from the evil Beavertron corporation, and Rocket's the best man... er, racoon for the job. Of course, a job like this would require more than just a devastatingly cunning and fuzzy racoon, it'll need a crew. But in such a crazy cosmos of oddball bounty hunters, space otters and raccoons, nothing can be trusted for long.

* BizarreAlienSenses: The Echomalians, a reptilian species who have no eyesight, but highly trained senses that allow them to function as a LivingLieDetector, and therefore a good fit for lawyer work. All except Murd Bludrock, who was hit by a truck of radioactive originum as a child, which cost him his echo senses. However, as a result of that accident, he gained a mysterious ability that allows him to know what expression the judge is making, as if he could ''see'' it somehow...
* DidNotGetTheGirl: Things with Otta do not work out, and thanks to her overhearing something Rocket said, they don't work out with Gatecrasher either.

* AFoolForAClient: With his lawyer having run off to go fight ninja, Rocket decides to represent himself. Unfortunately there are a few details no-one bothered to ''tell'' him, so he winds up pissing the jury off so badly they demand he be given the harshest punishment possible.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Otta tries to kill Rocket and destroy her hometown, but Rocket knocks her out. While this does leave her with an executive she's just knocked out, they both figure when he comes around she'll be able to calm him down.]]
* LoopholeAbuse: Gatecrasher notes a little loophole in their deal with Securimax that means they're employed in perpetuity. She decides this means they can help bust Rocket out of any prison he's sent to, then recapture him for the bounty, for as long as they like (or until Rocket becomes worth more dead than alive).
* SpottingTheThread: Rocket disguises himself as Max Sekuri to get into Gnawbarque's office. It all goes swimmingly, until he sees Otta's in there. Even though Rocket's in human form, she's able to recognize the way he walks, and then a rattled Rocket orders his preferred drink order rather than Max's. [[spoiler:At which point Otta shoots him.]]
