It is 1939, seven years since the failed Emu War. Company Sergeant Major Agari is about to retire from the Military, and Will Snarkey has gone bankrupt and resorts to living rough in the woods, shooting animals for food. CSM Agari is then summoned, and is alerted to the fact that Doctor Hugo Schultz has recently escaped from prison after the prison was attacked by unknown military forces, as well as remainders of his original Emu Army.
