In 2128 on Mars, a singer hires an odd girl as an assistant. Meanwhile, smugglers are attacked while carrying a drug that androids need to survive.

Rouge and Naomi take a bus across the Martian wilderness in search of the next Immortal Nine member, but an armed group suddenly attacks the vehicle.

Naomi and Rouge learn that one of the Immortal Nine is hiding in Wellstown's Nean settlement but get into an argument while discussing how to get in.

The CFN holds Rouge under suspicion of killing Juval. Despite Naomi's advice to escape, Rouge suspects Phantom Verde is involved and decides to stay.

Naomi finds Leon's corpse in the Nean settlement but sees no sign of Rouge. A strange man says he knows where Rouge is and offers to take her there.

Rouge and Naomi board a ship back to Earth and meet a pair of twins staying in the neighboring cabin. Rouge dwells on the Puppetmaster's illusions.

Naomi visits Gene, who has been relieved of his post for the illegal use of a Proto-Nean, and asks him about the carnival and the Puppetmaster.

Rouge reunites with Gene and visits Dr. Junghardt's library of memories, where they uncover secrets about Rouge's past and Junghardt's goals.

Rouge struggles in a fight against Grauphon, Aerkos and Silvia. The situation grows even more chaotic when a Usurper ship and Cyan appear.

Seeking to stop the Immortal Nine, Rouge and Naomi take a ship to Venus. They find Cyan stowing away and are surprised by her totally new personality.
