 Henrietta and other girls of the Social Welfare Public Corporation are brainwashed and trained as elite operatives for the government's secret counter-terror group. Political tensions are rising in present-day Italy. Padanian separatists in the north are waging a campaign of terror against the central government, and to fight the growing threat, the Social Welfare Public Corporation has started its own top secret project. Young girls who are dying and have no kin are brainwashed into absolute loyalty to their adult guardians, bionically enhanced, and then trained as elite operatives for the government. Henrietta was an ordinary girl until the day she was left for dead after witnessing the brutal murder of her family. As the latest girl to be "conditioned" by the Public Corporation, Henrietta joins up with Rico, Triela, Claes, and Angelica when she begins her new life in the government's secret counter-terror group. |
