Working on a simple case of concession fraud and tax evasion Sybilla discovers that Bugs, a fierce enemy of mankind,
hide below the city. The trace leads her to a SM Club that seems to use Bugs
for a snuff show.
After a steamy night with her masochistic new lover Sybilla is looking
forward to a weekend full of joy. Unfortunately her boss has a new
assignment for her and Sybilla is rather peeved.
Sybilla meets up with Roberto, a rookie of the Special Investigations
Department, who is ordered to support her. Roberto was told he would
meet the most brutal and dangerous agent of the Imperial Police and
has some trouble to realize that Sybilla is that infamous agent.
Sybilla and Roberto have to cross the territory of the Pakk, a gang of
dangerous slave traders. Sybilla had to deal with them time ago and
the reactions of the Pakk clearly shows that they have not forgotten her,
even after all those years. Roberto starts to worry that those rumors
about her might be true.
Down at the sewers Sybilla and Roberto discover more corpses and a bizarre, slimy nest.
A bug attacks them and their guns render as insufficient. Sybilla uses
one of their hidden weapons to kill the bug, making Roberto wonder if
she is a cyborg.
Back from the sewers they run into a group of SDO soldiers, members
of a private army. Sybilla hates the SDO and it takes only seconds until
they give her a reason for a fight. A few seconds later the first two SDO
soldiers are down.
Regular military forces show up and end the fight. They are led by a
CyGen who immediately senses that Sybillas body partly consists of
illegal nanites.
For their undercover mission Sybilla and Roberto need new identities
and Sybilla demonstrates that her nanites are not only useful as
weapons.
Thanks to the preparations of Special Investigations they have no
problems to enter the club using their new identities. While Sybilla
enjoys her role as playmate of a wealthy board member Roberto has
some trouble to ajust.
The SM show of the club features a electric endurance test and the
needle song of pain.
It turns out that Sybillas suspicions was right. The club is using a
bug for a bloody snuff show.
Just when Sybilla started to "question" the owners Special Investigations
shows up and stops her. Sybilla decides to cooperate in exchange for
information.
Back home Sybilla realizes that she had forgotten to inform Gypi about
something important.
