After Professor Lexie leaks the RF Models' system code to the world, Harold is captured and scheduled to be scrapped. To add insult to injury, the Electrocrime Investigations Bureau arrests Echika on false charges.

If Echika can exploit the fissures in the organization, she might have a shot at saving her and Harold's skins. But can she survive the power struggle at the very heart of the Alliance?
