Then one day, a mysterious brain colony controlled by the A.I. Leopard appears out of hyperspace. Akiha's life is turned upside down and she is forced to search for parts to repair Leopard.  While disobeying direct orders from her superiors, Itsuki Kannagi of the Inter-Colony Police begins her undercover investigation into the appearance of Leopard and its connection to Akiha. Eventually, Itsuki joins forces with Akiha to battle the malicious brain colony Nerval who seeks to enslave  all of humanity.
