Story

The story follows a group of eclectic characters who form a detective agency through various escapes, with an arching plot concerning the protection of a humanoid character introduced in episode one as ''"cargo''". The cargo is later revealed to be a survivor and escapee from an experiment that attempted to change female human beings into genetically engineered weapons called the HW series. The HW series were designed to be weapons intended for the military. This contrasted with the earlier BW series weapons, which were glass-based and caused targets to become glass briefly before bursting into flames.
