After being expelled from yet another school, Jay Thorne has to start all over again. New school, new faces, new life. But her violent nature is proving difficult to control and she'll no doubt have to move on to a new town within a few weeks and leave yet another school behind. Or so she thought...
Her new therapist, the one she's visited twice a week since she moved has a proposition for her: Be expelled - yet again,
or,
Take part in the Icarus Project.
A top secret government drug trial where Jay will be altered, warped into something new, something alien, something not quite human...
"If this is top secret, why are you telling me about it?" Jay asked the Blonde woman seated in front of her. "What if I say no?"
Doctor Fitch smirked, her ruby painted lips twitching, as if it was not something she did often.
"You won't"

Out of work as a bartender since the Shoki Pao dance club mysteriously burned down, Xeno's lackluster lifestyle is getting harder to maintain. The public pill silos that dispense Sunlite, a one-size-fits-all mood elevating drug, haven't been refilled in months, so the citizens of Metropa turn to designer drugs like Black Magic, an addictive knock-off with terrible side effects. Having survived an overdose of Black Magic, and successfully revived by Drinama, a brain implant slipped to him as a Mickey at a job fair, Xeno earns an entry level position as an agent for secret service organization Intellegella. Garry, his handler, introduces Xeno to the industrial version of the black box, allowing Xeno's pineal gland access to synthetic sensory perception with the turn of a dial, along with the Noumenol patch, a skin absorbed drug that stabilizes his vital signs so that he doesn't suffer a cardiac arrest.

All he has to do is bring Trianne back to Intellegella for treatment. It's that simple . . . according to Garry.Complete
