Motoko was caught as the next experiment subject. The experiment succeeded and Motoko’s memory has been changed by Hanka.

The government signed the contract with Hanka, and Motoko became major and completed mission for the government.

Kuze started revenge. He hacked others minds and controlled them to kill people for him.

Kuze brought a lot of distruction and fear into Major’s mind.

Major was assigned to catch Kuze. However, when Major eventually got him, Kuze told Major that she was not one of a kind, moreover Kuze preceded her and he turned out to be an unsuccessful experiment and Hanka tried to eliminate Kuze.

Kuze urges Major to question her own memories.

Major finds out that 98 test subjects died before her and that her memories are implanted.

Cutter, the head of the Hanka, decides that Major is a liability and orders Ouelet, one of the scientists, to kill her.

Instead, Ouelet gives Major an address and helps her escape.

Major follows the address and finds out that the woman living in that address is her biological mother.

Major follows her memories to the hideaway where Motoko, whom Major was before she was taken by Hanka, was last seen. There, she and Kuze meet and recall their past lives as anti-augmentation radicals who were abducted by Hanka as test subjects.

Cutter deploys a “spider-tank” to kill them. Kuze and Major get serious damage. Kuze fades out and he gets shot by the sniper, while Major gets rescued by her team.

Major’s team executes Cutter with Major’s consent.
