Marina Kopacz, a former first-generation pilot suffering from the so-called "Antiplug Effect", and Jelena Zega, her former Handler, navigate a life without purpose after losing the war they gave everything for.
The Earth is dead. Petroleum is the MOTOR GOD's blood. Burning fuel is worship. Motor engines burn forever.
The war is over. The titanic war machine you call your body has been taken from you. You can try to reintegrate, but you and I both know that won’t work. It never does. It’s okay, though. I have an offer for you. Come with me, and you can stay a pilot. I hope you can handle the speed.
