An accident occurred at about four o`clock this morning.

A USSD orbital particle-beam satellite discharged by mistake...

...striking the Tokyo Bay Aqua City, and sending it up in flames.

In addition, according to a police statement...

With regard to the Aqua City incident yesterday...

With regard to the Aqua City incident yesterday...

... the accidental particle-beam satellite discharge was most disgraceful.

USSD will therefore place its full resources into an inquiry.

We will strive to prevent such a thing from happening again.

We will strive to prevent such a thing from happening again.

No, you`re wrong. We`re with the appliances department.

If you`re covering something up, it won`t do any good.

But it`s under the jurisdiction of the R & D department.

It... It`s got nothing to do with us, really.

As witnesses, you`re useless! All right, get lost!

Hey, someone get the guys in the patrol section and the research department.

And get everything in this room identified!

Hey, that girl ...

You know her, Linna?

Yeah, from the aerobics club.

One of you murdered him !

You bitch !

Move it!

Not very sensible, are you, Miss?

Hey, you !

Ow! Shit!

You`re a Boomer... !

I`m Leon, AD Police. If you don`t cut this out, l`ll haul the lot of you in.

That`s enough. Stop it.

We don`t welcome false accusations.

We consider our corporate image important.

Now, if you will excuse us.

Who was that?

Brian J. Mason. A very important Genom executive. A real shark.

Cynthia was a weapon we developed to synchronize with the orbital satellites.

She may have been just a weapon to you ...

...but to us she was a little girl who needed to be rescued.

During the design phase, we considered many possible shapes, but...

Do us all a favor and make the next one look like a dog or a cat.

We`ll take the job, loose ends and all.

We deeply appreciate it.

Here are the details of the job, as well as data...

...about "Black Box," the orbital satellite synchronization system.

We`ll expect our 20,000,000 fee on completion.

How self-serving...

Case closed? lt`s pressure from Genom, isn`t it!

Not at all. Upstairs has decided that it was merely an accident.

There was no evidence of Boomers being involved.

What do they know? They haven`t been to the scene.

You`ve got your hands full keeping a rein on Boomer crimes!

Don`t you see, Genom is trying to develop a monster Boomer!

That`s just a wild hunch, right?

Nothing`s happened yet!

By the time something happens, it`ll be too late!

I swear, you`re the one who needs to be reined in !

Any time you want to take "early retirement," let me know!

You got some nerve saying that!

You`re going to eat those words!

You`re going to eat those words!

You`re going to eat those words!

I swear, it`s because of crap like this that we can`t stop Boomer crimes.

You shouldn`t get so steamed.

I`ll help you relax tonight. How `bout it? We could go to a motel.

OK, so we`ll go someplace where we can be alone, right?

A patrol car?

No, an AD Police armored vehicle!

Someone beat USSD to the "Black Box..."

...and recovered it from the wreckage of Aqua City.

I`ve got a hunch Genom`s involved...

...and that today`s explosion is somehow related to it.

Genom, huh? So we get another crack at `em !

But aren`t they too big for us?

Besides, l`m not too keen on this payment-on-delivery stuff...

I`ll do it! I go nuts watching those AD Police clowns.

Well then, the three of you should get started right away.

Priss, you check out activities connected with Genom.

Nene, crack into the AD Police databases. Mackie can help you with the passwords.

OK!

Hello, AD Police, lnvestigation Section ... Who?

Hang on a second... Leon ! Phone!

If it`s a guy, l`m not here.

It`s a babe. Says her name`s "Priss."

Hey, Priss! l`m touched to get a phone call from you !

I`ll go out with you.

Huh ! Really? When?

Today, at 1 1 .

If you want to meet that late, then let`s meet at a hotel. I know just the place.

1 1 AM, you jerk!

In the middle of the day? l`m still on duty then.

Make up something to do with your job, and sneak out!

Meet me at the Ragu Steakhouse on 26th Street. Later.

This is nuts. And why now, all of a sudden?

Maybe if I feed her some information ...

Boy, you really put it away.

This is both breakfast and lunch for me. Sure you won`t have some?

Just being here with you fills up my heart.

Come on, don`t deprive yourself. You`re paying, after all.

That was delicious!

I saw on the morning news that you`re investigating that explosion.

Did I look good?

Not bad. But what did they mean by "case closed?"

That the brass have made up their minds. But I disagree.

You do...?

The way I see it, there`s something fishy going on inside Genom.

Like the development of an advanced Boomer, for example.

An advanced Boomer?

Right!

And that means...?

Why are you so interested in this?

Oh, uh ... I kinda like this kind of stuff, you know. It`s like watching a sci-fi movie.

Now... you were saying the explosion was a development-project accident?

Uh-huh, some sort of screw-up.

So that means that the project is still underway in the Genom Building.

When I was at the scene of the accident, one of their patrol guys told me that...

...a delivery truck left at the same time as the explosion ...

...through a normally unused gate.

You mean they moved to another location?

Right!

Oh, look at the time!

This has been very interesting, but l`ve got a show to do now.

You can`t do that! So far all we`ve done is eat!

Good luck hunting Boomers!

Hey! Hold on a second!

My boyfriend was an engineer, doing R&D on Boomers for use in space.

He must have been very special.

He always seemed happy when he talked about his research projects.

But after he got involved with this project, he seemed afraid of something...

What was the project?

He said it was some kind of linkage system ...

...but that revealing anything more might get him killed.

Oh no! What about the police?

We told them, but they wouldn`t pay any attention.

I want to know what happened to him.

So that was why you did what you did.

We were going to get married when this project was finished.

Now this ring is all I have left.

I do feel a little better.

You look better. I`m glad.

I`m going to try to find out what happened to him.

Find out?

Because of the recent Boomer crimes, Genom will be a media target...

...since they produce the Boomers. I`ll try to expose what happened.

If you go too far, you`ll be in danger too.

Maybe. But I want to make sense out of this!

If something does happen to me...

...have those vigilantes avenge me, OK?

I`m kidding!

That`s not funny!

I tell you, that waitress really had an attitude problem.

What th ...?

Hey! That`s my car!

I`ll walk home. It`s not that far, and l`m kind of in the mood for it.

OK, take care.

Linna, l`m glad you`re so concerned about me. Thank you.

See you tomorrow!

Now how am I gonna get home?

Irene!

Got it. Mackie, contact Priss, fast!

OK.

Head for the 3rd-Street Quarter of Yokohama Chinatown !

Irene!

Irene!

Priss!

Irene!

Bitch !

Priss, wait! No solo actions.

I`ll do this job.

Irene, it`s too much to bear...

Mackie!

There are four Genom laboratories in the Kawasaki Factory Zone...

There are four Genom laboratories in the Kawasaki Factory Zone...

Activity has resumed at one of them since the explosion.

According to AD Police data...

The closed laboratory seems suspicious.

It was a terrible place, with a history of research accidents.

It was finally shut down six years ago, after twelve people died.

Boomers, l`ll bet.

They were developing power sources for fusion systems, which would...

They will share a toast with me, to the birth of the Super Boomer.

Let us make them welcome.

Knight Sabers... Go!

Boomer!

They`re somewhere between the 3rd and 5th floors, but I can`t figure out where.

I don`t expect them to stay in just one place.

Aha. Now I see.

Nene!

Nene!

I`m OK. Ow ow ow...

Here... here it comes!

Hey, Sis! The particle-beam satellites... they`re tuned...

...they`re tuned to the same frequency as with Cynthia!

Check it out!

Bastard!

Go for the head!

The particle-beam satellites! They`re unsteady, but they`re operational !

It can`t be...

But it is!

No choice: the Knuckle Bomber!

The satellites are starting to synchronize!

Get out of my way, Linna!

The particle-beam satellites seem to be standing down.

The "Black Box" has gone up in smoke.

It`s best this way.

Huh? What about our 20,000,000, Linna?

Commander Swarz, of the scandal- plagued USSD, announced...

...his resignation a short time ago. His successor...
