- In 2035, Branch is assigned to investigate a series of murders of Boomer prostitutes. Eve, a high-society Boomer prostitute, starts having recurring visions of a young girl in a red dress. Michaelson goes undercover as a hooker to look for the Hooker Boomer Crusher. Angel tells Buzz that the Boomer Crusher's master may be tied to Genom. Michaelson follows Eve on her next job to a hotel. After interrupting Eve and her client, Michaelson discovers the murdering Boomer is actually a stray cat she picked up on the streets which changes form into a larva and insect-like Boomer. Although Michaelson fights and defeats the Boomer, Eve is called away by the young girl and walks off a ledge to her death. (en)
- In 2040, the A.D. Police are still investigating a rash of Boomer murders. Kenji Sorime, the Minister of Justice and a presidential candidate, tells Chief Takahashi that he intends to destroy all Boomers, claiming they are the cause of society's problems. Takahashi goes missing shortly after. Buzz then has Michaelson and Kimball search for him while Myers and Angel dig up information via hacking. As Michaelson and Kimball are driving they are attacked by a helicopter. Michaelson survives as Kimball sacrificed himself to protect her from an oncoming missile. Then, hundreds of bombs detonate in Genom City, killing over 10,000 people and shutting down 90% of Boomer production. Buzz is framed for the attacks, the reason being that he submitted a paper in college on a domino theory on how to exploit Megatokyo’s emergency power system to trigger a chain reaction explosion, which Sorime read. Sorime has Angel, Takahashi and Myers killed, and Branch HQ destroyed. Sometime later, Buzz confronts Sorime in his apartment, telling him video footage of the conspiracy will be revealed on the news. Sorime plans to kill him, knowing Buzz won't shoot back as he accidentally killed a young girl before and vowed to never use a gun again. However, Michaelson shows up and kills Sorime. Buzz then honors his fallen partners by taking Michaelson’s Glock 17 and shooting Sorime’s corpse four more times. (en)
