Max and IC-0n's journey begins with some classic extruded quadrilateral-themed murder. Max might be getting more than he bargained for with this WMD, but then again . . . what led him to this bargain in the first place?
A strange girl, Kirie, recalls a fragmented and nightmarish memory - bringing into question the true nature of IC-0n and these A.I. "cubes" in general. Just what was tucked away in that mountain facility, what became of it, and what is Kirie's relationship to Max in the present day? Meanwhile, Max and IC-0n continue their steady trek forward . . . though it seems more than one of them is hiding something.
Max and IC-0n's strange road trip makes a stop at a diner. While Max and Kirie's rather nefarious plans for IC-0n are revealed, additional foes appear to further complicate the matter.
