Appleseed XIII: Tartaros.Deunan and Briareos are a pair of paramilitary police officers in the future city of Olympus. Raised by her military father to survive literally anything, Deunan is an all-human, all-deadly young woman; Briareos is a high-end cyborg who lost a goodly portion of his anatomy in an explosion. The pair is very close, bicker-prone, and unbeatable together. Which is good, because Olympus—an advanced city where the human minority is supported by a subordinate class of artificial humans known as bioroids—is under attack. Specifically by a terrorist organization targeting the city's ambitious migration program, which is designed to populate far planets with free-willed bioroids. A terrorist organization backed by opaque conspiracies and run by a ruthless operator whose reasons for mayhem are every bit as compelling and tragic as Deunan's reasons for protecting her new homeland.
