Long story short, it is the story of your average Top Secret, [[Plausible Deniability|Quasi]] [[Government Conspiracy|Governmental R&D Project]] creating [[Ridiculously Human Robots|semi-autonomous artificially intelligent limited-nanofunction humanform mecha constructs]] for covert ops missions to destroy OTHER Top-Secret, [[Plausible Deniability|Quasi]] [[Government Conspiracy|Governmental R&D Projects]] within the [[Marvel Universe]].

More specifically, it's the story of "Stem Cell", an [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary Teenage Girl]] who wakes up one day with no idea why she's taking part in a raid on a Top-Secret, Quasi-Governmental R&D Project -- or why she's so unnaturally calm about everything -- until she vomits up a component for a [[BFG]] and learns that she's a <s>robot</s> mecha, and the newest agent of Project:Livewire. And it's the story of how she comes to terms with these facts.
