Trouble is brewing is New Ataraxia. An [[LaResistance underground rebellion]] is striking back against the [[TheGovernment technocratic fascist government]], helped by the mysterious figure of Anna Mercury. The government is getting ready to fire their newest weapon, the Cutter, at their neighbor Sheol City and Anna has only hours to stop it.

But there is something more about Anna. How does she seem to escape impossible situations so easily? How can she jump [[SuperWindowJump out of windows]] and land harmlessly on the ground or walk across telephone wires? How can she so unerringly fire her [[GunsAkimbo twin pistols]]? And she comes from someplace no one has ever heard, beyond New Ataraxia and Sheol City. Someplace called London.

!!Tropes:
* AppliedPhlebotinum: Almost all the extraordinary things Anna can do are because of her "induction field," which can manipulate gravity in New Ataraxia. Also, the technology that allows Anna to go from London to New Ataraxia (which gives her, at best, 16 hours before returning).
* BuildingSwing
* DeathRay: The Cutter
* GrapplingHookPistol
* GunsAkimbo
* {{Masquerade}}: The [[spoiler:nine imaginary worlds]] are known to each respective agency in the G-8 governments, but not to heads of state. "Launchpad" says he's had to explain the program to four Prime Ministers so far and each have had, well, unusual reactions. The most recent one seems to take it alright, though.
* MeaningfulName: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataraxia Ataraxia]] is a Greek word for a kind of blissful state, while [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheol Sheol]] is Hebrew for {{Hell}}.

* MissionBriefing
* MistakenForSpies: Interesting in that Anna ''is'' a spy, but for the UK, not for Sheol.
* NukeEm: One of the options "Launchpad" tells the PM is just shoving a nuclear warhead into New Ataraxia.
