* FromBadToWorse: Basically the whole story. It starts out bad, with a CrapsackWorld which motivates Nikki to join an insurrectionist movement as an assassin; then gets worse when his conscience begins to catch up to him; then worse still when he is ordered to kill his friend/lover because "she's a risk." Gets worse yet again when he refuses but she [[MortonsFork ends up dead anyway]]; and bottoms out when he is arrested and pretty much goes insane.

Nikki, [[Music/GunsNRoses just an urchin living under the streets]], is fed up with what he sees as corruption and hypocrisy in every level of society. Fortunately for him (or so it seems), he comes across [[MagnificentBastard charismatic revolutionary leader]] Doctor X, who recruits Nikki to his cause. Nikki becomes a political assassin, murdering anyone who stands in Dr. X's way; but soon his conscience begins to torture him and he starts to doubt the cause he's fighting for. Then things get complicated.

!!'''Operation: Mindcrime II'''
(Again, although efforts have been made to keep this summary spoiler-free, some factoids will inevitably slip through, so tread carefully.)
Nearly twenty years after being incarcerated at the end of [=OM1=], Nikki is summarily released, with little or no attempt to help him integrate into civilian life. Naturally he finds himself on the wrong side of the law again, which only serves to fuel his still-extant hatred for the governmental authorities.
Ultimately, Nikki decides to confront and kill Dr. X, whom he continues to blame for all the problems that have plagued him his entire life. But will killing his nemesis really solve his problems, or bring Nikki any comfort over the loss of Mary?
