The story takes place on Earth from a parallel universe in the not-too-distant future. The characters live in the Outerlands, a huge territory ravaged by war.

3	Three women from Kemet-Ra, the most powerful country in the world, and at war with the Outerlands, find themselves in enemy territory for different reasons. Shanti is a nurse and, secretly, an assassin. Horrified by her country's politics, she moves to the Outerlands, where she builds a small hospital in a village called Threestonesville to assist the local population. Blitz, her partner, works with Shanti at the hospital. Sekhmet, an AWOL officer and a war criminal, befriends both women. A love triangle, coupled with inevitable drama but also humor, ensues.

7	----
8	!! This show provides examples of the following tropes:
9	* ActionGirl: Both Shanti and Sekhmet are powerful combatants. Shanti is a very good martial artist, although she excels as a sniper. Sekhmet is nearly unstoppable in melee and regular hand-to-hand combat.
10	* AncientEgypt: The most influential culture on this parallel Earth.
11	* AndroidsArePeopleToo: Assistant, Sekhmet's body guard, is a sentient robot who apparently has feelings, which Sekhmet constantly abuses.
12	* CastFullOfGay: The main cast is all lesbian.
13	* CovertGroup: Shanti belongs to a secret assassin organization called Horizon.
14	* DangerousDeserter: Sekhmet is a wanted war criminal and a deserter. [[http://ges.smackjeeves.com/comics/2542187/ges-part3-page41/ Here]] she claims to Blitz that being fed up with a never-ending war was the main reason she went AWOL, although she also confesses to Shanti that she lied about a lot of the circumstances she recounted later.
15	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Sekhmet hides her past as a war criminal from everyone, [[spoiler:although she confesses it to Blitz. Later on, Shanti finds out about it on her own.]]
16	* DrivenToSuicide: Sekhmet is suicidal.
17	* FriendlySniper: Shanti is a kind, positive and likes to smile.
18	* HitmanWithAHeart: Shanti only targets bad guys and would never hurt an innocent.
19	* KeepingSecretsSucks: The entire comic is focused on secrets that the characters keep from each other. Shanti hides her secret life as an assassin from her partner Blitz and her friend Sekhmet. Sekhmet hides from everyone that she's a wanted war criminal. [[spoiler:And Blitz hides from Shanti that she has protected Sekhmet's secret for the past two years.]] None is them is happy with these secrets and there will be consequences...
20	* MilitaryAndWarfareComics: Sekhmet is a wanted war criminal who goes AWOL and hides in enemy territory.
21	* ProfessionalKiller: Shanti is an assassin, although she is not in it for the money. All profits go to her hospital.
22	* {{Robosexual}}: Assistant suggests she has feelings for Sekhmet. Although Sekhmet has a disgusted reaction, the author claims that there is indeed something going on between these two. It's all shown [[http://ges.smackjeeves.com/comics/2542175/ges-part3-page030/ here]].
23	* ShellShockedVeteran: Sekhmet is an AWOL soldier and a war criminal with obvious PTSD. Although it's unclear what exactly she's seen and done during war (except for building a weapon of mass destruction which she repeatedly sabotages), she has a [[http://ges.smackjeeves.com/comics/2542180/ges-part3-page034/ pained]] and rather strong restraining reaction in the presence of [[http://ges.smackjeeves.com/comics/2542181/ges-part3-page035/ wounded people]].
24	* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Sekhmet's weapon of choice is a shotgun. Powerful and angry, it adapts perfectly to her personality.
25	* SimpleYetAwesome: Sekhmet's shotgun is effective. Given the chance, she likes to aim at her opponent's legs and finish them with a shot to the head.
26	* SniperRifle: The main character, Shanti, uses a very precise sniper rifle.
27	* StatuesqueStunner: Sekhmet, Shanti and Blitz are tall and muscular women belonging to an engineered species called A.I.M.S. Sekhmet is 6′ 6″ (1.98 m) and is among the strongest representatives of her species. Shanti is 6′ 1″ (1.86 m). Although less strong than Sekhmet, she could easily crush a human head with her bare hands. Blitz is shorter, at 5′ 9″ (1.80 m). Even if she is a less powerful A.I.M.S., she is still far stronger than the strongest human.
28	* WarIsHell: The story is partly focused on war and its consequences. None of the characters enjoy war: Shanti is known to [[http://ges.smackjeeves.com/comics/2542191/ges-part3-page45/ hate war (and soldiers)]]; Blitz hates violence in all forms; and Sekhmet, although a wanted war criminal, claims to be [[http://ges.smackjeeves.com/comics/2542187/ges-part3-page41/ fed up with war]].
