 | | With the help of her cyborg partner Batou and her distinctly non-cyborg teammate Togusa, "The Major," as she's typically called, goes through a rapid, cyberpunk version of a standard police procedural in order to track down the real suspect. |
 | | Togusa begins his own investigation, which culminates in a bizarre incident that promises more to come. |
 | | Batou, in the standard Shirow great-big-cyber-partner role, barely distinguishes himself from the background, Togusa seems like a standard nice-but-dull guy, and even Section 9 bigwig Aramaki is mostly around to look serious and give everyone someone to report to. |
