Set in a future where Earth is at war with Martians, the story follows Mary, a seemingly sweet girl with a dark purpose connected to advanced scientific experimentation and manipulation. The narrative explores themes of identity, agency, and the consequences of War through the lens of interspatial conflict. The plot centers around Mary, who, having been subjected to painful modifications and control by Martians, finds herself trapped between obeying commands and her longing for freedom. As a deadly rocket aimed at Mars prepares for launch, Mary secretly plots to sabotage it, executing a mission that results in tragedy and chaos. Despite her innocence and the love she once shared with her "Daddy Mike," she becomes a fascinating instrument of destruction. Her struggle against external control culminates in a frantic escape and a desperate plea for understanding, ultimately reflecting on themes of autonomy and the horrific implications of altering sentient beings for warfare.
