Plot
The special of the day is Variable Geo, a brutal battle between waitresses who serve up generous portions of energy blasts and vicious side orders of murderous martial artistry. For buffed beauties who make below-minimum wages, VG is the perfect way to make some fast cash. The victorious walk away with millions, and the defeated lose everything (namely, all their clothes). But this high-stakes sport has dark forces and dubious practices behind the fun and games. Lethal injections make steroids seem like vitamins. Instead of team prayer, there's demonic possession. Athletic sponsors are malevolent corporations with a more frightening agenda than increased market share. It's all just part of the game.
As the story unfolds, it is gradually revealed that Miranda Jahana, once the true power of the Jahana Group now deceased, had secretly created a splinter group within the Jahana Group shortly before her death without her daughter's (Reimi Jahana, now the current president of the Jahana Group) knowledge. The goal of this splinter group was twofold: to find and enhance the most powerful female warrior on Earth and to resurrect Miranda Jahana through this warrior. Members of the splinter group, all of whom worked at various levels and departments of the Jahana Group company hierarchy, were absolutely loyal to Miranda and highly secretive in their efforts to resurrect their leader. By the end of the Variable Geo OVA, the devices containing Miranda's consciousness were destroyed by the V.G. heroines, the files for the Miranda project were also destroyed, and all members of the splinter group were either arrested or killed.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
