Artificial Girls/Action/Sequel Titles

Naomi Armitage, her husband Ross, and their daughter Yoko are spending a nice, quite life in a nice part of Mars with new names. Unfortunately, troops have raided a Third Type facility slaughtering not only the Armitage robots, but killing the human staff as well. Now Naomi must cast off her duties as wife and mother and resume her role as unofficial detective. With political debate heating up over the issue of robots being given the same rights as humans, things have never been more dangerous for Naomi nor her family.

Lime, Cherry, Bloodberry, and Otaru are back (minus their eating establishment) along with the very homosexual Hanagata and the Saber Dolls Luchs, Panther, and Tiger. As the first batch of female clones from Lorelei, attacks from outside sources attempting to steal the clones increase, causing Baiko and Tamasaburou to be even more vigilant. The changes going on cause the Saber Marionettes to reflect on their future place in the world. Meanwhile the Saber Dolls get a mysterious blank letter from their master Faust, the former ruler of Gartland. Taking their leave of their Saber Marionette friends, they go to join their master. When Lorelei is kidnapped, it appears that Faust has returned to his evil ways. But could there be more to this than it seems? And what about what is going on in Xian? Who is after Lorelei's clones and why? And will Otaru be forced to choose to spend his life with only one of his three precious Saber Marionettes?
