For 40 years, three shelters that united as the Adrian Republic have been fighting Earth’s Allied Forces. Legendary Allied mercenary Captain Yun Jung-yi joins a mission to attack a fuel rod in an Adrian shelter. She has a chance to make a crucial shot but is distracted by a children’s keychain. Her hand is shot, revealing that she is also really a robot. 

Yun shuts down, and it’s revealed that she is in a simulation. Thirty-five years beforehand, the real captain failed the mission and ended up in a coma. Being Yun’s daughter, Dr. Yun Seo-hyun, lead a Kronoid Lab research team, where cloned Captain Yun consciousness, which can be repeatedly uploaded into androids. 

For five years, they have been studying Captain Yun’s brain map in a recreation of her final mission, attempting to use the data to create the greatest AI combat robot.

As a solution, she could copy her consciousness into a prosthetic body for free, just like her mother, but this would also mean her brain data can be sold to companies and used to make clones. 

In an interview with Seo-hyun, Jung_E reveals the keychain that distracted her was given to her by her daughter for strength and protection, because she told her not to lose it. Realizing this is what caused her to fail her mission, Seo-hyun deletes all memory of herself from Jung_E’s brain. 

Before the simulations are ended, the  Kronoid Chairman informs Seo-hyun that the Adrian War is ending and that weapons manufacturing, including of the combat AIs, will cease. So, Seo-hyun tells the last Jung_E android the truth of who she is, deleting any other original data so that it can no longer be used to create more Kronoid products, including Captain Yun sex dolls.
