Rouge and Naomi take a bus across Mars in search of the next Immortal Nine member. Suddenly a convoy of armed vehicles attacks the bus. They turn out to be a force of mercenaries targeting Rouge. The bus escapes into a forest, but breaks down...

The imprisoned Rouge is lost in an illusion that can't be called either a dream or a memory: her life just after she was born, her days with her kind older brother Gene and her father Roy... as well as an unfamiliar woman and a masked man.

Rouge reunites with Gene and they visit Dr. Junghardt's Memory Library. Rouge traces his memories to learn about herself, Code Eve, and Dr. Jung's goals. Then a girl shows up claiming to be Rouge's younger sister, Cyan...

After making an emergency landing on Venus, Rouge's group enters the Cloud Plant to find Gene, but Silvia picks up on their movements. As Gene looks on, the Puppetmaster begins to talk about his mother, Eva Kristella, and her creation, Code Eve.
