Having helped Cleo – the daughter of business tycoon Alexander Selwyn – and her surrogate Replicant mother, Isobel, escape Off-world, Blade Runner Aahna ‘Ash’ Ashina has returned to Los Angeles to hunt Selwyn down. Following a lead, Ash visited the ruins of the Tyrell Corporation. With the help of a deranged scientist called Fost, whom she found living there, she accessed the Tyrell mainframe and uncovered a list of people connected to a secret project called Isobel. Believing the list would lead her to Selwyn, Ash set off in her borrowed Spinner to follow the trail. However, following a tip-off from Selwyn, a squadron of LAPD Spinners were lying in wait for Ash, and she was arrested. Whilst transporting her to prison, the police were ambushed, and Ash was freed and taken to a deserted farmhouse by members of the Replicant Resistance.
