For years the anti-corporate vigilantes called the September Alliance have been operating in the cloak of the general population. Targeting abusive corporations, they've avenged layoffs, defended the environment, and killed men who raided pensions. Branded as terrorists by the media, they proudly bear that name, and vow to bring even more terror to the boardrooms and trading floors of the Empire. Contemptuous of the police, believing justice and the law to be separate, and ready to use violence on a personal level, their vendetta against corporate evildoers struggles without major effect. In desperation, they turn to Pixie, their petite but not so sweet operative in River Valley to recruit someone who will reenergize their quest for justice. Pixie does what no one expects, and seeks out not a radical idealist, but a shy misfit. She seduces a naive, trusting college student named Nicholas Papadopoulos and turns him into the most prolific killer the September Alliance has ever seen... Nicky Pops
