A cybernetically enhanced spider tank runs amok and it falls to Section Nine to deal with it. After going on rampage at the testing facility, the tank heads towards the urban area of Niihama. Section 9 is called in to stop the tank after the Self Defense Force refuses to involve itself unless terrorists or a foreign power are proved to be responsible. Saito uses his SniperRifle on the tank, but is thwarted due to the tank's capability to link into the same satellite Saito is using to aim. Meanwhile, Togusa and Ishikawa interview the tank's engineer, Toshio Ooba.

Saito uses his SniperRifle on the tank, but is thwarted due to the tank's capability to link into the same satellite Saito is using to aim. Meanwhile, Togusa and Ishikawa interview the tank's engineer, Toshio Ooba.

Ooba reveals the identity of the tank's hijacker: Takeshi Kago, the original designer. After Kago's death by natural causes, Ooba linked Kago's brain to the tank's AI, effectively putting Kago in complete control of the tank. Ooba further reveals that Kago's possible motive may be to avenge himself upon his parents; he had serious medical problems, but his parents refused to allow him to get a cyberbody or even a cyberbrain due to their religious beliefs.

Kago's destination turns out to be his parents home, and Section 9 tries to stop him. They are unsuccessful, and Section 9 is forced to battle Kago; in the end, they disable the tank and Motoko hacks Kago's brain. However, the Major discovers a split second before she does so that all Kago was trying to do was show his parents his new steel body.
