ARC agents Gideon Eshanti and Rachel Braque are spending the night together when they are attacked by a government execution squad. After killing the scrub agents, they flee to the apartment of Dante Scrivner. Dante offers them the use of his apartment, and says he'll use his connections to help investigate why the "The Hand of God", wants them dead. He also provides them a contact with the CFF, a rebel organization trying to overthrow the Hand of God, but they remain hopeful that they'll be able to clear their names instead.
