What if you were told the Cold War was not fought over nuclear weapons, but over the control of ultra-sapiens -- humans genetically engineered to be weapons and traded like stock between nations. What if you were told these ultra-sapiens got a little too aware of the power they held, struck back at their controllers, and now are either in hiding or have farmed themselves out to the highest bidder?

The chameleon-like Madame Mirage chooses a face and a body that men will die for, and that bras will want to hide from.
