Synopsis:

Following the Heath Oslo incident, the existence of the US-Japanese anti-terror organization CIRS has become a matter of public knowledge. CIRS has been rebuilt from the ground up, and its most covert functions spun off to a new agency: SORD (Social Ops, Research & Development).

The goal of SORD is to train a new generation of operatives to defend the country against future threats. To that end, the organization has established a series of schools up and down the country. Mihama Academy, more-or-less left to rot after its abrupt closure, has been given new purpose as one such ‘specialist training school’.

This new incarnation of Mihama Academy is home to a diverse group of students, who every day work to polish their unusual skills – sometimes on the job. Mihama now entrusts the misfit girls who attend it with guns and live ammunition. Paying their own safety no heed, these students are again and again plunged into dangerous extrajudicial missions – all for the good of the realm.

“We’ve been granted a place in the world.

That alone isn’t enough – there wouldn’t be any meaning in living, if that was all we had…

It’s not enough just to get by on the backs of others. I live by my own strength, and I fight to survive.

Because only the survivors among us belong with the living…”

No matter how much life grinds them down, what future awaits these girls, who’ve themselves chosen the path of the gun?

This is know as the Shigir Idol

“A mysterious wooden idol found in a Russian peat bog has been dated to 11,000 years ago – and contains a code no one can decipher. 

The Shigir Idol is twice as old as the Pyramids and Stonehenge – and is by far the oldest wooden structure in the world.

Even more mysteriously, it is covered in what experts describe as ‘encrypted code’ – a message from a lost civilisation.

Professor Mikhail Zhilin of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Archeology said: ‘The ornament is covered with nothing but encrypted information. People were passing on knowledge with the help of the Idol.’

Russian experts think that the strange carvings may contain a belief system, the equivalent of the Bible’s Genesis.

The statue had been dated as being 9,500 years old, after its discovery in a peat bog 125 years ago.

But new research in Mannheim, Germany used Accelerated Mass Spectrometry n small fragments of the sculpture, and found it is at least 11,000 years old.

That means the sculpture dates from the very beginning of the Holocene epoch – the era when man rose to dominate the world.’

“If we don’t know what it is, say it’s for ritual/religious purposes” -archaeology

And also “if we don’t want to admit what it is, say it’s for ritual/religious purposes”. You’d be amazed at the number of obvious dildos that are floating around in museum collections vaguely labelled as “fertility idols”.

(Note: being nine feet tall, the Shigur Idol is probably not a dildo.)

Probably.
