Plot[]
All three stories share a futuristic setting where Unicorns, a rare form of emotionless, bioengineered human with augmented abilities. In the first story, Adelade Lee is sent out to a remote frontier colony to replace the original Adelade Lee left Earth. Adelade does not have any memories of the original. In 4/4, a young telekinetic falls in love with a Unicorn Girl who was in the Jupiter's genetic experimentation. In the two-part X+Y, the same telekinetic from 4/4 falls in love with another Unicorn Girl in Mars.
