The setting is five centuries into the future. Cleo is a topless dancer who goes into suspended animation after having breast augmentation surgery.

Humanity has moved underground and built a complex of elaborate shafts and tunnels created by the "shaft builders" to survive the Bailey menace.

Main Antagonists

Creegan: A dangerous and psychotic scientist, he lacks scruples entirely and carries out a vendetta against Voice whom he claims to know. His goals and methods are massively destructive and he is the most frequent enemy fought by the team. In reality he is Dr. Bailey the creator of the Baileys and the one time lover of Voice. He is in fact still in love with Voice on some level but his psyche has snapped entirely.

Raina: A dangerous psychic, she wields telepathic powers. Though she only appears in two episodes she is considered one of the more memorable villains. Her most beloved trick was to make people see friends as enemies and vice versa. The girls disarmed her of her powers the first time around but this merely made her come after them a second time in an effort to return them by having them returned to her brain in the implant chip.

Baileys: The Bailey units are enormous flying robots with heavy weaponry. They have taken over the surface and forced humans underground. Baileys are slightly more compact in their passive mode than in their aggressive. They will usually attack humans on sight. Their name comes from the man who created them: Dr. Bailey. Cleopatra once developed a psychic connection with a Bailey and tried to use it to the teams advantage.

Betrayers: Betrayers are dangerous robotic enforcers who kidnap people, assimilate their every detail and then kill them, creating a perfect copy of the person in the process. They are usually devoid of emotions and are unrelenting in their missions, taking massive damage and enduring all manner of hardship. They can turn their arms into guns, fire optical blasts, regenerate their bodies and have highly sensitive scanners. They also possess their human counterpart memories which are added to their bodies before their mission programming.

Mauser is a Betrayer but he has been pacified so as not to be a threat to the team and does not use his abilities very often.
