Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus – Die With Honor #1

Alura shows the Kalanthia traitor, who is head of the Cheshire bootleg Replicant program, photos of Stix and Mead, realising they are still alive, he panics and demands she kill them. Alura refuses until Uldren makes good on his promise of delivering bootleg Replicants as promised. Later, she summons Stix and introduces him to the 'Borealis Team' — a three-Cheshire Replicant team who are all clones of the original Aurora Team who served with Stix on Kalanthia. He is ordered to lead them on a mission to hunt down and kill Madame Nomura.

Meanwhile, Mead, still believing that Stix is the killer of Sayo — Nomura's daughter, steals his Cheshire ID card and breaks into Cheshire HQ in search of evidence and witnesses the brutal mass assassination of the Yakuza sub-bosses by a second Cheshire Replicant kill team led by Lerna, who is linked to Alura via one of the two surviving Aurora Yokes.
