The Cleopatra Corns Group, also known as Cleopatra DC, is a dominant financial conglomerate that governs the bulk of the United States economy, nearly rivaling the power of the federal government. At its helm stands Ms. Cleo, a striking, astute and courageous young Chairperson of the Group. This advantage allows her to cover the costs when an aircraft crashes into her bedroom. With pilfered relics, corporate abductions, and clandestine cyborg ventures going awry, her fortunes only decline further in the world.
