Two years after the incident at the utopian city Olympus, Deunan Knute and Briareos Hecatonchires of the counter-terrorism unit E-SWAT rescue a group of European Union officials from cyborgs.

Deunan continues E-SWAT work, meeting her new partner, Tereus, who surprisingly resembles Briareos' human form.

Deunan notices that many Olympus citizens are wearing Connexus; a device on their ears which projects holographic data over the eyes.

Because many of these cyborgs consist of parts made by Poseidon, a multinational industrial conglomerate, an emissary is sent to Prime Minister Athena.

Meanwhile, Hitomi hosts a birthday party, in which Deunan is happy to find Briareos attending now that he's fully recovered.

The next day, Athena and an assemblage of world leaders discuss making a global security network by merging all the satellites worldwide to prevent terrorist attacks.

Soon, a variety of vehicles and non-cybernetic humans begin to assault the conference, much to the confusion of ESWAT and the regular police.

He stops it but suddenly goes berserk and hacks into a public terminal, crashing the main satellite control, forcing Olympus to switch to a backup.

He has Hitomi look up Kestner's files, learning that he once worked with Poseidon's Halcon Laboratories — but all records of his project are mysteriously erased.

He reveals that he secretly injected Briareos with nanites designed to take control of his body when his adrenaline is heated.

The contest's aim was to have fans remix the Appleseed: Ex Machina trailer into new short videos, using clips from the film and songs from the soundtrack.
