Renegade human combat cyborg and their partner, the laboratory mouse that was experimented on to develop the human's upgrades. The mouse has tiny versions of all of the human's implants. The human doesn't have "I never asked for this" chrome angst, but the mouse does, which they regularly bring up to guilt-trip their companion. Each clearly thinks of the other as their sidekick.
(At one point the human is incapacitated and the mouse is obliged to "pilot" their body via smartlink to get them both out of a jam. The obvious Ratatouille joke is deftly avoided in favour of a brief Mobile Suit Gundam pastiche.)
