Volume I: The Apsinthion Protocol. Gnosis College juniors Nanetta Rector and Moira Weir each independently discover that psychology professor Joseph Corwin and his famula Li Anwei are conducting some very peculiar mad science in an old brewery not far off campus. The erotic nature of his experiments raise utopian hopes in the undergraduates, but the activities of fellow student Ashley Madder, a U.S. Senator’s daughter resentful at being excluded from Corwin’s charmed circle of mad science, may prove the downfall of them all.

Jill Keeney will be studying in a small Latin American country with deeply troubled politics. And Iris Brockman is heading off to find what she can find in the metropolis of Tokyo. Before heading off, the four friends make a bet among themselves as to which among them can have the wildest experience.

With a little help from Aloysius, Maureen manages to steal some invivisbility technology from an amoral physics professor, while Willie discovers with psychology professor Rebecca Waite that one’s point of view might be far more flexible than one might otherwise think. What will Maureen find in Gnosis’s dark corners when no one thinks you are there?

Volume VIII: Gnosis Transformations. In a prequel story Edith Sterling, a teuthologist desparing of her career prospects, agrees to submit to an experimental technology that will transform her from a woman into an octopus, the life of which she will then live out as a strange form of exploratory research. Before her transformation she manages to transmit the secret of the technology to her friend Rebecca Waite, a scientist at Gnosis College. In the main story, young Taylor Chase falls in love with big-city sophisticate Marie Martin, who vanishes into a purgatory of sexual slavery thanks to the cooperation of Colonel Madder and the sinister Kupler organization. Determined to redeem his love, Taylor agrees to undergo his own gender-swap transformation with the aims of infiltrating the strange sex-slavery world. What he finds there shocks him to his core. In a pendant story, Tanya Yip lives out her own strange fantasy, a self-transformation in the service of music.
