Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex #5
In "The Immortal Girl," Section 9 is sent deep into a rogue maritime platform seized by anti-cybernetic extremists, where they must extract a government team and uncover the truth behind a chilling anomaly: the group’s leader is the long-abducted daughter of a top cyber-prosthetics CEO—someone who hasn’t aged in sixteen years. Written by Stephen Paul and lettered by Paige Pumphrey, this issue blends tense espionage with the series’ signature philosophical edge, probing identity and memory in a world where the line between human and machine is increasingly blurred.

Section 9 is assigned to infiltrate an off-shore maritime platform that has been taken over by anti-cybernetic terrorists and rescue a team sent in by another branch of government. Of interest is the fact that the terrorists seem to be led by the daughter of a leading cyber-prostetic manufacturer abducted sixteen years ago, who apparently hasn't aged since then.
