In a strange combination of live action and stop motion Eileen plays Miki Manson who is wired directly into a part mystical and part technological being fighting against an evil entity Baal with a book of magic that allows her alter ego to transform into a variety of different creatures. Hair wild and with a glowing collar Miki (Eileen) floats in a glowing harness of cables and bondage gear in this short series of completely mental films. This live-action/stop motion and CGI animated rarity was influenced by equal parts British B-horror films, television action adventure and Japanese anime. Dr. Churchill a reclusive scientist, uncovers evidence that the pre-Christian demons of ancient mythologies are real, and that they will return soon to reclaim the Earth as their own. He tries to warn the governments of the world, but, as is often the case in these stories, is met with ridicule. His professional standing and credibility destroyed, he disappears. Later, his prediction comes true, as the gigantic extraterrestrials Baal and his consort Dygon descend on the world's capitals and begin the enslavement of humanity. Conventional militaries are unable to defend against the onslaught. All that stands between "The Anti-God" and the end of the world is Dr. Churchill and his covert resistance force of scientists and high-tech soldiers, DOOMSHIELD, aided by their secret weapon, an ancient magical semi-sentient mechanoid known as the Archangel Thunderbird. The vehicle requires a human pilot, but only someone with an incredibly rare psychological makeup can operate it. Enter Miki Manson, an extremely disturbed woman suffering from multiple personality disorder. The powers and abilities of the Archangel Thunderbird vary depending on which of Miki's personalities is in control when she enters the cockpit. Churchill and his assistants are challenged not just by the forces of Baal and Dygon, but also by the need to keep Miki under control so that she can continue to pilot the mechanoid This meant that Eileen had to change her performance depending on which aspect of Miki’s psyche she was portraying at any given time. Neil Gaiman gives a strange shrieking performance as the voice of Baal.
