Its position may have been given away by the tracker Mai planted on Muro's VTOL plane in {{C5}}. Mai reaches the place in some sort of aircraft and jumps down in a state of [[Daodan]] overpower. | ||

She finds herself reacquainted with the Syndicate, whom she hadn't fought in a while. She jacks an armored truck in the cargo bay and breaks through the blast doors, reaching the heart of the complex: a giant computer room, next to which is a silo with a concealed emitter. This system is supposed to uplink to an array of satellites and send a pulse to the [[ACC]]s worldwide, as the final phase of Muro's project [[STURMANDERUNG]]. | ||
From reading Sturmanderung consoles, Mai realizes that Muro is planning to reroute the Atmospheric Conversion Centers to pollute the air instead of cleansing it; a disaster from which only the Chrysalis could save humankind. | From reading Sturmanderung consoles, Mai realizes that Muro is planning to reroute the Atmospheric Conversion Centers to pollute the air instead of cleansing it; a disaster from which only the Chrysalis could save humankind. Mai theorizes, "He's planning to kill everyone who doesn't sell his soul to him for a Chrysalis." Konoko sees no other option than triggering Muro's plan prematurely, causing only some ACCs to fail and giving humanity longer to survive. She sabotages the dish that is supposed to broadcast the signal to scramble to ACCs. | ||

*Finally, we never see Mai's Imago state. Why not? She's had her Chrysalis about as long as Muro's had his, as far as we know. We can only speculate as to whether her transformation would be so monstrous, or so dramatic, or whether it would resemble the original Mai more closely, since she was not nearly as savage as Muro. Still, she wasn't a saint, so if one expects the Imago state to reflect how "pure" one is, she might well turn out to have a somewhat frightening appearance, if not so drastically as Muro did. It's possible that morality in any absolute sense is not a factor in the Imago state's appearance, but even if it is simply a matter of how much killing a Daodan host does, and the Chrysalis adapting to that life to make the host a more efficient killer, you could still expect Muro's nature as a wanton killer to make him more monstrous than Mai, even if she herself changed in a similar way. | *Finally, we never see Mai's Imago state.
