Those behind the agency consider the Daodan to be the most dangerous force in the world, and Griffin wholeheartedly agrees. Their basic goal is to try to keep Pandora's Box from opening all the way, before something causes the world to completely descend into chaos. Agency RED's short-term mission is to track down new symbiotes and capture them, or kill them if they cannot be captured. The long-term mission of Agency RED is to find a "cure" for the Daodan threat, that is, some means of neutralizing or killing the Chrysalis. To that end, they are seeking a certain old scientist by the name of Hasegawa, who went missing some years ago.... | Those behind the agency consider the Daodan to be the most dangerous force in the world, and Griffin wholeheartedly agrees.

Broken up after the Cataclysm by in-fighting and raids by the WCG, the Neo-Syndicate consists of local bosses and warlords. Each branch wants to gain the advantage that they will need in order to become the head of the new Syndicate. | |||
*Some of them are supplying arms to nations that are rebuilding their militaries in preparation for a possible World War III. | |||
*One piece (Muro's surviving cronies) has data on the use of the Chrysalis, and is trying to sell Daodan-powered super-soldiers to unscrupulous countries as a private militia (of course they won't actually share the data on how to produce Daodan symbiotes). | |||
*Other factions of the Syndicate might use their private armies and pre-existing connections (see [[Quotes/Consoles#History_of_the_Syndicate|here]], third screen) to seize control over cities, or even a whole nation or two. Heh. [[wikipedia:-stan|Syndicastan]]. | |||
The notion of a Daodan army, or elite group of soldiers, is one that would definitely add some spice to an Oni sequel, but if the Neo-Syndicate, or at least this group within it, has a wise new leader, they might opt not to make an army of Chrysalis-powered super-soldiers. That would be raising the stakes, and if the data on Chrysalises is going to become known to the nations sooner or later, they too can grow the same army. That means [[wikipedia:escalation|escalation]], which could lead to the Neo-Syndicate being wiped out by a super-powered TCTF or [[WCG]]. But if the WCG falls apart post-Cataclysm, there is less they could do against the Syndicate. Result: Syndie baddies that make Tankers look like playthings. At the same time, we should expect the Syndicate factions without knowledge of the Daodan to continue to refine their combat SLD technology. | |||
P.S.: "Syndicate" was the <u>TCTF's</u> [[Quotes/Consoles/level_8b|name for the group]] in the first place, not their own. So "Neo-Syndicate" is also not intended as a term that would be used by this group to apply to itself. In fact, it's little more than a corny placeholder for whatever that group or groups would be called, although it's not impossible that the WCG would really use that term to apply to the new criminal organization(s). | |||
