When spliced | Konoko sneaks into the so-called "[[TCTF Science Prison]]" to find Dr. Kerr, who tells her about the solution he developed with her father in order to allow humanity to survive the growing pollution. They had named it a "[[Daodan|Daodan Chrysalis]]". When spliced into a human body, it was supposed to allow the host to rapidly adapt to dangerous environments. Two Chrysalis prototypes were started growing in the lab, one based on Hasegawa's daughter, Konoko... and one based on his son, Muro. | ||

They captured Dr. Hasegawa and Muro, but Kerr escaped with Konoko (and the Chrysalis based on Konoko's DNA, apparently) and fled to the TCTF. Griffin, the head of the regional branch of the TCTF, forced Kerr to implant Konoko with the Chrysalis as a countermeasure in case the Syndicate did the same (Konoko was seven at the time). | ||
As a Chrysalis host suffers damage, it alters the body to prevent further similar damage; eventually, the Chrysalis has replaced all the organs of the host with its own improved versions. The final form that the host body takes, says Dr. Kerr, is "an expression of [their] true nature". | |||

Kerr leaps in front of her, taking the shot. After killing Kerr's murderer, Konoko decides to claim revenge on the TCTF. First, she must escape the net that is closing down around her. To escape the Science Prison, she is forced to test the theory that the Chrysalis can adapt to protect her, by diving into a biomatter disposal vat filled with acid. | ||
