Shortly after the events of {{C|5}}, the regional headquarters of the [[TCTF]] is raided by [[Strikers]], led by [[Barabas]] as [[Muro]] instructed (and also, apparently, by Muro's [[Kojiro|companion comguy]]): they easily overwhelm the night shift of the TCTF and cause massive damage to computers and structural elements. Konoko manages to enter the building just before the lockdown. As she starts ascending through the building, the Strikers shut down the power, disabling static defenses (turrets). Before Konoko can reach the Command Chambers, the Strikers invade the whole building and Barabas kidnaps Shinatama. Konoko continues her ascent with a typically theatrical feat: she cuts the elevator cables so that the counterweight can drag her up the shaft. Eventually Konoko reaches the roof, just in time to see Shinatama taken away in a helicopter. Waiting for her on the helipad is Barabas, eager for a rematch. Upon killing him, Konoko experiences an [[Daodan#Daodan spike|ecstatic surge of power]], which is apparently not noticed either by Griffin or by Konoko herself. She then sets out to rescue Shinatama. | Shortly after the events of {{C|5}}, the regional headquarters of the [[TCTF]] is raided by [[Strikers]], led by [[Barabas]] as [[Muro]] instructed (and also, apparently, by Muro's [[Kojiro|companion comguy]]): they easily overwhelm the night shift of the TCTF and cause massive damage to computers and structural elements.

*[[Konoko]]'s diary and the initial mission objective note three important things about the raid: the attack is taking place during the [[wikipedia:graveyard shift|graveyard shift]], whereby the defenders are outnumbered over 3 to 1; neither the helicopters nor the van were detected by the network of drones patrolling the city; the attackers quickly brought down the static defenses by deactivating the power substations. Apparently the lockdown triggered by the van was also part of the plan. All this intelligence can be explained by [[Muro]] having some informants/agents at the TCTF (or in other relevant branches of the WCG) and/or by the superior hacking skills of Muro's men: [[Mukade]] and the [[Comguy]]s come to mind, all the more so as the raid seems to be coordinated by [[Kojiro|Muro's "personal comguy"]]. | *[[Konoko]]'s diary and the initial mission objective note three important things about the raid: the attack is taking place during the [[wikipedia:graveyard shift|graveyard shift]], whereby the defenders are outnumbered over 3 to 1; neither the helicopters nor the van were detected by the network of drones patrolling the city; the attackers quickly brought down the static defenses by deactivating the power substations.
