Like regulation androids, Ninja often operate in cooperative groups. Unlike regulation androids, Ninja operate far away from their "base", so they must carry their own emitters to stay connected. One idea is that certain Ninja classes have a set of powerful antennas. Those Ninja centralize the awareness on the level of the platoon, and relay the info to and from a higher level of command.

Platoons of Ninja can be coordinated on-site by a [[AE:Comguy|Comguy]], but that's not necessary. What matters is that the ninjas of a same platoon can be assigned the same alarm group ID. If a Ninja engages the player and the platoon's "antenna ninja" is still alive, then the whole platoon will be notified of the player's whereabouts. If the antenna ninja is dead, there will be no such notification.

Another role of the Ninja is to eliminate rogue elements of the Syndicate on behalf of Mukade. It's not obvious what kind of situation could hint at that plotwise without altering the original missions too much. The most dramatic hint would be in {{C|10}}, with Ninja systematically eliminating all the Strikers that Konoko leaves behind, to make sure there are absolutely no human witnesses.
