A connection to the Yakuza would make it impossible for her to continue work at the sci prison. The visible tattoos were made by sprays of color and aggressive lasers - not like the ones used for removal. It had to be done quickly before the Griffin could show up. The invisible, ''medical tattoo'' was connected to an old Syndicate ID. The body scanners at the airport would detect it and store the information inside the TCTF database. Takahashi invested some money so he would later have access to this information. Besides kicking Maria out of the Daodan program therefor destroying her remaining link to Mai, Takahashi wanted to know where the program was located. He hoped that the information is valuable enough as a reinsurance in case the Syndicate visits him in person. After the cataclysm Takahashi offers to switch sides and give Kumo the information in order to spare his life. Kumo was pro-BGI and defied Muro's ideological goals. Kumo sends a team to Green Village to retrieve Daodan Chrysalis for his own purposes. When the Yakuza realized how bad the situation was for just everyone they started in undermine the power of local Syndicate forces again. They helped out GATC to rescue Griffin from an attacked hospital.] | ||

Bertram's final speech: | |||
We | ''We are able to fly to Moon and Mars but we are not able to print or grow new organs.'' | ||
''We don't even have systemically studied the substances in plants that old cultures knew to be effective.'' | |||
''With full body simulations we can actually do this. But we haven't.'' | |||
''It's a shame. It's depressing. And it's a wonder that we can name ourselves doctor and not turn red.'' | |||
''In many areas medicine is technological still in the stone age.'' | |||
''As long as we have to cut the human body open and destroy tissue and bones to repair the target region as that long we should not be satisfied by our success.'' | |||
''We lost the race against multi-resistant bacteria.'' | |||
''And now look at the Daodan. A quantum lead in every aspect - but not a small step as the phrase may suggest.'' | |||
''The Daodan is a new tool, it might be just as unethically keeping it in the drawer as to give it to the people.'' | |||
''Only by having the opportunity to learn new we can improve.'' |
