As a law enforcement arm of the erstwhile WCG, the TCTF as a pan-national agency is naturally no longer in existence. The actual personnel for the TCTF and other police/intelligence agencies are still working in regional branches for their own governments. | As a law enforcement arm of the erstwhile WCG, the TCTF as a pan-national agency is naturally no longer in existence.

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). | P.S.: "Syndicate" was the <u>TCTF's</u> [[Quotes/Consoles/level_8b|name for the group]] in the first place, not their own.

We need to ensure that BGI is not too reminiscent of [http://residentevil.wikia.com/Umbrella_Corporation Umbrella Corporation]. One way we can make the distinction is to not have BGI be the public-facing entity, but more of a supra-corporation that owns regular companies. | |||
==Rebellion== | ==Rebellion== | ||
There must still be a Rebellion. See [http://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/issues/2000/06/chase.htm this article] for interesting insights into what makes an intellectual turn violent. Will the Rebellion be overly violent, causing Konoko to turn against them? And how exactly would we handle this, since there’s a conflict between a narrative where Konoko supports an unethical organization and the gameplay that requires the player to guide Konoko in taking part in missions that they don’t approve of? | There must still be a Rebellion.

==Agency RED== | |||
Despite the global fragmentation at the time of Oni 2, Griffin has been placed in charge of a new, trans-national agency called Agency RED. Supposedly this name is not an acronym, but simply describes an agency dedicated to solving the highest (red-level) threats to international security, i.e., terrorism. In truth, the agency only has one mission, and what "RED" really stands for is "Restrain or Eliminate Daodan". The term "Daodan" is not public knowledge, and this acronymic expansion will not be found in writing in even the most classified documents in the offices of the world's governments. Why Griffin would be placed in this important position when he was directly responsible for the creation of one of the prime Daodan symbiotes, as well as the actual source of his group's funding, is known by very few people in the world. | |||
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.... | |||
==Church of the Chrysalis== | ==Church of the Chrysalis== | ||
Might there be a Church of the Daodan/Chrysalis? They worship the symbiotes, the elect few. Cf. Henry Dunn, who wrote, “the election of the few are for the benefit of the many.” | Might there be a Church of the Daodan/Chrysalis? They worship the symbiotes, the elect few. Cf.
