There have also been "Freedom Riots" (briefly mentioned in a weapon's description), as well as more or less violent clashes between the WCG state and eco-activists, following the revelations/suspicions about the highly toxic areas surrounding the atmospheric processors. It is in the context of this struggle that [[Hasegawa]] and [[Jamie]] set off to "trespass" into one of these Zones, where Jamie (according to Hasegawa's record) is "hyper-infected" by the toxic environment and put out of her misery (shot) by Hasegawa himself. Through Jamie's death, this contamination plays a key role in the genesis of Hasegawa's Daodan project (a universal cure that is supposed to defend humans against even the most virulent toxins). And it is the Daodan project which, developed under the [[Syndicate]]'s wing, eventually sets Oni's whole plot in motion. | There have also been "Freedom Riots" (briefly mentioned in a weapon's description), as well as more or less violent clashes between the WCG state and eco-activists, following the revelations/suspicions about the highly toxic areas surrounding the atmospheric processors.

As for the "Great Uprising", it looks like it designates the WCG's rise to power itself, i.e., unlike the "Freedom Riots", the Great Uprising is ''not'' an infamous rebellion, but rather the heroic establishment of the New World Order.) | ||
