It is plan A that worked (although plan B was activated too). Muro was raised as a human weapon, and the Syndicate (Council/Hydra) was too late in realizing that they could never control him. | |||
New allegiances sprung up. Some were subjugated by Muro's charisma (he is the ultimate alpha male), others simply seized the opportunity to free themselves from the council's authority. | |||
The Council convoked a plenary session that was supposed to vote the termination of the Daodan project, and it is at this moment that Muro struck, eliminating most of the conservative decision-makers and influencers. | |||
A few Syndicate "bosses" (either cautious or lucky) survived the initial purge, but their troops and hired assassins were no match from Muro and the fanatic "Strikers" that assembled around him. | |||
This is, in a nutshell, the story of the "coup" that turned a mostly conservative Syndicate (committed to a stable coexistence with the WCG) into some much more unpredictable and radical ("TITAN"?). | |||
Muro | Muro was still a teenage boy at this time, and Hasegawa secured his place as Muro's most infuential advisor. The first task was to suppress all resistance and rule out any resurgence of the "old Syndicate". | ||
Hasegawa ( | Hasegawa (helped by Mukade's engrams) suggested to resort to freelancers: a new generation of assassins and hackers who related to the "wind of change" embodied by Muro's coup (such as [[Kojiro]]). | ||
Each of those neo-mercenaries who managed to eliminate one of Muro's major opponents gained access to Hasegawa's "circle of honor" and became a candidate for Daodan/Chrysalis implantation. | |||
This is how a new technocratic and intellectual "core" assembled around Hasegawa. Meanwhile, Muro was continuing to redefine the moral identity of his growing army of "Strikers". | |||
Muro's declared goal was Project [[STURMANDERUNG]]: a biological ultimatum to the WCG civilization and, eventually, a forced "hyperevolution" of Mankind (subjected to Muro's authority). | |||
The cynicism of this project (deliberate pollution, anarchy/feudalism) is striking. Such a nightmarish scenario fits in well with Muro's megalomania, but not so much with the supposed altruism of his father! (Muro's "I've accomplished everything our father dreamed of doing." is also very disturbing in that respect.) | |||

"Le vrai Mukade" (qu'on a aussi appelé le [[Oni2:A Storyline#Hasegawa|Vieillard]]) reste dans l'ombre et on ne le voit jamais. Soit il ne fait rien, soit il a émigré à la périphérie en train de construire un Fight Club (qui pourra ensuite devenir [[Oni2:Phoenix|Phoenix]] dans le sujet d'Oni 2). | "Le vrai Mukade" (qu'on a aussi appelé le [[Oni2:A Storyline#Hasegawa|Vieillard]]) reste dans l'ombre et on ne le voit jamais.
