*Other factions of the Syndicate might use their private armies and pre-existing connections (see [[Quotes/Consoles#History_of_the_Syndicate|here]], third screen) to seize control over cities, or even a whole nation or two. Heh.

The notion of a Daodan army, or elite group of soldiers, is one that would definitely add some spice to an Oni sequel, but if the Neo-Syndicate, or at least this group within it, has a wise new leader, they might opt not to make an army of Chrysalis-powered super-soldiers. That would be raising the stakes, and if the data on Chrysalises is going to become known to the nations sooner or later, they too can grow the same army.

That means [[wikipedia:Conflict_escalation|escalation]], which could lead to the Neo-Syndicate being wiped out by a super-powered TCTF or [[WCG]]. But if the WCG falls apart post-Cataclysm, there is less they could do against the Syndicate. Result: Syndie baddies that make Tankers look like playthings. At the same time, we should expect the Syndicate factions without knowledge of the Daodan to continue to refine their combat SLD technology. | ||
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.
