'''Date:''' before Nov. 22

|Konoko is "almost ready for field missions" and trains in some kind or "armored catsuit". No other female operative is seen wearing such a suit (for one, [[Karen]] is shown training in plain cop clothes). Still, it's probably standard-issue, not a unique piece, or she wouldn't be perceived as a "rookie" so easily.<br>As Konoko's trademark suit, it gets a lot of screen time, but is actually worn into battle on only two occasions (see below).

'''Date:''' Nov. 22<br>(early afternoon)

|Shortly after the training (which may have taken place in a virtual environment), Griffin goes ahead with "Phase Three" of his contingency plan against Muro, and sends Konoko on a "trial run" (a simple mission without much fighting expected). However, due to Konoko's zealous attitude, the "simple bust" draws off into a prolonged "Act 1", leading to an encounter with Muro and prompting his dramatic "counterattack" later on.

'''Date:''' Nov. 22<br>(late afternoon)

|After Griffin agrees to let Konoko investigate the Musashi lead, we see her [[:Image:Chapter_1_.MISSION_COMPLETE.png|ride her Bungie bike]] to get there, along with two of the TCTF agents from the warehouse operation. Once at Musashi, the due procedure is to walk through the front door and "ask first", therefore Konoko changes into an officer's suit, which she may have kept from her time at HQ earlier that day. The ornate insignia suggest quite a career as a desk cop.

'''Date:''' Nov. 22<br>(near sunset)

|valign=top|After realizing that Musashi is merely a diversion from Muro's assault on Vago -- and after defeating the Deadly Brain so that she can exit the Musashi facility --, Konoko slips back into the armored catsuit that she left at the TCTF van, jumps on her bike and speeds over to Vago (which is only 10 minutes away).<br><br>'''Note:''' Her officer's suit is apparently left behind this time.

'''Date:''' Nov. 22<br>(evening, after dark)

|Unable to stop Muro's escape from Vago, Konoko picks up her bike, somehow gets past the entrance gate, then catches up with Muro's van as it reaches the airport (by then, night has fallen and the airport is overrun by Strikers). Muro takes the long way to the VTOL that is waiting for him (supposedly the van can just drive there?) -- this is partly to distract Konoko from the van, partly to allow [[Kojiro]] more time to monitor her.

'''Date:''' Nov. 24<br>(early morning, graveyard shift)

|The next night, Konoko is sporting casual biker's attire as she rides towards TCTF HQ. Perhaps she is on graveyard shift duty (in which case she's late), or she forgot something important at her desk (like what?), or she is just having one of her hunches.<br><br>Witnessing the Syndicate attack, she is able to slide under a closing blast door at full racing speed. Don't try this at home!

'''Date: ''' Nov. 24<br>(early morning)

|Later that night, following Shinatama's kidnapping, Konoko defies Griffin's orders to stay put. Although not on a mission, she dons her TCTF armor, and does a daring glider stunt.

'''Note:''' [[Karen]] is encountered as part of the "strike team" that Griffin sent ahead of Konoko. Karen's plain cop uniform tends to suggest that the armored catsuit is exclusively Konoko's.

'''Date: ''' Nov. 26<br>(early evening)

|Upon going rogue, Konoko apparently has at least one secret stash or hideout that the TCTF doesn't know about (possibly some items were stashed at the ACC before the glider routine). That is how she is able to dish out so many clothes and accessories (biker's gear, laptop, gun), even though her usual living quarters are probably under close surveillance.<br>More thoughts about the stash and/or hideout later on.

'''Date: ''' Nov. 28<br>(late evening)

|valign=top|Supposedly Konoko starts by locating the lab where her father used to work N years back (somehow deserted and unguarded, maybe in an area that was lost to the BioCrisis a while ago?). Or perhaps she is hiding somewhere less exotic (such as in a sealed-off apartment [[:Image:Chapter_10_.MISSION_COMPLETE.png|behind police lines]]), and visits the lab in VR, using 3D scans that Hasegawa made? Either way, she conjures up some pizza (hence the "note to self" on Nov. 29).

'''Date: ''' Nov. 30<br>(early evening)

|A day or so after perusing the CD and having a nightmare over it, Konoko sets off to infiltrate the high-security Science Prison where her uncle is kept. Apparently she infiltrates the security lobby from the roof, and then waits for a patrol to come around so that she can sneak into a corridor of death. Typical Konoko.

----

'''Date:''' Dec. 2<br>(late evening)

|Following her ordeal at the Science Prison, Konoko has been off Griffin's radar for "over 48 hours". Whatever happened between the acid bath and Konoko's raid on the TCTF HQ, she seems to have healed, and also retrieved some fancy clothes and biker's gear from a secret stash or hideout (the jacket has been seen previously in Chapters 9 and 10, the rest is new).

'''Date:''' Dec. 3<br>(morning? evening?)

|Depending on her intel and transportation, Konoko may have traveled to Muro's secret facility immediately after Chapter 13, or the following night. She is wearing the same outfit as when confronting Griffin, except for the more casual pants and shoes. Perhaps she ''was'' planning to don the more combat-fitting biker gear upon arrival, but then had to abandon ship (unless she's crazy and jumped from a plane on purpose).
