After the [[Syndicate]] is contaminated by [[Muro]], since BGI are favorable to stability and so is the [[WCG]], what makes sense is a pact between the two. The WCG can not undergo militarization at the same rate as Muro's Strikers, but it can turn a blind eye at BGI and even encourage the creation of (perfectly illegal) technology supposed to deal, in time, with whatever threat Muro represents (cyborg supersoldiers rivaling [[Barabas]], Muro and [[Mukade]], weapons rivaling the [[WMC]]). Thus the WCG doesn't technically have an army, but it counts on the unofficial BGI rather than on the [[TCTF]] to stabilize the situation. [[Griffin]], however, is unaware of these developments and thinks the only chance to restore balance is to "fight fire with fire", i.e., to make [[Konoko]] into the same kind of human weapon as Muro is. The WCG can't let Griffin know about the pact with BGI and will thus seek other ways to disrupt the [[Daodan]] project, either through investigations questioning the project's ethics and safety, or through sabotage. And of course things will ''really'' go wrong when Konoko encounters and disrupts the very entity that was supposed to counter Muro: BGI. (This concept is elaborated on in [[User:Iritscen|my]] plan for [[User:Iritscen/BGI|a BGI level]].) | After the [[Syndicate]] is contaminated by [[Muro]], since BGI are favorable to stability and so is the [[WCG]], what makes sense is a pact between the two.

There is also a real-world company named [https://www.bgiworldwide.com/ BGI Worldwide Logistics], no relation to [[User:Iritscen/BGI/Overview |this]]. | |||
