added lede linking to location of level; some wording (it seems odd to refer to her as "Mai" suddenly for the last chapter)

+==Summary==
+Konoko reaches the compound in some sort of aircraft and jumps down in a state of [[Daodan]] overpower. She soon finds most of the installations are underground.
-From reading Sturmanderung consoles, Mai realizes that Muro has altered the Atmospheric Conversion Centers to pollute the air instead of cleansing it; a disaster from which only the Chrysalis could save humankind. Mai theorizes, "He's planning to kill everyone who doesn't sell his soul to him for a Chrysalis." Konoko sees no other option than to sabotage the signal that is about to be broadcast to the ACCs, in order to destroy them before they can begin spewing polluted air into the Cities.
+Once inside, she hijacks an armored truck and breaks through some blast doors, reaching the heart of the complex: a giant room for a supercomputer, next to which is a silo with a concealed satellite dish. She learns that the system controls an array of satellites which are to be used to send a pulse to the world's [[Atmospheric Conversion Center]]s, as the final phase of [[Muro]]'s project [[STURMANDERUNG|Sturmanderung]]. Muro has altered the ACCs to pollute the air instead of cleansing it, a disaster from which only the [[Chrysalis]] could save humankind.

-Then, she heads to the rooftop to face Muro. Fight A takes place if Griffin was killed by the player in the previous chapter; otherwise, fight B occurs.
+Having done this, she heads to the rooftop on the satellite dish's elevator to face Muro. Fight A takes place if [[Griffin]] was killed by the player in the previous chapter; otherwise, fight B occurs.
 A: Muro faces her one-on-one, and transforms to his Imago state, the next stage of evolution of the Chrysalis inside him. He proves to be monstrously powerful.<br>
-B: Muro chastises her for coming alone, when suddenly Griffin (in Black Ops armor) and three Black Ops soldiers disembark from a helicopter. Konoko, Griffin and his men face off against Muro and many of his best subordinates.

 Upon Muro's defeat, the sabotaged version of Sturmanderung occurs, the results of which are depicted in the Mission Complete screen and the ending animated cutscene.
 ==Added Value==
-*Griffin's status as a member of TCTF Black Ops was mentioned in [[Quotes/Consoles#Terrance_Griffin|this console]]. Thus, while he may have had to dust off his armor when he took it out of his closet, we shouldn't be surprised that he can fight alongside his men.

-*Players are never told where Mai falls from at the start of this Chapter, but in a Q&A session on the {{OCF}}, animator [[Credits|Steve Abeyta]] said it was a plane. Clearly her power has increased considerably with the further development of her Chrysalis (although it should be noted that she is in Daodan overpower mode at the time, and her basic strength does not appear to be greater as one plays this level).

 *It seems odd that Mai knows where to look for Muro. True, she does write in her diary, "The tracker readings from his plane project him touching down somewhere deep in the mountains." So one can assume that she rents or steals a plane and goes looking for a compound. But if she could infer this on her own, then why couldn't the TCTF? Perhaps they did, as the B variant of the fight with Muro has Griffin showing up to help. Whether he tracked Mai or simply went where he thought Muro would be found, we'll never know. Even if the general location of the Compound was suspected after {{C|5}}, Oni's story is a fast succession of events, and perhaps only now are Mai and Griffin ready to fight Muro, or aware of his exact location.
