so much for symmetry: here's a fourth point that's too important to leave out (it's always been in the Overview); also, clarity on the glider
(added another point under "Big places"; that makes three points under each section, how interesting) |

2. Chapter 13, however, is more mysterious, as she shows up at the very top of the TCTF Regional HQ building — a sensible way to get directly to Griffin, yes, but only remotely possible if she had air transportation. | 2. Chapter 13, however, is more mysterious, as she shows up at the very top of the TCTF Regional HQ building — a sensible way to get directly to Griffin, yes, but only remotely possible if she had air transportation. It's true that Konoko uses a glider at the start of Chapter 7 while entering the ACC, but it's very unlikely she still has it after the events of Ch. 8–12. | ||
3. In Chapter 12, she is first seen on top of a rack of lighting in a security tower that overlooks the Science Prison. This tower is the highest place in the level, and it has monitors that tell us there are cameras everywhere. The room has two doors, and numerous windows around the high-rise ceiling. The rack of lights is suspended from the ceiling by cables, and is midway down from the ledge that runs along the inside and outside of the windows. | 3.

We know that it would be too | We know that it would be too disconnected to only have BGI appear in their own level and nowhere else, so first we show BGI observing Konoko from a distance, gradually making it more obvious that a third party is watching her. Think of this as a ramp-up to the BGI level. | ||

3. At the end of Chapter 12, Konoko has just survived a swim through acid. The BGI level comes next. At the beginning of it, we insert a cutscene showing that she made her way back to the dropship to recover. She has some basic supplies inside, including spare clothes, and she has changed into the outfit she wears in Chapter 13. In the original story, her next action was to seek out Griffin for revenge. That's really no more helpful than seeking out the people who sent this dropship after her, so who's to say she won't do that next instead? Perhaps she is sitting in the cockpit, the ship cloaked and on the ground, and uses the communications equipment to listen in on transmissions from BGI, and something catches her interest. It won't take a lot of work to produce a cutscene to that effect. | 3. At the end of Chapter 12, Konoko has just survived a swim through acid. The BGI level comes next.

4. This one is not BGI-related, but serves to bring the story back onto its original track: after stopping BGI's plan, Konoko hears Shinatama calling to her through their neural link – even though the link with TCTF was severed according to Griffin's scientist at the start of Ch. 13. This is part of what draws Konoko back to TCTF HQ, and it also provides context for the scientist there who tells Konoko that he was forced to do something with Shinatama. Konoko grows angry with him, but why would she react that way unless she suspects Shinatama is alive? Probably it makes sense to have two or three VOs from Shinatama: at the end of BGI, possibly the beginning of TCTF HQ, and somewhere further into the TCTF HQ as well. | |||
