 escape after she disabled the Deadly Brain controlling the building's security
 systems.
+Upon reaching the research facility, Konoko had her first battle with Barabas.
+Barabas was defeated, and promptly escaped. However, Konoko was unable to apprehend
+Muro at the facility, and so pursued him to the Airport, chasing him through the
+terminal bays and the Airport hangers. Muro found out about Konoko's neural link to
+Shinatama, and sent Barabas to 'retrieve' Shinatama from the TCTF Regional HQ.
+Konoko managed to enter the TCTF Regional HQ as it fell under attack from Syndicate
+forces. Despite gaining assistance from the beseiged TCTF personnel still alive after
+the attack, Konoko was unable to stop Barabas from capturing Shinatama, and fought
+him for a second time on the roof of the HQ, as Shinatama was carried away in a
+Syndicate helcopter.
 ===Rogue agent===
-When Shinatama is kidnapped from the TCTF HQ, Konoko decides to go after her.
-*Konoko: Don't worry Shinatama. I'm on my way.
-... says she right after defeating Barabas.
-Yet Commander Griffin is strongly opposed to her initiative :
+NOTE: I've removed the conversations from the pages. Scripts can be referenced to
-*Konoko: I'm going after her.
+from there - '''ItemfinderDeluxe'''
-*Griffin: I have dispatched a Strike Team to recover the SLD.
-*Konoko: This is personal.
+When Shinatama is kidnapped from the TCTF HQ, Konoko decided to rescue Shinatama
-*Griffin: Which is precisely why you should have nothing to do with it.
+personally. Griffin, on the other hand, opposed her decision, stating that he had

+already sent a strike team to retrieve Shinatama. In spite of this, Konoko disobeyed
-*Griffin: I am your Commanding Officer...
+his orders, and went to the Atmospheric Processor where Muro had taken Shinatama.
-*Konoko: I don't care who you are. My friend is in trouble and I'm going to help her if I can. Stay out of my way.
-Disobeying a direct order from her commanding officer already qualifies Konoko as a rogue agent at the beginning of {{C7}}.
-OK, we don't see a direct order in that dialogue, but the "I don't ''care'' who you are" is a case of major insubordination in ''any'' book.
+Whilst Konoko was able to reach Shinatama, she was unable to save her, as Muro had
+Shinatama tortured and severely damaged (the reasons for doing so are many and
+debateable). Here, Konoko learns that her actual name is Mai Hasegawa, and that
+Shinatama had been constructed to monitor the development of the [[Chrysalis]]
+inside her. Then, Griffin, unhappy with Konoko and Kerr, ordered Shinatama's
+self-detonation, in order to kill Konoko. Shinatama was unable to override the
+command, but bought enough time for Konoko to escape the blast radius.
 So, technically speaking, Mai is not on a mission in {{C7}} and {{C8}} : as good as not affiliated with the TCTF at all. She's on her own.
