[[Konoko]] goes through some basic training (not necessarily part of the game's story, but more of a tutorial for the player). She receives messages via a neural link from [[Shinatama]], an [[SLD]] at the [[TCTF]].

We next see her outside an unnamed warehouse. Her superior, Commander [[Griffin]], and one Dr. [[Kerr]], argue about whether Konoko is ready for the challenge. Griffin commands her to find [[Chung]], a TCTF agent who infiltrated the warehouse to find ties to the [[Syndicate]]. If she can find Chung or the evidence she needs, Griffin can shut the warehouse down or she can shut it down herself. She confirms her readiness, and Shinatama reports a normal spike in adrenaline.

Konoko ventures into the warehouse and finds the TCTF's mole, Chung, lying dead out in the open. Beside him is a pad with notes documenting a tie between the small-time warehouse and [[Musashi Manufacturing]]. Meanwhile, Syndicate troops are moving some contraband into an armored truck to get it out of the warehouse. Konoko stops them by commandeering a crane/forklift and flipping the truck on its side. She then demands that Griffin let her investigate the lead Chung's pad gave her, since Musashi is owned by [[BGI]], and Griffin has reported in the past that BGI may be in league with the Syndicate. Shinatama warns that Konoko is de-stabilizing as they argue, so Griffin lets her go.

'''Added Value'''

Although Griffin merely has suspicions about the warehouse, clearly it has already been overrun by the Syndicate by the time Konoko arrives, as Chung is lying right out in the open, and troops are running all over the place. The terse conversation between Konoko and Griffin when Chung's body is reported gives us a glimpse of how cold Griffin can be. Griffin is not just some desk jockey who politicked his way to his current position, he's a former Elite soldier, and as such, has probably been hardened to steel by his life experiences.
