:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Oni&amp;#039;s premise and storyline as I&amp;#039;d explain it to total strangers. Just to see if I can fit it all on a single page.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]])&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Probably too long for an elevator ride (well, depends on the elevator). But I tried very hard to keep it concise.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]])&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Overstatement (if any) is only for the sake of conciseness, and tries to conform to the community canon-so-far.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]])&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;The talk page can be used to discuss/refine some statements until they are comfortably ambiguous/consensual.&amp;#039;&amp;#039; &amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;[[User:Geyser|geyser]] ([[User talk:Geyser|talk]])&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{divhide|&amp;amp;nbsp;Pre-pre-pre-premise|align=left|color=silver}}&lt;br /&gt;
In an alternative 21st century, the Earth has somehow &amp;quot;opened up&amp;quot; to paranormal phenomena and entities, seemingly coming from another dimension.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Thus, in a short time span, science has discovered force fields, energy beams, invisibility, teleportation, as well as mysterious immaterial &amp;quot;[[Screaming Cell|creatures]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These new realities are not only disturbing on their own, they have also taken the ordinary issues of pollution and organized crime to a new level: &lt;br /&gt;
*a criminal &amp;quot;[[Network]]&amp;quot; (like the Mafia, but cooler) aims to seize control of the emerging technologies, hogging all the best scientists and their tools;&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Wilderness Preserve|natural areas are alienated beyond redemption]], through man-made waste and/or spontaneous mutation, and threaten to infect the world as a whole.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A totalitarian [[WCG|World Coalition Government]] has [[Great Uprising|claimed power]], so as to regulate the new threats: environmental issues ([[BioCrisis]]) and technological crime.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;[[Freedom Riots]]&amp;quot; have opposed the new order during the first year(s), but didn&amp;#039;t last long due to the WCG&amp;#039;s convincing crisis management (and propaganda):&lt;br /&gt;
*[[ACC|Atmospheric Processors]] seemingly protect the cities against the BioCrisis (an impressive measure, but precarious and not clearly viable in the long run);&lt;br /&gt;
*the [[TCTF|Tech Crime Task Force]] cracks down on the Network (which, however, is not defeated, transforming into an elusive and more aggressive &amp;quot;[[Syndicate]]&amp;quot;). &lt;br /&gt;
This results in a dystopian status-quo that forms the basis of Oni&amp;#039;s premise. Techno-criminal and environmental threats are contained - but for how long?&lt;br /&gt;

|In a dystopian world, a totalitarian government ([[WCG]]) is managing a [[BioCrisis|worldwide environmental crisis]] ([[ACC|24/7 air filtering]] in all the big cities) and cracks down on illegal technology ([[TCTF|Tech Crime Task Force]]).&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Some of the environmental/technological troubles are of &amp;quot;alien&amp;quot; (transdimensional) origin, some are man-made. All of the threats are seemingly contained, although somewhat precariously/hypocritically.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
{{divhide|&amp;amp;nbsp;Pre-pre-premise|align=left|color=silver}}&lt;br /&gt;
A [[Hasegawa|brilliant biologist]]&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;bio&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Oni canon does not say what [[Hasegawa]]&amp;#039;s field of expertise was prior to [[Jamie]]&amp;#039;s death, but biotechnology is the most likely. Besides Daodan tech, Oni&amp;#039;s world notably features &amp;#039;&amp;#039;another&amp;#039;&amp;#039; universal cure/palliative - the widely accepted [[Quotes/Items#hypo|hypo sprays]] -, so it is tempting to imply that Hasegawa&amp;#039;s initial research revolved around those &amp;quot;active neuro-biological reinforcing elements&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and eco-activist loses [[Jamie|his wife]] to the [[BioCrisis]] during an excursion into one of the [[Wilderness Preserve|Contaminated Zones]], and vows to give a meaning to her sacrifice.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;In his view, the world is growing poisonous (pollution? mutation?) and the humans will need a universal cure/palliative to survive the inevitable environmental breakdown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being already in trouble with WCG law&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;As an activist [[Hasegawa]] was already guilty of denouncing uncomfortable truths about the BioCrisis. Trespassing into a [[Wilderness Preserve]] and mercy-killing his wife only made his case worse.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, [[Hasegawa]] (that&amp;#039;s his name) cannot do research in official labs, and ends up under the wing of the criminal [[Network]]/[[Syndicate]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The [[Network]] may have been head-hunting [[Hasegawa]] for a while prior to Jamie&amp;#039;s death, and would naturally make him a new offer once he ended up on trial as both a murderer and an enemy of the state.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hasegawa&amp;#039;s expertise in cellular biology&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;bio&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, combined with daring transdimensional experiments&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The transdimensional (a.k.a. &amp;quot;out-of-Earth-phase&amp;quot;) origin of Daodan symbiosis is not explicit, but it makes sense considering the paranormal superpowers that seem to come with it (regeneration, telekinesis, teleportation, summoning), as well as the existence of such &amp;quot;alien&amp;quot; entities as [[Screaming Cell]]s and &amp;quot;[[Mukade|Devilstar]]s&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, leads to the discovery of a miraculous phenomenon: [[Daodan]] symbiosis.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;(A human host is gradually consumed/replaced by a hyper-evolved clone of itself, and somehow this improbable &amp;quot;smart cancer&amp;quot; manages to preserve the host&amp;#039;s integrity.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hyper-evolved implant is dubbed &amp;quot;Chrysalis&amp;quot; (because there is no telling what transformation/&amp;quot;alienation&amp;quot; will occur once the whole body of the host is assimilated).&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The initial mutation of a Chrysalis, and the coordination of its growth throughout the host&amp;#039;s body, may be attributable to an immaterial entity (Daodan), possibly sentient.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;In Oni canon, &amp;quot;Daodan&amp;quot; is always used either as an adjective or as shorthand for &amp;quot;Daodan Chrysalis&amp;quot; (which is fitting, since a proper substantive form would be &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;dǎo dàn guǐ&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; 捣蛋鬼). The notion of an immaterial entity supervising the symbiosis (called &amp;quot;the/a Daodan&amp;quot;, or perhaps &amp;quot;the/a &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Guǐ&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; 鬼&amp;quot;, i.e., &amp;quot;ghost&amp;quot;) is a speculative interpretation of the nondescript &amp;quot;hyper-evolutionary process&amp;quot; (i.e., the seed of the symbiosis) along with the sheer amount of intelligent coordination required by a (meta)stable integration process. Whether a man-made &amp;quot;quantum (bio)computer&amp;quot; or a sentient entity from [[Phase|another dimension]] (akin to [[Screaming Cell]]s), Daodan symbiosis seems to be driven/powered by &amp;#039;&amp;#039;some&amp;#039;&amp;#039; sort of extraordinary (unearthly?) intelligence.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hasegawa recognizes the risks and disruptive potential of Daodan tech (hence the name&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dǎo dàn guǐ&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; 捣蛋鬼 is Chinese for &amp;quot;troublemaker&amp;quot;, and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;dǎo dàn&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; 捣蛋 means &amp;quot;to stir up trouble&amp;quot;. [[Hasegawa]] may have coined the name &amp;quot;[[Daodan]]&amp;quot; in memory of his and [[Jamie]]&amp;#039;s past as &amp;quot;troublemakers&amp;quot; (activists).&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;), but the project catches the attention of Syndicate curators, who take over. &lt;br /&gt;
{{divhide|end}}&lt;br /&gt;
{|&lt;br /&gt;
!bgcolor=silver|TLDR&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
|[[Wilderness Preserve|Biological hazards]] claim the life of a [[Jamie|young eco-activist]]. The grieving husband - [[Hasegawa|a brilliant scientist]] - starts looking for the ultimate cure that would allow humans to survive in an increasingly poisonous world.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Instead he discovers a [[Daodan|eerily powerful mutagen]] that allows humans to &amp;quot;hyper-evolve&amp;quot;. The criminal [[Syndicate]] harboring the research realizes the lucrative/military potential of the project, and seizes control.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;TNZ bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; As a solution to the BioCrisis, hyper-evolution seems both cynical and overkill. But it &amp;#039;&amp;#039;might&amp;#039;&amp;#039; make sense as a means to infiltrate the Syndicate and then alienate it into a powerful world-changing tool.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;muro&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The alienation of [[Muro]] as a symbiote is replicated at the scale of the Syndicate, i.e., Muro can be seen as the Syndicate&amp;#039;s Chrysalis, priming its transformation from a conservative crime network into a monstrous super-faction obsessed with violence and bio-terror.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
{{divhide|&amp;amp;nbsp;Pre-premise|align=left|color=silver}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Hasegawa]] has two children, a [[Muro|boy]] and a [[Konoko|girl]], whom he has been using as test subjects and potential &amp;quot;symbiotes&amp;quot; - studying their [[Chrysalis]]es &amp;#039;&amp;#039;in vitro&amp;#039;&amp;#039; but not implanting them (yet?).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the [[Syndicate]] takes over the project, only Hasegawa and his son [[Muro]] are seized. [[Kerr|Hasegawa&amp;#039;s coworker]] flees with the girl ([[Mai]]) and surrenders to the [[TCTF|Tech Crime Task Force]].&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The TCTF identifies Daodan symbiosis as a serious threat, but a zealous top officer ([[Griffin]]) makes a point that Mai and her Chrysalis should be kept around as a (risky) contingency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Syndicate quickly proceeds with the implantation of Muro&amp;#039;s Chrysalis and trains him as an enforcer, while &amp;quot;[[Konoko]]&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;this child&amp;quot;, Mai&amp;#039;s new name) grows up as a ward of the state.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Muro&amp;#039;s increasing strength and charisma allow him to overthrow the Syndicate. This puts Daodan symbiosis (and the glorified violence of soldier types) at the heart of organized crime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the TCTF gets wind of the Daodan-induced alienation of the Syndicate&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;muro&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, Griffin goes ahead with the implantation and monitoring of Konoko&amp;#039;s Chrysalis (without her knowledge).  &lt;br /&gt;
{{divhide|end}}&lt;br /&gt;
{|&lt;br /&gt;
!bgcolor=silver|TLDR&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
|The [[Hasegawa|rogue scientist]] had set up his young children (a [[Muro|boy]] and a [[Konoko|girl]]) as prototypes for the [[Daodan|hyper-evolution process]]. The [[Syndicate]] (bad guys) raise the boy as a super-soldier, but he rebels and becomes the new head of crime.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The girl avoids the fate of her brother and ends up at the [[TCTF]] (good guys), as a ward of the state. Raised as a policewoman, she is unwittingly subjected to &amp;quot;hyper-evolution&amp;quot; as well - as a contingency against the bad guys.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;BGI bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; The government regards the TCTF&amp;#039;s initiative ([[Damocles]]) as too risky, and is considering another contingency - a [[BGI|paramilitary force]] that will trample down any hyper-evolved &amp;quot;symbiotes&amp;quot; at the first necessity/opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
{{divhide|&amp;amp;nbsp;Premise|align=left|color=silver}}&lt;br /&gt;
The initial altruistic idea of [[Hasegawa]]&amp;#039;s hyper-evolution project - to enable humans to survive an unavoidable environmental collapse - is perverted under [[Muro]]&amp;#039;s lead.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;ideal&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Oni does not state [[Hasegawa]]&amp;#039;s fate after the takeover, thus we don&amp;#039;t know if he personally inspired Muro&amp;#039;s radicalization, or if [[Mukade|someone else]] took his place as Muro&amp;#039;s role model.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Muro does not just work to adapt Daodan technology for mass production and &amp;quot;general availability&amp;quot; - he also makes sure that the environment &amp;#039;&amp;#039;does indeed collapse&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Muro&amp;#039;s men infiltrate Atmospheric Processors worldwide. The covered-up sabotage of the air filtering systems allows for a slow but sure escalation of the [[BioCrisis]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;According to [[Sturmanderung]] reports, toxin levels rise by &amp;gt;50% over the monitoring period (duration unspecified), mainly owing to the defective air filters. Apparently the sabotage eludes inspections through the continued efforts of Muro&amp;#039;s on-site teams and/or because of built-in &amp;quot;defeat devices&amp;quot; reminiscent of Volkswagen&amp;#039;s [[wp:Volkswagen emissions scandal|Dieselgate]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Muro seeks forms of Daodan symbiosis that are more stable and suitable for mass implantation than the prototype Chrysalises of him and his sister.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The final consoles of {{C|14}} mention the development of &amp;quot;Daodan core technology&amp;quot; as part of [[Sturmanderung]], singling out two tasks/projects/experiments called &amp;quot;uwlb&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;ssob&amp;quot;. No further details are given, but it is likely that [[Mukade]] and [[Barabas]] are &amp;quot;test beds&amp;quot; for different techniques, with Barabas as the more stable variant.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Do&amp;quot;s and &amp;quot;don&amp;#039;t&amp;quot;s are identified through new research as well as trial and error. Muro&amp;#039;s competitive army of enforcers (Strikers) provides a comfortable testing pool.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Physically strong and loyal Strikers expect to receive a Chrysalis in due time. Weaker types specialize in demolition ([[Mad bomber|suicide-bombing]], even) or [[Comguy|computer hacking]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In contrast, the [[TCTF]]&amp;#039;s approach to Daodan symbiosis is very cautionary: all the tests are performed on the only available specimen ([[Konoko]]), and without her knowledge.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Thus, despite thorough testing and monitoring protocols, Griffin&amp;#039;s science team is still &amp;quot;in the dark&amp;quot; regarding the risks of symbiosis and treats Konoko as a latent threat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even so, the TCTF&amp;#039;s growing awareness of the Strikers and their increasingly disruptive activities forces Griffin&amp;#039;s hand. Konoko undergoes field training and is deployed.  &lt;br /&gt;

At this point she is unaware of her relation to Muro, of his plans, and of her own nature as a &amp;quot;symbiote&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;BGI bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Muro is outsourcing ACC sabotage to [[BGI]], who have a conservative agenda. From then on, BGI&amp;#039;s stabilizing role is twofold: paramilitary contingency against Daodan/Striker threats, and countersabotage of the ACCs.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;TNZ bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; After Muro&amp;#039;s coup Even if the altruistic Hasegawa had no plans to use the Syndicate as a terraforming workforce, he was bound to come up with such a plot shortly after Muro&amp;#039;s coup. either in the mind of Hasegawa (if he was still around) or of someone else. &lt;br /&gt;

|On her first mission, Konoko &amp;quot;coincidentally&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Muro not only dictates the entire chain of locations of Oni&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Act 1&amp;quot;, but also anticipates [[Konoko]]&amp;#039;s involvement, even describing her as &amp;quot;an exceptional agent&amp;quot; based on some sort of intel. [[Barabas]]&amp;#039;s defeat at Konoko&amp;#039;s hands is an unpleasant surprise, but Muro turns it into an opportunity to confront Konoko and assess her skills (which leads into Act II). It is almost as if Muro&amp;#039;s whole operation was planned to coincide with Konoko&amp;#039;s field training, both geographically and chronologically.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; comes across Muro, who is personally raiding a bio-research lab as part of his [[Sturmanderung|endgame]]. In hot pursuit, Konoko fights through Muro&amp;#039;s men and pulls a number of daring stunts.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The drawn-out chase allows Muro to scan Konoko&amp;#039;s wireless communication patterns. Upon discovering that the TCTF are monitoring Konoko via an [[Shinatama|empathetic android]] housed at their HQ, he orders the android&amp;#039;s kidnapping.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;BGI bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Brief sightings of [[BGI]] operatives in Chapters [[Chapter 2|2]] through [[Chapter 5|5]]. They acknowledge that [[Konoko]] has been let out, and start gathering their strength, but do not engage.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;TNZ bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; [[Mukade]] is nowhere in sight, but [[Kojiro]] plays a key part: first when he volunteers to kill Konoko (and is held back by Muro), and then when he detects [[Shinatama]].&lt;br /&gt;

|After her &amp;quot;[[Shinatama|sister soul]]&amp;quot; is abducted fom TCTF HQ, [[Konoko]] breaks away from TCTF subordination and is perceived as an increasingly dangerous liability. The TCTF makes several attempts to terminate her, which she eludes.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Aware of her missing memories, Konoko tries to steal records about her past from secure archives. A mysterious &amp;quot;[[Mukade|super-ninja]]&amp;quot; from the Syndicate beats her to it, but Konoko chases/confronts/kills him and retrieves the data.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;BGI bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; From the moment where Konoko goes rogue, BGI&amp;#039;s hunting season is open. At the ACC they try and engage her from afar (sniping), but full frontal assault soon becomes unavoidable, starting with the Rooftops (after Mukade&amp;#039;s demise).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;TNZ bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Besides [[Kojiro]]&amp;#039;s involvement in Shinatama&amp;#039;s abduction and torture, [[Mukade]] can be shown taking part in the Syndicate raid as well (hacking [[Damocles]] for data about Konoko that [[Muro]] doesn&amp;#039;t seem interested in), then &amp;quot;stalking&amp;quot; Konoko at the [[ACC|Atmospheric Processor]] (and possibly tampering with the ACC - not clearly on Muro&amp;#039;s command or with his own agenda). The [[Regional State Building|RSB]]/Rooftops episode can present Mukade as having a perverted crush on Konoko, allowing her to tail him and enjoying their fight.&lt;br /&gt;

|After studying old records and meeting [[Kerr|her father&amp;#039;s coworker]], [[Konoko]] recollects her past and discovers her &amp;quot;hyper-evolved&amp;quot; nature. Cornered by the [[TCTF]], she nearly dies, then resurfaces to confront TCTF command.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Finally, she single-handedly attacks [[Muro]]&amp;#039;s base and unravels his evil plot. Upon discovering that the Atmospheric Processors worldwide are sabotaged, she opts to destroy them (and then proceeds to defeating Muro).&lt;br /&gt;
|} &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;BGI bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Lots of stuff to do for BGI in the final act: attack Konoko at her hideout (and/or Hasegawa&amp;#039;s lab); collect/imprison her following the acid bath (a segue into BGI HQ); last-resort attacks at TCTF HQ, then at Muro&amp;#039;s lair.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;TNZ bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; The ACCs had in fact been countersabotaged: BGI-supplied parts played along with the slow poisoning, but would not have responded to the final pulse (inversion). Konoko&amp;#039;s decision to blow ACCs up ruined it all.&lt;br /&gt;
----&lt;br /&gt;
{{divhide|&amp;amp;nbsp;Epilogue|align=left|color=silver}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;When I blew the [[ACC|processors]] I bought us some time, but at a horrible cost. The dead and the dying now line the streets but it is impossible to deny the problem any longer.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;[[Hasegawa|My father]]&amp;#039;s work may prove to be the salvation of the afflicted after all. Mankind as we knew it is doomed: the [[Chrysalis]] will change us all.

|The aftermath is somewhat similar to Muro&amp;#039;s supposed apocalypse: destroyed infrastructure, huge death toll, disrupted air filtering, and hyper-evolution as a forced solution (although it is no longer in the wrong hands).&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;BGI bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; BGI come to terms with their massive failure in containing the Daodan threat. Their factories refocus on disaster relief, and their paramilitary is repurposed to assist the TCTF in dealing with marauders and such.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;TNZ bonus:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; With Muro gone, [[Oni2:META|an alliance]] quickly forms between the corporate elements of the Syndicate and the WCG, with BGI at its core and Phase/Daodan tech as a major asset. The merge is coordinated by [[Kojiro]]&amp;amp;Co.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Driven by hyper-evolved science, the [[Oni2:META|new technocracy]] turns cities into disturbing utopian oases (actual Daodan symbiosis is used very sparingly). The surrounding wasteland is ruled by marginalized warlords of Striker fame.&lt;br /&gt;
