	The SLD was taken to a nearby [[Atmospheric Conversion Center]] by Muro, who connected her to an electric generator in order to torture her. He amusedly commented that she wasn't programmed with a limit to the pain she could feel. Having gotten whatever information he wanted or having lost interest in her, Muro left Shinatama in a highly damaged state. Konoko, who had come to rescue what she considered her only friend, was unable to move her without further damaging her.

	The word "shinatama" refers to [[wp:Karakuri puppet\|a type of puppet]] from Edo-era Japan that performed tricks, for example making a ball disappear. The word is intended to convey juggling, sleight-of-hand, or concealment. As Shinatama is a "doll" that must "juggle" a large amount of data while interfaced with [[Damocles]] and Konoko, the name seems appropriate in-universe. ~~Considering the way that the story plays out~~, it could be just as fitting ~~out-of-universe~~ to see her name as representing concealment….

	Initially, Shinatama acted as the ~~informant~~ to Konoko via ~~their~~ neural link. ~~At this time, her personality was similar~~ to ~~a bright and happy child~~, ~~and she considered herself a sister to the up-and-coming [[TCTF]] agent.

Initially, Shinatama acted as the TCTF's handler to their field agent Konoko via a neural link. Unbeknownst to Konoko, Shinatama was also assigned the task of monitoring the state of her [[Daodan Chrysalis]]. It was later discovered that she had been downplaying the advancement of the Chrysalis in her reports to the TCTF in order to protect Konoko.

	Shinatama ~~also~~ alluded to the Chrysalis indirectly by ~~informing~~ Konoko that [[hyposprays]] ~~might~~ affect her differently ~~then~~ other people~~. This~~, ~~along with~~ her ~~warning~~ the ~~young agent about [[Comguy]]s and the [[Deadly Brain]] clearly indicated~~ their relationship was more ~~then military professionalism~~. Her youthful personality was ~~also~~ demonstrated by her panicking when the Deadly Brain flooded the ~~network~~ with ~~self-portraits~~.		Shinatama alluded to the Chrysalis indirectly by telling Konoko that [[hyposprays]] would affect her differently than other people, informing her of the overpower effect. She then asked Konoko not to tell Griffin that she had shared this information, indicating their relationship to Konoko was more than a professional one. Her youthful personality was demonstrated by her panicking when the [[Deadly Brain]] flooded the Public News Net with images of itself.

	Soon after the incident with the Deadly Brain, [[Muro]]~~, [[Barabas]] and~~ a ~~team~~ of ~~[[Strikers]] and [[Bomber]]s raided~~ [[Vago Biotech]] ~~for~~ "gene surgery equipment."

Soon after the incident with the Deadly Brain, [[Muro]] led a Syndicate raid of [[Vago Biotech]] to obtain "experimental gene surgery equipment", with [[Barabas]] guarding the entrance. Shinatama continued her role as advisor to Konoko, but of particular interest was the fact that the SLD manufacturing process was completely explained in the lab's data consoles. Muro and his crew escaped with the equipment, Konoko hot on their trail.

	At the chase ~~took~~ Konoko to the airport, Shinatama reported, horrified, that [[Muro]] and his troops were killing ~~off~~ civilians at an alarming rate. Konoko managed to follow Muro and plant a homing device on his escape plane. Muro, however, was informed that she was neural-linked to an SLD, prompting him to conduct an immediate assault on the TCTF headquarters...

	The SLD was taken to a nearby [[~~ACC~~]] by Muro, who ~~plugged~~ her ~~into the~~ generator~~, running thousands of volts through~~ her ~~body~~. He amusedly commented that ~~her~~ pain ~~threshold was nonexistent~~. Having ~~obtained the~~ information ~~from~~ her, Muro left ~~her~~ in a highly damaged state.

Having gotten whatever information he wanted or having lost interest in her, Muro left Shinatama in a highly damaged state. Konoko, who had come to rescue what she considered her only friend, was unable to move her without further damaging her.

	Shinatama attempted to inform her about the Chrysalis and its impact, but only managed to pass on Konoko's real name, Mai Hasegawa, and the fact that there was something inside of her, before she received a self-destruct signal from ~~[[Griffin]]~~. She ~~attempted~~ to slow it down, allowing Konoko a chance to escape~~, but~~ the explosion ~~was unavoidable~~. She was presumed dead~~. But~~ Griffin ~~had~~ other plans.		Shinatama attempted to inform her about the Chrysalis and its impact, but only managed to pass on Konoko's real name, Mai Hasegawa, and the fact that there was something inside of her called a Chrysalis, before she received a self-destruct signal from TCTF command. She was able to slow it down, allowing Konoko a chance to escape before the explosion of her Xiox mechanism. She was presumed dead, but Griffin would have other plans for her.

	Griffin had known from the beginning there was a high possibility the Konoko would spiral out of control, and had planned accordingly. He had designed the [[Omega ~~Bunker~~]] complete with a Deadly Brain frame, and retrieved the ~~shambled~~ remains of Shinatama from the explosion site.

Griffin had known from the beginning there was a high possibility the Konoko would spiral out of control, and had planned accordingly. He had designed the [[Omega Vault]] bunker complete with a Deadly Brain frame, and retrieved the damaged remains of Shinatama from the explosion site. He had her wired into the frame, giving her access to the bunker's defenses and using her familiarity with Konoko as a critical advantage.

	When Konoko confronted Griffin, he retreated ~~into~~ the bunker, forcing her not only to combat TCTF agents, but her friend as well. Shinatama, aware that she was ~~helping~~ to kill the person she viewed as a sister, begged for death ~~all the~~ while~~. Eventually,~~ Konoko ~~managed~~ to ~~shut down all~~ the ~~defense mechanisms~~, ~~and~~ Shinatama broke free of the frame, walking toward Griffin ~~with all~~ the ~~speed~~ her skeletal body could ~~muster~~.		When Konoko confronted Griffin, he retreated to the bunker, forcing her not only to combat TCTF agents to reach him, but to destroy her friend as well in order to deactivate the Omega Vault's defense measures. Shinatama, aware that she was being forced to kill the person she viewed as a sister, begged for death while Konoko worked to sabotage the Deadly Brain frame through connected consoles. Once this was accomplished, Shinatama broke free of the frame, walking toward Griffin slowly (the best that her skeletal body could manage). Griffin shot her.

			[[Shinatama Evolved]] is a custom character concept developed by [[User:Samer\|Samer]]. The idea is Shinatama got rebuilt or resurrected into a more combat-capable body, perhaps as a way for Griffin to redeem himself after Konoko spared his life in the bunker.
