During Hardy LeBel's creation of the final story, this transitioned to the concept of [[SLD]] technology, where Shinatama is 100% artificial and her cybernetic brain is trained using a human model (Konoko). | During Hardy LeBel's creation of the final story, this transitioned to the concept of [[SLD]] technology, where Shinatama is 100% artificial and her cybernetic brain is trained using a human model (Konoko). | ||

A massive group of [[Strikers]], [[Mad | A massive group of [[Strikers]], [[Mad Bomber]]s, and [[Furies]] led by Barabas assaulted the TCTF headquarters with astonishing speed and precision. Barabas himself managed to reach Shinatama, ripping her out of her alcove in [[Damocles|the main computer]]. Konoko rushed to save her, only to see her taken away by helicopter. | ||
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 SLD was taken to a nearby [[Atmospheric Conversion Center]] by Muro, who connected her to an electric generator in order to torture 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 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. | Griffin had known from the beginning there was a high possibility the Konoko would spiral out of control, and had planned accordingly.

Owldreamer's original character [[Oni2:Hikari|Hikari]] is an Oni 2 concept for Shinatama. Now an electronic ghost who has created an android avatar of herself, Hikari can be seen as the disembodied, seen-it-all Shinatama's ''anchor'' to humanity and to [[Konoko|Mai]]. Hikari's own inner universe is yet another field of investigation, but she's already a powerful character through what she means to Shinatama: without an anchor such as the neural link to Mai, or an avatar such as Hikari, Shinatama is the Disembodied Soul described above. | Owldreamer's original character [[Oni2:Hikari|Hikari]] is an Oni 2 concept for Shinatama.
