Spoiler warning: a few sections go already beyond RS.
How did the kids grow up and became the persons they are? What's the live like inside TCTF and Syndicate?
 
===Random Notes===
Jamie. Master of Science in Biology, The University of Tokyo, Japan.
 
Bevor Hasegawa joined, Jamie and Jareth’s Mentor (embedded TCTF reporter, now retired) were searching for the radiotrophic Mycorrizha.
 
Als Jamie’s lebloser Körper dalag landete für einen Moment ein blauer Schmetterling auf ihr. Als ob er ihre Seele mitnehmen wolle.
 
Hasegawa beugte sich über die Probe. Es war alles was ihm von Jamie geblieben war. In der Eile in der er sich vor der TCTF verstecken musste, konnte er nichts aus ihrer Wohnung mitnehmen. Muro und Mai waren in Sicherheit bei Kerr’s Schwester. Sie und ihr Mann waren gute Freunde der Familie. Für die Nachtbaren waren es nur adoptierte Kinde. Ihre [https://phys.org/news/2015-08-death-online.html Fake-Identitäten] wurden vom Syndicate erstellt.
 
Hasegawa hatte sich niemals vorstellen können, Hilfe von echten Syndicate-Hackern zu bekommen. Bis dahin waren ihre Faähigkeiten nur ein urbaner Mythos, der aus Spaß erzählt wurde. Kerr überzeugte sie, dass es das Beste für die Kinder war, und natürlich, dass Hasegawa unschuldig war.
 
 
Hasegawa saß vor dem Mikroskop. Auf dem Bildschirm war ein Abbild von dem was er durch das Instrument sah. „Metagenom-Analyse … 85 %“ „Metagenom-Analyse abgebrochen. Unzureichende Daten.“ Von ihrer Normalflora ist so gut wie nichts übrig. Und viele ihre eigenen Zellen sind stärker geschädigt als sie sollten. Als ob irgendetwas versucht hat, die Zellen aufzubrechen und auszuweiden. Sein Blick schweifte über den internen CDC Bericht. „Ebola kann es nicht gewesen sein.“
 
 
Kerr besteht darauf Mai besuchen zu dürfen. Er redet mit den Wissenschaftlern. Die sympatisieren mit ihm und schreiben in ihren Bericht, dass Kerr’s Expertise vor Ort benötigt wird.
Um Scanwerte nicht zu verfälschen, darf Mai nicht nervös sein. Sie muss sich sicherfühlen und Kerr Anwesenheit ist da auch hilfreich.
 
Muro vs Ryu: Ryu was stronger than Muro.
 
Daya wird Teamleader weil sie keine Spezialisierung hat. Sie kann sich nichts auf ihre Fähigkeiten einbinden. Die anderen hassen Daya, weil sie keine von „ihnen“ ist, nur Durchschnitt, und sie nun führt. Daya muss sich ihren Respekt verdienen. Einen jedoch muss sie aus dem Team verstoßen.
 
Kumo zu Vendret: „Solange wie du für das Kind [Daya] verantwortlich bist, solange bist auch du dem Syndicate verpflichtet.“ (öffentlich Ansprache)
 
Psychologin versucht Griffin zu überzeugen, dass Mai als kein "Projekt" ist. Der sieht das etwas anders.
 
Psychologin: „Muro und Mai – Bruder und Schwester – werden trainiert sich gegenseitig umzubringen. In was für einer Welt leben wir?“
 
Die regulären Cops glauben Mai und Kerr seien in einem Zeugenschutzprogramm.
Jack verliebt sich in Mai. „Sie ist anders als die andern. Und sie ist echt stark.“
 
Shinatama. Körperfunktionen an Mai gekoppelt. TCTF glaubt objektive Analysen zu erhalten, da SLDs als Computer ähnlich angesehen werden.
 
„Konoko. Im Ernstfall musst du ganz alleine klarkommen. “ (Konoko jagt die ACCs hoch weil sie darauf konditioniert ist im Notfall alleine zu handeln. Andere TCTF-Agenten vor wären für das Syndikat „kein Problem“ und daher wahrscheinlich tot.)
 
Warum hat Kerr verheimlicht, dass Muro noch am Leben ist. (Die Information hätte nur noch mehr Probleme verursacht.) Mai schien dies vergessen zu haben obwohl sie alt genug gewesen sein müsste sich dran zu erinnern.

===A winged lion falls===
[Saomi takes revenge for her killed friends. Griffin's anti-Daodan taskforce committed a massacre in their hideout years ago. In the end it was burning down. The taskforce manipulated the fire extinguishing system so that the skyscraper burnt completely and collapsed. She and Muro were the only survivors.]
TCTF hospital. Night time, 23:55.
Grim faces look aroud the corners, hand signs are quickly given.
A moment later drones falls from the sky. Cameras sink their dead heads.
The district darkens in a blackout.
Armed crowds of men flow into the entrances areas.
An heavily armored black van has stopped by and opened its doors.
Saomi and two more red furies has arrived and it seems they brought every thug of the city with them.
Whoever unlucky fellow is inside the building. He won't it make out alive this night.
The crowd is just standing, waiting for the final command.
Saomi shouts. "You have all seen his face. Get me his man and the TCTF will be no more."
The hospital emergency generators get online and light shines again inside.
A swarm of heavy weapon bullets storms through windows and doors. The first clip of everyone has been emptied.
The last shell's echo dies on the road - a moment of silence.
Rifle get reloaded and Saomi speaks up one last time. It's not much but all that it needs to tear down that building.
"Now."
Black streams flow into the build.
Searching.
Killing.
The furies on the other hand already know Griffin location. They know the number of gurds. They know their tracking signals.
Traton made sure for that.
Saomi is walking straight into his room.
When they shoot the last guard, she talks the man that is tied to bed by medial equipment and his own physical weakness.
The two furies place herselves next to the door. Saomi checks the time.
Griffin watches them. And they watch him.
The door opens and a thugs hands over two jerricans.
Saomi spreads the content of the first one all over the room. The furies helmet camera records everything.
One jerrican is left. She walks towards Griffins bed and pours it all other him. When she douse it over his head, he begins to fight back. She flinches back for a moment just to ram the metal vessel into his belly. She presses her arm into his throat and empty the rest over his head.
She heads back to the door as Griffin is skewing and gasping for air. He falls off and takes the cables and tubes and machines with him. He spits by the disguisting taste.
Saomi: "They say everybody has to atone for their sins."
As Saomi disappears in the night you can see Griffin's room burning. "Send the material to Traton. - Proteus will spread in all regions untel the WCG is now more."
----
Ryu is pissed by this sudden turn of events. He is no friend of TCTF or WCG either but the blind raging could end their lives as well. He and Zeref plan to take in Saomi when she returns to the HQ. "We need to get rid of those radical elements."
===When a new light shines, a shadow dies===
When Kimura and Sakura visits Tokyo, he gets recognized by some old Yakuza. He sits down, the men behind him keep standing.
"You should have stayed in the states."
"Does it help when I say I'm retired?"
"Miss. Would you please go and wash your hands."
Saomi nods slowly.
"I cannot let you go. Your very existance has become dishonor to all of us. And this unholy alliance with the Syndicate and Gov, we reject it."
Kimura tries to clean his hands. But they remain dirty. "What about my wife?"
The boss gives Kimura another napkin.
"Just you."
"Ok. -- I'm ready."
They take the exit to the backstreet.
One Yakuza has followed Saomi and places himself in front of the door. She looks at him irritated. The gun hand is covered by the other, waiting.
The two hear a single gun shot from the outside. They wait some time for certaincy. The Yakuza holters his gun in the suit and leaves Saomi without a word.
When she exits through the main entrance, the red sun light is blinding her. But in the flares there's a figure. She gets closer and recognizes a familiar face.
Mukade exits the restaurant with Saomi. "Let's begin a new life."

Yorick: “All the mighty beings fall by their own hybris. God thanks I’m stupid… Ha!”
[...]
The first shot failed. Memehunter hadn’t a heart so the injury wasn’t live threatening. The wound healed immediately.
Yorick was growing parabolic graphene structures. Memehunter watched it with little interest. “Looks like he’s preparing a massive particle blast. If his ship’s BEC storage is filled with antimatter he could produce some high-energy plasma. Still, it’s a joke. My defense is powered by this planet behind me.”
Memehunter: “I know what you are trying. Be warned I can dive through stars.”
Yorick: “Hmpf, very well. This only means you will be able to feel all the pain that you caused on these ten thousand worlds. -- Get ready for some hyperthermia.”
With all the energy transferring entangled particles he started to glow.
“Oh, will he blow himself up?”
To make full use of the particles Yorick was uncompressing the BEC. He generated new nucleus by pulling quarks apart. Electrons and positrons were generated from Breit-Wheeler process. This allowed him to grow and increase his body mass not violating any physical law. These myriads of quantum links to the stars were simply invaluable.
Memehunter was prepared. He thought he was. Now he stood in shock and awe.
Yorick has grown huge, matching a skyscraper. “No more backup to sleep in. No more fake decoherence to flee in. And certainly no more hostages to use as a shield.”
[...]
Yorick released the plasma blast. The energy of thousand stars was heading for Memehunter.The plasma and gamma rays burned Memehunter and his planet to mere ashes. The evil ghost of the Biocratic Society had been banned.
Yorick paid the price of going all out. His body was ruined by the high energy output. His right arm has completely missing. His interior and exterior was burned.He was drifting through the cold, dark space, no longer able of selfhealing. He felt asleep. He was just like a chunk of slightly glowing magma reaching the surface crystalizing, becoming a black stone. Eventually no more signs of live to be seen.
The secret still within, the Exiled remained in danger. If Yorick's corpse couldn't be retrieved, they would be their target. Just like Yorick tracked down Memehunters full identity, they would chase them and put the puzzle pieces together.

===Bonus chapter: Soul fusion===
(Part I – One after millions)
After millions of iterations there was finally a match. (Describe briefly the navigation map: supercluster, cluster, local group, Milky Way, and solar system.)
[…]
The ship was coming back to life.
The guardian himself was only half awake but to no point on this long journey he has slept. “How do the humans say?” After all time that has passed even he hardly remembered the expression. He was a hyper-AI but memories were stuffed with Nishio’s brain copies, all possible databases and the myriads of experiences he had made over the aeons. “Ah.” He was grinning. “How could I forget? – It’s the right place and it’s the right time. – Well, sorta.”
Black void. Ha! As if that would be anything new in the life of nihilist. But then in little flashes it was all back. The sensory inputs. His senses. The reanimation process drove electric waves through his body and the will to life took over again. A strong breath. Another one. Nishio was wrestling for air. “Oh my god, what is this? – What the hell is happening?”
“Don’t worry.” The guardian was checking him. “You are doing well. You just need to get used to it again.”
Nishio was pressing the hand against his chest. The heart. A heart! It was beating. He had a biological body. After ages. “Why? What’s the purpose of this?” “Don’t make such a shocking face. – Calm down. – I have to show you something.” Nishio stood there against a wall, the black sand was still falling off. His previous bodies were technological so much more advanced and now he was a mere human. He was afraid as if he could die again any moment.
He straightened his stand, one hand still that wall. “What? – What is it?”
“Earth. The year is 2056.”
PART II – Soul fusions
[...]
Green Village.
They were once again in that consuming fire storm, literally melting. The bioc under their shoes began to boil too. Heavy smoke spread over the battle field and grew dense. The energy cells of Nishio's modified graphene shield exploded under the heat and pushed a discharge through the highly conducting-made gases. Light. Everywhere. It took massive amounts of energy out of this mess. In a shock reaction the materials turned into a blue-colored [[wp:Aerogel|aerogel]] imprisoning all combatants. Except for the core. A felt eternity - just a minute for the outside world - after changing the aggregate phase Mukade, Daya and Nishio managed to break free. Their bioc aerogel had a more glass-like strength, giving in to their combined force. Daya: "It's over Mukade, I have it under control now. The bioc will do no more harm."

Möbius [Guardian] sieht wie ein Schmetterlingskokon sich auf Jamie’s Grabstein öffnet. Als der Schmetterling zu fliegen beginnt, setzt er sich für einen Moment auf Guardians ausgestreckten Finger. „Das hast du gut gemacht. Danke mein kleiner Freund.“ Der Schmetterling fliegt davon. Friedhofswärter sieht ungläubig wie Jamie samt Sachen aus dem Grab steigt. „Wie viele wollen sie noch auferstehen lassen?“ „Wieso fragst du?“ „Naja wenn das so weitergeht machen Sie mich arbeitslos.“ „Nur noch ein paar.“ „Wie entscheiden Sie wer leben darf und wer nicht? Ich hätte da nämlich auch noch ein paar Vorschläge...“
===Epilog===
After finding this perfect reincarnated universe, the guardian knew he would had to put the journey to an end. It would take awful a lot of time but eventually history will repeat over and over. As a consequence time capsules of Nishio or other people would accumulate until they prevented the universe from getting reborn properly since they hold back to much energy for the necessary life-supporting physically constants. The guardian wasn't really afraid of that scenario, he was an artificial being after all. But he was programmed to protect Nishio. Nishio's own instinct of survival, that he never managed to give up, would have eventually killed him. The guardian couldn't let his creator get stranded in that thermodynamical wasteland and getting stuck between Big Rip and Big Bang.
===Comment===
Originally my intention was to let Nishio travel eternally with no chance finding true soul peace. But after millions of iterations, things should start to repeat somewhat. In a physical finite universe possibilities are limited. Astronomical huge, yes. But still, limited. Given enough time there should emerge universes that look similar to former ones. So in the end, this was just logical.
I feel somewhat relieved now that I know how to end this whole cycle. Sure, there's still a lot of work to do. But the pressure is partially gone.
For those who wonder why I mix Big Rip and Big Bang together. In this fiction the universe has a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbruPR3o0Zc 4-dimensional donut shape] where as matter is accelerated when being sucked in (Big Rip) and ejected (Big Bang). We are just lucky for living between those two extreme phases. Imo, such an shape can really make sense, especially if think about a few basic physical laws.
This is a text block that I came up with 4 years ago but I couldn't image using it for Oni since it looked totally unrelated. That has changed with the other sequals after Mind Seal.
:The ultimate question: how came our universe into existence?
:"Ex nihilo nihil fit." It means "from nothing comes nothing." In science this thought is manifested in the "law of conservation of mass" and in the "law of conservation of energy" and they turn out to be true day by day. Matter can be converted into other forms of matter and energy, and energy can be converted into other forms of energy or matter, but during these conversions no piece of matter or energy ever fades to nothing.
:So, it wasn't "creatio ex nihilo" - creation out of nothing. But still, we exist, ergo: our universe always existed. It's a closed system after all.
Well, even if this explains how the universe is functioning, it doesn't explain why. :D
