Google hits:
:"Caged birds" 519k
:"Cage birds" 386k
Because of the high hit count I assumed the second term is also ok. So I took Cage Birds as it also sounds more normal to my German ears. We use a lot merged nouns.
But if you say I should use the other term, ok.
Actually I had Oni0:CageBirds as name space in mind to keep it consistent with other possible titles like Oni1:''Remakes'', Oni3:''FurtherSequels''. But if say 'just put everything under Oni2', also okay. --[[User:Paradox-01|paradox-01]] ([[User talk:Paradox-01|talk]]) 16:21, 4 January 2017 (CET)

We know little about Muro's and Mai's personality and habits. What kind of "humans" are they really? How does the Daodan alter them?
The non-talk page is meant for the final notes or writings.

Also, there is Ryu and Daya whose background story should also be developed at some point.

Cage Birds is supposed to answer open questions and provide the foundation of the actual sequel RS. If CB is going to be a full story, it is not the final name, just a working title, as the children don't remain kept but go to war.

Griffin: "That or a bullet."


;Mai and Kerr live in a TCTF-secured research facility (aka science prison) as he has worked for the Syndicate on dangerous technology and she has an unclear status of bio-safety.
Since her Daodan implantation she is living in a sterile room. Sci staff, and anyone else, only get near her in a full-body suit, or she wears one. Shinatama is introduced to her to prevent - as Maria puts it - mental disorders. The android is also used for edutainment and all kind of monitoring. At some points the “kids” actually have fun together which strength their relationship. For Maria the android is only a temporary solution.
One of the higher-ranked TCTFs brings his son Jack frequently to the facility. His wife works there too. Everyday they bring the kid themselves to and from school. They live in constant fear that he could be kidnapped or shot on the way. Many TCTF members are in the same situation. Maria arrange things so that Mai and Jack met.
Griffin is a close friend of that officer. One evening he gets attacked by a hitman by survives by sheer luck. One month later Griffin set an end to this. He lures the five most influential Syndicate bosses of his region into a rigged place ([http://www.japantimes.co.jp/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nb20131112a2a.jpg maybe a cargo terminal of Tokyo]) and persuades them to agree on some substantial terms.
Griffin: “The assassination of police officers and the kidnapping has come to a stop.”
“Who do you think you are?”
[... ?]
Giffin: “I am the law.”
Boss spits to the ground.
Griffin: “And if don’t want me to be judge and executioner we will make a deal tonight!”
He presses his gun onto the boss’ left side of head. His head is now on table, hands still lifted signaling Griffin not to shot.
Griffin looks through the angry round.
Actually it's a standoff with their and his armed men around. But he seems to be more deadly.
“If you can’t play along things will get ugly. You can trust me on that one.”
He snips with his fingers. A hijacked BGI mech breaks out of his container and stomps one of the limousines.
“Property can be replaced. Lives can not.”
He puts a mobile projector on the table. It throws a live stream onto the wall. Certain family members are taken hostage. The environment looks expansive. Obviously those are the homes of the Syndicate bosses. The black ops are all Blackstars personal.
This makes clear Griffin has a strong sense for family and the TCTF alike.
From that day on Griffin lives at the HQ. He probably is now the most wanted man in his region.
He got divorced and leaves his ex-wife in the believe he is just obsessed with his work – which is also true. Unwillingly he has become a symbol for the now cold war between Syndicate and TCTF.
It takes some years before Konoko is consider fully noncontagious. The screening of Muro’s visited places helped her out too. After that she can receive regular training at TCTF locations. Like Kerr she’s also escorted most of the time but without the need of wearing a helmet anymore. In fact she enjoys driving her motorcycle without a helmet to feel the wind in her face that she had to miss for so many years.
