How is Jamie's and Hasegawa's daily life?




;After Jamie's death
==Hanna CDC==
 
At court Hasegawa tries to explain wearing a pistole by the threat of wild animals that could carry diseases.
 
...
 
Her corpse is examined in CDC's biosafety level 5 lab. It's the first time the BSL-5 was used.
 
Instead of tubes and cables, the suits were running with energy and O2 capsules. Near the entry was smaller opening to receive new capsules.
 
The exchange happens during the exposure of cold plasma killing possible pathogens.
 
When they unzipped the body bag, they stood in a moment of shock and horror.
 
Jamie has demineralized bones (they break easily now), liquefied organs, melted skin.
 
The eyes were missing as well. Her mouth was wide open.
 
She appeared to scream silently.
 
"From now on we will triple-check our suits before we enter this room."
 
"When we know how to deal with it send a sample to BSL-4 in Marburg."
 
:"We also have two dead rangers. How did the husband survive?"
 
"Maybe only direct contact with blood is contagious. He said he had his gloves on when he applied the hypos. After the head shot he has kept distance. - The ranger rummaged the backpack. It was stained with blood. Probably it happened when she looked for dressing material."
 
:Hanna: "Enough talk. Laser, TH and CT scan were all done in our absence by the automatic. Time to look what's really inside. I going to open her with a T cut."
 
"No. Wait!"
 
The decomposing body has built up gases. Sprays of liquids splashed over the crew's suits. An alarm went off. Hanna dropped backwards.

The Syndicate has contacted Kerr in the past and asked him to work for them but Kerr refused. He still remembers his contact and offers his and Hasegawa's knowledge of course under the condition that they get the professor out of jail.

CDC
 
Jeff: "This time we will use the exosuits. Every movement will be transferred to our robot avatars. Are you familiar with the procedure."
 
Curtis: "Yes." -- "How is Hanna doing?"
 
Jeff entered the exosuit and pulled down the visor. Metal fixations snapped. "Still in quarantine. She was brought her stuff. There's definitive an infection."
 
Curtis: "How is that possible? The interior of her suit showed no damage."
 
Hanna's quarantine room was in a white gray. It almost looked like one of TCTF's maximum security prison cells. Hanna sat in the corner on her bed, the back leaning against the wall. The legs drawn to the chest. She hold a pen-shaped device in left hand. A beam of blue light flowed of the other hand. It looked all red and dry, interrupted by yellow patches. (+ red, glassy eyes ...)
 
 
Final analysis: It was stress-enhanced MRSA outbreak. The infection probably had spread while Hanna was visiting her terminally ill mother in the Russell Medical, Alabama.

===Standoff===
==Standoff add. notes==
The investigation of Jamie's case didn't delivered useful results. Hasegawa and prosecution agree on a deal. They drop his charges of wearing an unregistered handgun, killing Jamie and entering the Wilderness Preserve Sector (WPS). In return Hasegawa doesn't talk about the poisonous WPS with anyone, cuts all connections to the group of activists and resigns his job at university. He tells his colleagues that he needs time to grieve.
At court Hasegawa tries to explain wearing a pistol by the threat of wild animals that could carry diseases.


[Skipping his doctor title.] "Mr. Hasegawa, don't you think your demand of dropping all charges is highly exaggerated?"


Hasegawa: "No. Not at all. It seems you want to sweep everything under the table. The CDC is a capable institution. No results mean something hold them off. I'm burning to know what's the reason for this and of course what killed Jamie. I'm sure others want to know it too. She was eaten alive by the infection. It's unlikely the CDC found no traces. If we really want to do that farce, no problem. The eco activists will be happy to place it into the right light for you."

"... Is this some kind of blackmailing?"
Scrapped phone talk for an actual appointment.
 
"How that? I thought you are in the right. It's not me blackmailing you. It's the other way 'round. The WP sectors should be free to access but by cloaking them with the Wilderness Perserve Act you cut a common right and turn it into a juristic weapon against oppositionists and any independent scientist who wants to take the probes with his own hands. [[Quotes/Consoles#Wilderness_Preserves|You don't even allow fly-overs of these areas...]] You are the ones that are blackmailing us. Actually I don't care which way you want to go. However, it would serve both parties to not waste time on this farce."
 
One of the men bent over to whisper the other into the ear.
 
After a moment of thinking, he replied aloud. "Right now the courts are overloaded. It might be indeed possible to shorten this issue. We will call you next Monday about the details. Until then we insist that you don't leave the town."

Hasegawa asked Mukade for a sample. The Shinobi stole it from the lab in Marburg. It turned out that the sample was too much degraded.

Line 251: Line 180:
The last remaining man of Z482 met Griffin to ask for new directives and help. Griffin didn't want the operation to be traced back and kills the man. This left Griffin angry about his own forced action and Blackstar's incompetence, they had waited far too long. It appears the Muro is out of reach. In his bad mood, Griffin continued the crusade on criminals in Neo-Tokio. Temporary he even allied with other criminals to replace the ones in power. That was to cut off corrupt politicians from receiving Syndicate money.

Beside that Konoko appears relative normal. She would have to deal with the real world one day so she must had have some regular education too. The sci staff around Kerr was possibly extended with an child psychologist, Maria. That woman and Kerr tried their best to protect Mai from Griffin.

===Griffin===
==Griffin==
Since the deal with the underground bosses he seems to reacts more edgy than before. This behavior is actually a cover-up for the tension he permanently feels. As a regional TCTF commander he doesn't allow himself to show any sign of weakness. But he is watched day and night. Griffin imagines to know the exact reason. They just wait for the right moment to assassinate him. Ironically the opposite is the case. The special group is meant to keep him alive as the bosses fear that Griffin's death will trigger kill orders on their families. They got information that Griffin has ties to the shady GATC Blackstars. This leads to funny situations where they help him out against other rogue elements.

===Shinatama===
==Shinatama==
She felt everything Mai felt. By measuring nerve activities and the level of stress hormones pain gets (more) objective. But why did Shinatama had to actually feel it? Maybe it deepens the emotional bond but the goal probably was to mirror the pain, translating the numbers so that the other operators had a more clear ''perception'' in what condition Mai is. Making someone "feel" is not subjective here as that someone is an android. To the TCTF, it was simulated pain, not "real". Their mistake was to not know that the simulation is perfect, so that pain like all other inputs leaves traces within a system, it not just learns by these influences, it gets shaped, it gets defined.

Did Maria influenced Shinatama to become more emphatic? Maria wouldn't stay forever but Shinatama would.

Ryu received gen therapies to have the same blood type and immune factors like Muro. In case of an emergency Ryu would become an organ donor. Muro, was too important for Kimura as the boy had the only remaining Daodan prototype. Ryu had to spend more than 10 months in isolation while taking immunosuppressants.

GATC fired a nuclear missile to destroy the fusion reactor. They hope the Syndicate [Kumo's team] would get scared off by the nuclear fallout and won't further try to get GV's Daodans. The WCG doesn't believe that the fusion reactor explored by itself. They don't know GATC is in the area so they assume the Syndicate blew it up so that Muro is the only one with Daodans.
