[Takahashi's men gave her neuromuscular blocker so she was paralyzed but felt all the pain, to further intimidate her, and to discredit her in front of Green Village. A connection to the Yakuza would make it impossible for her to continue work at the sci prison. The visible tattoos were made by sprays of color and aggressive lasers - not like the ones used for removal. It had to be done quickly before the Griffin could show up. The invisible, ''medical tattoo'' was connected to an old Syndicate ID. The body scanners at the airport would detect it and store the information inside the TCTF database. Takahashi invested some money so he would later have access to this information. Besides kicking Maria out of the Daodan program therefor destroying her remaining link to Mai, Takahashi wanted to know where the program was located. He hoped that the information is valuable enough as a reinsurance in case the Syndicate visits him in person. After the cataclysm Takahashi offers to switch sides and give Kumo the information in order to spare his life. Kumo was pro-BGI and defied Muro's ideological goals. Kumo sends a team to Green Village to retrieve Daodan Chrysalis for his own purposes. When the Yakuza realized how bad the situation was for just everyone they started in undermine the power of local Syndicate forces again. They helped out GATC to rescue Griffin from an attacked hospital.] | [Takahashi's men gave her neuromuscular blocker so she was paralyzed but felt all the pain, to further intimidate her, and to discredit her in front of Green Village.

A month had passed. Griffin and Takahashi were back at the Yakuza controlled restaurant. | |||
"Don't smash the fish again." | |||
"Don't tattoo my agents." | |||
"Ha! It would have been a fortuate incidence should her taxi been driving straight into a scrape press. There must be limits for mental delinquents even in your departments." | |||
"These are exactly the kind of talks we shouldn't do. I'm a regional commander." | |||
"Don't be mad. I followed your rules very closly. I didn't killed her and I didn't inflict unnecessary pain." | |||
With a resigned sighing Griffin burried his face. | |||
Takahashi filled a cup of sake and placed it near Griffin. | |||
"The other bosses really liked the photos - especially those of you and your helpless expression." | |||
Griffin put on a grumpy expression and drank the sake. | |||
"On the plus side this strengthened my position. Just leave me that victory, its good for all of us. - Come on. Just forget about her." | |||
Griffin took the bottle to fill another cup. "Politics are the worst." | |||
Takahashi took back the bottle. "Is this your qualified opinion as a govvy man?" | |||
"Major elections are coming up. We got information that the Syndicate tries keep major Nobu in power. He has always been an opportunist. Under his next term and influence we expect Syndicate capital to be used to take over important IT infrastructure in this area. It will increase hacking attacks, tech smuggling and reduce our detection rate in cyber crimes and our - both - security." Griffin was pointing meaningful to Takahashi and himself. | |||
"Aha. Well, elections are the times of smear campaigns. I would be very suprised if it would be any different this time." | |||
Griffin was covering his face again. "Uh, I need more sake." | |||
Takahashi laughted cordially. "Haha, sure thing." | |||
