First there was a renegade assassin ([[Mukade]]). He was a first-grade fighter and hacker, one of the best. He had access to [[AVATARA]] and was tied to [[BGI]]. | |||
As an idealist, he was disappointed with the turn taken by the "struggle" between the WCG and Syndicate (primarily the completely frozen social model and the never-ending ecological crisis). | |||
He started by distancing himself both from the WCG and the Syndicate, prepared to deal with the consequences of this move (like fighting off fellow assassins that would be sent after him). | |||
Rather than becoming a hermit, it is possible that he already envisioned founding a [[wikipedia:Fight Club|Fight Club]] in the wasteland (a concept that can be developed either in Oni 2 ''or in an epilogue - originally it appeared in Wasteland Flowers as Guido's idea''). | |||
The exact genesis of the [[Daodan]] project is unclear, just as the "true" circumstances of how [[Jamie]] Hasegawa died (i.e., the nature of the infection from the scratch - if Hasegawa's record is genuine - or whatever else may have happened to her). But, fundamentally, it was about [[Hasegawa]] meeting (and teaming up with) Mukade. | |||
Hasegawa | Hasegawa absolutely wanted to do something about the toxic "dead end" in which the world was headed at the time (and his determination was even more firm since the loss of Jamie). | ||
Mukade | Mukade shared these ideals but, having been part of the system, had a much more complete picture of it, with technical details and practical knowledge that Hasegawa lacked. | ||
Conversely, Hasegawa (a biology expert) had the means, wits and motivation to create/develop the extraordinary entity that could shake every balance there was: the Daodan. | |||
This is the time when Mukade provided Hasegawa with more or less specific "tips" for infiltrating/contaminating/alienating the Syndicate via the Daodan project and make it (the Syndicate) into a tool powerful enough to drive an even bigger change. It is also possible that the discovery of the Daodan entity (which triggers and oversees the "hyper-evolution" human cells) was partly due to Mukade himself (he has knowledge of more or less secret research projects - like the Screamers - and may have had "expert access" to transdimensional portals - that's assuming that the Daodan indeed originates from the "Phase"). | |||
The basic idea, for Hasegawa, was to work on the Chrysalis right under the Syndicate's nose until they take the bait of the "Universal Soldier" and take over the project. Next, plan A is that [[Muro]] (and/or [[Mai]]), a human weapon prototype, ends up escaping the Council's control and achieves a coup inside the Syndicate (an otherwise improbable feat). | |||
Plan B is that Hasegawa would have subjected himself to the Daodan protocol, too, even before experimenting on his children, unbeknownst to his colleague and stepbrother [[Kerr]]: only Mukade knows. | |||
To increase his chances as the new Syndicate's mastermind, Hasegawa also subjected himself to Mukade's "engrams". Normally only a blank brain can receive someone else's personality (this is how it happens for [[SLD]]s), but the advanced integration of Hasegawa's Chrysalis allowed his neurons to adapt to this second self. The drawback is the inevitable schizophrenia and the partial "loss of self", apart pro being eaten up by the Chrysalis as a regula symbiote. The advantage is that Hasegawa inherited Mukade's wisdom, his fighting techniques, his hacking skills, and his deep knowledge of the whole Syndicate/WCG/BGi system, which is essential if one wants to manipulate the system from the inside. | |||

C'est le plan A qui a fonctionné. Muro a été élevé en tant qu'arme humaine, et ce n'est que trop tard que le Syndicat a compris qu'il ne pourrait jamais le contrôler. | C'est le plan A qui a fonctionné.
