== | ==BGi against Hasegawa and Muro== | ||
In reality, the only stronghold left from the old-school Network/Syndicate, at the time of Oni's events, is the [[BGI|BGi]] conglomerate along with its child companies ([[Musashi]] etc). | |||
BGi, like the [[WCG]], does not welcome the loss of balance brought about by Muro and his Strikers, and is planning to oppose/disrupt the STURMANDERUNG project at the best opportunity... | |||
And then there is Hasegawa. With his scientific genius, the Daodan enhancement, Mukade's engrams and the neo-technocrats gathering around him, he has been providing the Strikers with unprecedented autonomy, i.e. he is capable of making BGI redundant in the logistics-and-infrastructure department. Therefore BGi hates both Muro the megalomaniac and Hasegawa the prodigy. | |||
Muro | Muro controls the Strikers mainly through a constant reshuffling of the hierarchy throughout the network. | ||
:(This is how terrorist networks work in the modern world, whether there is a leader or not; Fight Club, too.) | |||
( | When needed, Ninja can be used as a last resort to enforce the internal order (by intimidating or eliminating rogue elements). The Ninja are an army of androids (half-robots, half-SLDs - basically like cyborgs, but with artificially grown brains) imprinted with the "engrams" of Mukade/Hasegawa and sharing a collective consciousness. The also behave as antennas used for surveillance, thereby increasing Mukade/Hasegawa's awareness to practically omniscient/ubiquitous levels. | ||
Apart from the Ninja (as mentioned previously), Hasegawa(Mukade) surrounds himself with "neo-technocrats": a few expert hackers and killers who have earned their rank by tracking down the "old Syndicate" and are now candidates for Daodan implantation. | |||
In addition to the Daodan project, Hasegawa/Mukade&Co may be developing some advanced technology (WMC cannon - possibly -, Mukade's gadgets). | |||
All this - the emergent technocracy and the Ninja army - puts BGi in a precarious situation, without any guarantee of stability. | |||
:(and of course there is Muro's megalomania and STURMANDERUNG, which goes against common sense and would mean the triumph of anarchy) | |||
( | Faced with this situation, BGi reluctantly makes a pact with the WCG, and receives "carte blanche" to contain the threat represented both by human hyperevolution (Daodan) and by the impending bio-terrorist ultimatum (STURMANDERUNG). In this context, BGi secretly develops heavy weapons, cyborgs and robots that are more than a match for Strikers, and an [[Iron Demon]] that is capable - at least in theory - of kicking Mutant Muro's ass. | ||

La "Nouvelle Donne" de Muro (radicalisation mégalomane du Syndicat) fait partie du changement prévu par le plan de Hasegawa et Mukade. C'est un sacrifice nécessaire. | La "Nouvelle Donne" de Muro (radicalisation mégalomane du Syndicat) fait partie du changement prévu par le plan de Hasegawa et Mukade. C'est un sacrifice nécessaire. |
