**First, by taking Shinatama away, Muro disrupts Griffin's Daodan project. Of course Muro has no direct control over Konoko's insubordination, Shinatama's death, Konoko's rogue status, etc.; he is merely an agent of chaos (cf. the Joker in the Dark Knight). With Shinatama gone, the tension will inevitably rise, until Konoko realizes that Griffin has been using her as a weapon against Muro. | **First, by taking Shinatama away, Muro disrupts Griffin's Daodan project.

**As for Konoko's direct reaction to Shinatama's loss, Muro is curious to see it, whatever it is: he is not interested in his sister's stability, so he welcomes anger as a possibility (cf.

One suggestion at that link is that torture of a droid which can register pain, and which has self-preservation programming, may be an attempt to uncover information about the android, such as which priorities are lower than self-preservation. Though the sensitive information that Shinatama knows is undoubtedly higher-priority than her self-preservation directive, so interrogation for data on Konoko or the TCTF is not possible, it could at least tell Muro and his men something about the psychology of the SLDs that the WCG makes. | ||
