We next see her outside an unnamed warehouse. Her superior, Commander [[Griffin]], and one Dr. [[Kerr]], argue about whether Konoko is ready for the challenge. Griffin commands her to find [[Chung]], a TCTF agent who infiltrated the warehouse to find ties to the [[Syndicate]]. If she can find Chung or the evidence she needs, Griffin can shut the warehouse down or she can shut it down herself. She confirms her readiness, and Shinatama reports a normal spike in adrenaline. | We next see her outside an unnamed warehouse.

Konoko ventures into the warehouse and finds the TCTF's mole, Chung, lying dead out in the open. Beside him is a pad with notes documenting a tie between the small-time warehouse and [[Musashi Manufacturing]]. Meanwhile, Syndicate troops are moving some contraband into an armored truck to get it out of the warehouse. Konoko stops them by commandeering a crane/forklift and flipping the truck on its side. She then demands that Griffin let her investigate the lead Chung's pad gave her, since Musashi is owned by [[BGI]], and Griffin has reported in the past that BGI may be in league with the Syndicate. Shinatama warns that Konoko is de-stabilizing as they argue, so Griffin lets her go. | Konoko ventures into the warehouse and finds the TCTF's mole, Chung, lying dead out in the open.

:This is the only chapter (in the original game) where you can fail other than by getting yourself killed (i.e. by letting the timer reach zero). | |||
:At that moment, the success of the mission depends not only on your survival : if the evidence leaves the warehouse, there's "no future" :) | |||
:That's not too logical, since Chung's datapad allows for the hunt to move on to Musashi Manufacturing, whether the truck is intercepted or not. | |||
Although we've just met Dr. Kerr, he's clearly being set up to be a sympathetic character, as he argues with Griffin out of concern for her. | Although we've just met Dr. Kerr, he's clearly being set up to be a sympathetic character, as he argues with Griffin out of concern for her. | ||

Nevertheless, the personal style in which it is written (asking whoever from the TCTF finds it to save the warehouse manager, etc.) sounds like something Chung might actually have written. So rather than it being manufactured data, we could theorize that Chung's easily-discovered body and notes were planted. Someone (maybe Muro) found him out, had him killed, and then read his report and specifically decided to let the TCTF find it so the Syndicate could move on Vago while the TCTF moved on Musashi. "Smart" indeed. | Nevertheless, the personal style in which it is written (asking whoever from the TCTF finds it to save the warehouse manager, etc.) sounds like something Chung might actually have written.
