Regional State Building

After Konoko escapes the dangerous ACC, she goes into the city. Looking for her origins, Konoko goes to the Regional State Building, and there must fight off both TCTF and Syndicate forces. She finds a terminal to access her biographical data, but as she is doing it, Muro's elite ninja Mukade swipes away the data and saves it onto a disc. Upon tracking him down, he escapes through a window and she pursues. He escapes the roof by zipline, but as a subordinate ninja does the same, Konoko latches onto him and is carried to the next rooftop.

Added Value

The mystery deepens when we find out that both the Syndicate and the TCTF have their fingers in this building. The TCTF we can understand; they know Konoko is coming, and by the end of the Chapter, Black Ops has arrived to take or kill Konoko. But why is the Syndicate here? Looked at on the surface, Muro doesn't want Konoko to know something about her past, so he's having his master ninja snatch it away before she gets it. The encounter in the next Chapter with Mukade will introduce other possibilities. But even if this straightforward interpretation is correct, why doesn't Muro want her to learn about her father's discoveries? What does she learn that would inconvenience him? It's difficult to answer that without knowing what he has planned for Konoko, but if he wants her to eventually join him, then it could simply be that he wants the opportunity to feed her lies about what her father wanted to accomplish. Konoko will learn from the disc that her father wanted to save people from the poisoned outside world. Perhaps Muro wants her to believe something else (Cf. "I have accomplished everything our father dreamed of doing." from the last Chapter).
