Scene 11: Section Nine
Section Nine was assembled to deal with some of the physical threats to the Grid. Motoko remembered being very proud of being recruited. Though no physical origins for The Platinum Prophet could be found, they must exist somewhere. Section Nine now had a new assignment: Find the origin point for The Platinum Prophet, and pull the plug.

Scene 12: Dragon’s Den
Motoko remembered that day in Spring when she walked through the cherry blossom festival.. Giving up a life as a full biological human to accept the cyborg implants all team members must wear.. This decision weighed heavily on her, but all biologicals were dying from radiation poisoning. What about the trees.. Would they survive? Would such beauty ever get a chance for rebirth?

Scene 13: Engagement Parameters
For Motoko, joining Section Nine was an attractive proposition indeed.. Integration into one of the most advanced cyber-mechanized units.. working with the Force’s finest… Enhanced cyberization, faster processors meant thinking was faster, razor sharp. Information barriers broken down. Instant access to everything, and everyone. But this could lead to overload. Engagement parameters were designed to keep focus on The Platinum Prophet Case.

Scene 14: Jupiter Mission
Section Nine’s Tactical Analysis Center had identified that investigations had led them to the conclusion that the first reported sign of the “Prophet Signature” (an electronic signature used to identify an appearance of The Platinum Prophet) came from a transmission received from Space Control’s Jupiter Mission.

Scene 15: On The Run
Section Nine interventions weren’t only physical. Coordinated operations involved simultaneous response both in the Grid and in the field. The boundaries between the physical and virtual world were now all but eliminated. No matter what your physical location, any Section Nine agent could always command any pool of Synthetics (drones), both land and air-based, available in large numbers throughout the City, though hardened combat units were obviously located only in hardened locations. Motoko remembered some of the past missions she’d been working on, leading to identifying the initial Grid tampering.
