Motoko Kusanagi edged herself closer to the edge of the building, staring at a building up ahead, but she remained hidden in the shadows, therm-optic camouflage engaged with a barely audible hum. Silently, she sent a heavily encrypted Cybercomm to the ship in orbit. "Commandant, I have several contacts converging on a building close to our AO, requesting orders." She said as she stood up and stood towards the edge of the building. "Major, hold position and wait for orbital scans, I'm not sending anything in quite yet, not our galaxy, not our problem.. Katamura out." The voice echoed in her head as she scoffed under her breath. "I've got a Graystone Office to the west, and a restaurant to the east.. I've only got faint contacts.. not my problem." She said before jumping off the top of the building and into an alleyway, emerging into broad daylight clad in a black jacket, a form fitting combat skin, and a Seburo MN-23 bullpup assault rifle slung over her back, casually, she walked down the street.

Motoko Kusanagi stopped when he saw someone in a white uniform make their way towards the alleyway she just emerged from. Being a cyborg she would see the thermal contacts up ahead. "The hell? Shit!" She said before following James Abrams, and diving for cover in the alleyway. Grasping the MN-23 from her back she spoke up, her voice clear as day. "What's the situation!?" She said aloud before she saw the brief scuffle, racking her MN-23 she backed away towards the alleyway. "Damn I didn't see them.." She then would send a Cybercomm to the ship in orbit. 'Commandant you getting this feed? I need some fucking help!' She said as she aimed the MN-23, which used advanced chemical propellants to give the weapon quite a punch, but the weapon likely didn't compete with their Magnetic counterparts. Motoko would be visible for just a moment before she engaged her therm-optic camouflage, fading from view.

Motoko Kusanagi continued to watch the group, she didn't open fire as she wanted to stay out of the situation, rather she observed. Being in a prosthetic body had it's perks, resistance to damage, increased strength, after all the Major had managed to tear a turret off of a HAW-208 that was on a rampage on her home world. She would reposition herself and then shout. 'Identify yourselves!' She shouted, her vision adjusting to find minute distortions and lighten the darkness, bringing the silhouette of the ODIs on the dark background into view. Already Motoko made her choice, she would fire her weapon into the alleyway, brief flashes of her muzzle before she made her way to the Terran. "Who the hell were they?" She said, up close he could likely see a faint shimmer as she withdrew a combat knife, she sliced the Zip-tie. Of course not before re-forming. 'Commandant.. I need backup.' She messaged, a reply coming in. 'I've got a squadron of Tachikomas en-route, the shuttle will land within the 8.' She said as Motoko tried to help Abrams to his feet.

Motoko Kusanagi Narrowing her eyes she had seen they had fled. "Where are those Tachikomas!?" She said aloud as she ran into the alleyway, turning a corner, her therm-optic camouflage activating once more, once she rounded the corner she saw the GPV and it's headlights overload the armor, garnering a clear shot she fired another well placed burst. Sending 7.62mm AP-HV bullets towards the seemingly shapeless forms in the distance, she kept her bursts short, to confuse snipers in the area. Above the group a single shuttle would be seen descending from the sky. It was a Taiyou Nakajima G-34 Renzan type shuttle, a tan drab with a large red sphere on the side, and strange characters under it. The shuttle was an ugly boxy looking thing, with wide wings and tilt-rotors which engaged after it had deployed. Swooping in above Motoko's position, it shone bright spotlights all around it, the cargo bay opened revealing several blue colored quadraped tanks, each of them small, and arachnid like, a large back pod, and the center pod with four legs, and two manipulator arms each arm bearing a 20mm cannon, and a 50mm AT Cannon under the main body. "Tachikoma! Open up!" She said as she climbed into the back of the Tachikoma, the pod encircling Motoko as it darted off, mixing with the other Tachikomas to confuse snipers, then all of them faded out of sight as therm-optic camouflage engaged.

Motoko Kusanagi moved inside the lead Tachikoma, which skittered through the streets towards the gates of a large facility. Motoko frowned and began to use the Tachikoma's sensors to wirelessly interface with the gates's locks. Hoping that they could give the Technician hell, a goddess of a hacker she would have to familiarize herself with their systems. Inside the Tachikoma she skittered up the street, the blue, arachnid like tank came to a stop, and unleashed a torrent of 20mm bullets on the group. Her aim precise as the Tachikoma's arms fired off, the other, unmanned Tachikomas skittered into position. Their AI's chattering happily amongst themselves as they closed in from all directions as the Taiyou shuttle ascended back into the sky. Returning to the Kaze-no-tani which had positioned itself in high orbit. Of course the Major would hold off. "They didn't attack.. Tachikomas.. fall back.. they haven't threatened our AO." She explained, the Arachnid like tank fading into the darkness. Motoko monitoring the small Taiyou encampment adjacent to the building, which was fenced with chain link, a makeshift landing pad for shuttles, and a handful of soldiers. Motoko's Tachikoma firing a thin glistening web like line towards the top of one of the buildings, and literally pulled itself on the roof, Motoko would return to her observant state. If they didn't return fire, she wasn't going to press the issue. Not her galaxy, not her problem.

Motoko Kusanagi edged herself closer to the police station as she sat atop an adjacent building. She was clad in a form fitting combat suit, black leather jacket and a Seburo MN-23 slung over her back. Slowly she faded out as her therm-optic camouflage engaged. 'Commandant, Izumi has been arrested, is the Empress awake?' She said through a highly encrypted cybercomm. Watching through the window as her therm-optic camouflage embraced her. 'Major... Empress is not too thrilled, she says extract Izumi through any means possible, use of force is authorized, I'll deploy backup shortly.' The voice said echoing through her head. 'Right.. I'll observe for now.' The woman said.

Motoko Kusanagi grasped the stock of her rifle for a moment, but she didn't pull it from it's strap and holster. "Alright.." She said aloud before jumping down off of the adjacent building. Landing on her feet without so much as a thunk. She was looking for a way in, an open window, anything to allow the Major inside. She didn't want to go through the front doors, and she was trying to observe the windows to see if she could find Izumi or Kazen in any of the rooms. 'Commandant, I can probably handle this myself.. I'll need evac.' She said through Cybercomm, easing herself around the building.

Motoko Kusanagi looked up to see a window that was without lights emanating from it, an empty office perhaps? The Major would grasp a grappling gun, which had a thin fiber that supported her weight, aiming the weapon upwards she fired, a pop echoed through the area as the hook shot upwards and coiled around a pipe, Motoko then lifted herself up to the darkened window. It wasn't locked, and so she did it the old fashioned way, she kicked herself back then crashed through the window, rolling on the floor and fading into the darkness. 'Commandant, i'm in.. i'll need that background.' She said through cyber-comm as she looked for any doors, her vision adjusting to accommodate the darkness. Approaching the door she threw it open, and was now in the corridor, therm-optic camouflage shimmering in distortion briefly, as the light distorted the camouflage field.

Motoko Kusanagi continued to remain at the other end of the corridor, she would see a door. And she figured she would try that one. Being in a prosthetic body, and having a cyberbrain had it's advantages, any psychic detection would be muddled, fuzzy and non-specific, perhaps all that could be garnered was a presence. Motoko didn't have Yuriko with her, and thus didn't have the sheer psionic ability. But the Major had an MN-23, which was all she needed. 'Commandant, I'll need evac soon, my gut tells me Izumi is in one of these rooms.. I'll hit the end first and work my way down.' She said, slinging the rifle forward, and racking the weapon to chamber a round, she then began a full run, and it would be moments before a presence was felt, and the door kicked open with sheer force, followed by muzzle flashes as Motoko filled the room with bullets, followed by a voice. "Izumi, get up, let's go! You have a job to do!" She barked hoping her intrusion startled the officers in the room enough for Izumi to make an escape.

Motoko Kusanagi dove for cover behind the doorway, being a cyborg once again had it's merits, as bullets truck her, they struck reinforced military grade armor which was just under her skin, enough to knock her off balance, but not wound her. "Shit!" She then leveled the automatic weapon on Sonya and her cover, and depressed the trigger, firing several dozen shots in rapid succession Her therm-optic camouflage making it very difficult for people to see her, and what you couldn't see, you couldn't shoot. "Stop the good boy crap and let's go! You're gonna get one shot at this." Hearing shots from down the hall, she backed away, withdrawing her CX, which was a fully automatic bullpup machine-pistol, aiming it to the corridor, firing a barrage of shots as Motoko dove for cover. "The Empire committed to a raid to break you out, we'll recover the body later! I can't hold them off forever!" She shouted from behind cover. 'Major.. what's going on? Do I need to deploy more men?" Echoed a voice in her head. "I could use Yuriko right about now!" She shouted.

Motoko Kusanagi growled and spoke up. "Izumi I said we'll deal with it later.. Gah!" She shielded herself a moment as Yuriko formed into being. "Finally she gets here!" She then dove across the hall, using Yuriko as a human shield of sorts. "Alright! Listen up!" She said to all the officers in the area. "You stand down, I'll stand down! I want to know why this man is being arrested!" She said, staying behind Yuriko, using her as cover. "Put your weapons down, and I'll put mine down." She then turned to Yuriko. "Stand down.. stand down.. I don't think he's coming with us."

"Yuriko!" Motoko shouted as the Psionic commando frowned. "Aww I wanted to smash!" She said as she narrowed her eyes, Motoko then stood up, her MN-23 coming into view outstretched and gripped as the woman faded into view so they could get a look at her. "My name is Motoko Kusanagi, Public Security Section Nine, I was improperly briefed on the situation, apologies.. the Taiyou Empire has an interest in the case, and request the immediate extradition of Mr. Izumi and Mr. Kazen, for they are under suspicion for terrorist activities involving the Red Dragon Syndicate."

Motoko Kusanagi scoffed and then shook her head. "I have my orders, I am not leaving empty handed. Currently the Empire has no relations with Terra, and will not pursue any relations with Terra, hand over the prisoners or Yuriko here is going to bring down this building." Motoko threatened as she faded out of sight, looking to Izumi. "Legal approach isn't going to work, they will fight us every step of the way, you have a job to do and the Empress wants you to go to Niihama. So quit playing the good boy and let's go! Yuriko can't hold them off forever, and neither can I, now the shuttle is going to be here, soon, make your choice!"

"Fuck it! Let's go!" Motoko shouted as she picked up the unconscious body of Yuriko Omega, and made a full run to the window she broke into, as the Kenbishi Noa flew over the Police station, Motoko used this as one shot, diving in the line of fire she rolled and a hook clasped her belt. "Your defenses are impressive, but the Empress' will, will not be stopped! She will return, and in greater force and number." And with that Motoko was jerked out the window, fading into nothingness. The proton beam searing towards her, but missing as the Kenbishi TR Craft picked her, and an unconscious, nearly fried Yuriko up.

Motoko Kusanagi had completely lost control of her body. Seen outside the bar she gazed inwards, eyes watching the interior of the bar as she stepped forward slowly. Her steps were slow and paced, but they were stiff as if she was fighting the steps. The cyborg would continue towards the bar, though the person inside was filtering through static, viruses, and random generative code. Slowly and almost toy like, she moved her Seburo MN-23 forward as she stepped into the bar. Seeing Sophia Voth, she stopped. 'Come on... I need to get this thing out of me...' The woman thought to herself. 'The code is random.. every time I make a vaccine for the virus.. it changes...' She added in her mind as she leveled the weapon on the woman before her.

Motoko Kusanagi pulled the weapon, racking it with unsteady hand, she said nothing as she stood, the sounds of bullets chambering with a clatter were heard, that same unsteady hand then stabilized the weapon, braced it. Finger twitched on the trigger for a moment, something was controlling this woman and she was fighting every moment of it. The finger then relaxed, then twitched again, then squeezed, the weapon firing a stream of 7.62mm AP-HV Bullets in her direction, her aim precise and unforgiving as she moved the rifle in a sweeping motion, spitting bullets in all direction but then the rifle clicked, unsteady hands then lifted the weapon, smoke and bullet holes perforated the area. Pulling back a lever, the empty, still smoking clip slid out from the weapon, and she reached to slide a new magazine into the weapon.

Motoko Kusanagi silently, took another step forward. 'That code is still eating me alive..' She said in her mind as she stepped forward again. Once another set of bullets was locked and loaded, she depressed the trigger, and swept the weapon back and fourth. Unloading anothr clip as the weapon bucked and the muzzle flashed. SHe wouldn't feel the bullet from the other gun strike her, but it was evident in a brief flash of sparks as the bullet impacted her shoulder, under leather jacket, synthetic skin and muscle, was military grade plating, it wasn't much, but could withstand small arms fire to an extent. This woman was also robotic.

Motoko Kusanagi seemed somewhat unphased as Sophia lunged for her, but was knocked down none the less. The woman tumbled to the ground with Sophia atop her. But also was equipped with superhuman strength, and said nothing as she shakily held Sophia out, saying nothing as she twisted her legs and attempted to roll them over, to force Sophia on the ground.

Motoko Kusanagi had dull eyes, even if they were robotic eyes, the lights were on but no one was home, the soul inside trying to sift through all the electronic data. 'It keeps changing..' While she was on the ground she grasped her Seburo M-5, trying to resist she would hold the weapon and attempt to fire several shots towards the oncoming being in her peripheral vision. She used the time in between code changes to shut off the external commands being sent from an unknown location, then she placed her cyberbrain in autistic mode, once that was taken care of the residual virus was removed, and her system vaccined, eyes twitched for a moment. "Get off of me!" She shouted before attempting to push Sophia off of her.

"Get off of me or i'm going to arrest you!" She barked once more. "My Cyberbrain is in autistic mode, I cleared the virus now you have five seconds or I'm going to arrest you, get off of me." She ordered as she moved under her. Noting the woman also had a prosthetic body. Some things would be made clear on close observation, Motoko was not assimilated, and very fine text on the outer iris of the eye made that obvious, as it read 'Megatech Indistrues, Niihama'

"I was compromised by a virus of some kind." She said as she reached down and grabbed her weapon. "I couldn't clear it in time to get some help, and I was on a mission. It took over my body and I couldn't clear it.. it was some kind of random generative virus.. I analysed the remnants and transmitted them to the ship.. I'll let them handle it." She said looking to the damage. "I'll get some medics in here."

"Nope.. I did notice several breaches in not only my systems, but a good portion of Niihama's net was infected with random generative code following the departure of an alien construct a few weeks ago." She explained, rising to her feet. "Right now the virus is gaining ground, bogging down the net and seemingly gaining control and spreading.. we think it's cyberterrorism. The virus accesses a cyborg through the net.. infects them and they suddenly start killing everything in sight."
