Section 9 vs the HLF:
Events leading to the Aeropolis II incident.
Eighteen people were severely injured when 50 grams of C-6 were detonated at the Megatech Body Research & Development Division Headquarters. The HLF soon admitted responsibility with a message leaked onto an encrypted security net, making trace and identification virtually impossible. The security hack indicated member or members of the HLF had substantial hacking prowess.
Only 2 days before, Zebra 27 staged a heist on a military arms depot and was caught on camera. This revealed his presence and his connection to the HLF to Section 9 as the weapons stolen from the depot were used against Section 9’s A-4 loadoat personnel in the Bay Area, where the HLF were organizing since the HQ bombing. Soon after, the Energy Ministry was discovered trying to access Section 6’s files on Zerba. An official at the Energy Ministry, Sawamura, had leaked the Arms depot location and inventory to Zebra. Sawamura was also connected to Megatech’s Body R&D.
Survivors from the Bay Area shootout, including Zebra, fled to an unused refugee relief sector, abandoned by the city because of the build up of industrial pollutants (not even the Refugees wanted to be there).
It was in the old city where the HLF’s current secret base was located—at the monstrosity known as Aeropolis II. Section 9 moved into the Geofront while Sawamura was arrested.
In the end, the whole incident stemmed originally from a defect in Megatech’s main reactor. Sawamura planned to collect bribes from Megatech’s development section in exchange for covering up the problem. The blast of the Aeropolis II reactor, which was prevented by Section 9, was meant to resemble a terrorist act….then Zebra stepped into the picture.
His scheme was to take over the reactor and extort money from Sawamura. He went too far when he contacted Section 9 and claimed responsibility. Zerba 27 was eventually caught on the top floor of Aeropolis II and eliminated.
