<strong>Name;</strong>Ryuuji Kurokaze<br/><strong>Location;</strong>Tokyo, Japan. Shinjuku District<br/><strong>Tagged;</strong>Anyone<br/><br/>Ryuuji is sitting cross-legged in a fairly huge room decorated lavishly with traditional japanese decoration along with several other men, most of them are older then himself though it is clear to the observer that they hold higher respect to the younger man, understandably so as the said younger man is their leader after winning both the contest of merit and voting to be elected leader by a landslide compared to his other competitors. Although the booming of online conversation and meeting is undeniable, Ryuuji still believes that it is better to meet each other for regular meeting in real life, if anything to keep the tradition going and not forget their roots. He remains impassive as the men gave their reports regarding the situation in the various districts and divisions each of them are controlling, one report though stands out from the others as it catches his attention as he asked the man to clarify.<br/><br/>The man, looks to be in his late 30s nods before continuing his report, "There is a rumor that people has collapsed into unconsciousness when they are hooked into the internet, in particular when they are inside the Virtual Reality pod. There are suspicion that the phenomenons are caused by skilled hackers who manage to hack into the system of some online games or other virtual social center. Since the victim's consciousness is effectively connected to their virtual body, it is theoretically possible that harmful action done to the person in virtual world will have backlash to the person at the real world."<br/><br/>Ryuuji puts his hand on his chin as he thinks on the implication of the report, of course, he had heard of the rumors online but to think that it happened at one of his turf is disconcerting and implies that there is more serious issue than he expected. He knows probably more than anyone the danger hackers can do online and more so of the fact that although online security has greatly improve in the last century, they are still by no means substantial against the ever growing ingenuity of crimes in the said virtual world, identity theft, bullying, financial hacking are still rampant despite the authorities claim that the had the problem on capable hand. He himself is a hacker afterall, a skilled one at that too though he rarely use his skill to bring threat into the virtual world except when it is truly necessary to gain the upper hand against their rival group or financial threats.<br/><br/>He is cut from his musing as the older man speaks again, "Ryuuji-dono, we all know that you in particular had put interest on the currently popular online game called Eden. We wouldn't dream of disrespecting you by asking you to stop but we have to beg you in earnest to keep safe and alert in there where none of us are capable of protecting you. No matter what the others says, you are our leader and our pillar of strength." He bows low toward the young man followed by the others around the room, it is clear how much they respects and adores their leader.<br/><br/>Ryuuji closed his eyes as he replies in clear voice filled with authority and more than anything, respect, "I thank you for your concern, Akigawa-san. Rest assured that I will keep your advice in mind." he opens his eyes and the men raise from their position, awaiting for their leader's instruction. Ryuuji turns to the men before speaking again, "I want you all to go back to your respective divisions and investigate the incidents that you told me today." He then turns to Akigawa before continuing, "Akigawa-san, I want you to gather people and create a team dedicated to investigate this virtual threat. Contact our insider at the authorities to arrange a joint operation with them, ask them for list of possible suspects and help, any resource you need is yours for the asking. I expect weekly report on it if not more often."<br/><br/>The people around the room nods at their leader before standing up one by one and leave the room while Ryuuji himself waits until all of them are gone before finally standing up and head toward his room. As he entered the spacious but simple decorated room, the issue of the online trouble is still in his mind but eventually he just shrugs as he thought to himself, 'Well, nothing better than first hand investigation I guess.' he made his way to his VR Pod and remove his shirt as the pod opens with a hiss. He lays in the pod and closed his eyes as the pod closed and his mind is now connected to the virtual world.<br/><br/>(Moving to ingame IR)
