In preparation for an attack on their headquarters by the Umibozu's shock troopers and their Type 303 Armed Suit robots, all remaining Section 9 members barricaded themselves into the building and fought the invaders with all the heavy weaponry they could muster. After higher-ranking government officials uncovered information about the investigation conducted by Section 9, the government disbanded the agency and declared war on them. The foreign official refuses to return the engineer, while Kusanagi moves in and kills him.ĭuring the investigation of the Laughing Man case, Major Kusanagi posed as the Laughing Man in order to uncover a conspiracy held against the Micro Machine company by the Japanese government. The team moves in while Major activates her therm-optic camouflage. A foreign power is conspiring to recruit a domestic engineer to fix the Project 2501 'bug'. Major Motoko Kusanagi was dispatched by Section 9 to spy on a building in New Port City. Members are specially selected from other groups, and thus no volunteers are accepted. In particular, Section 9 and its members are among the best cyber warfare operatives in the country, and as a result usually end up involved in cases relating to the internet, such as hacking and cyberterrorism. Its operatives are allowed to act with or without government consent as they are almost unknown to the public eye. Officially built as an international organization, it is actually a counter-terrorist network and anti-crime unit operating in the Japanese National Public Safety Commission. Public Security Section 9 was established as a search and rescue organization.
