บท 48: A Smart Strategy

An organization or a company?

"Green code activated!"

Kenzo's organization has established a strict security protocol in case there are indications that any activity or member of the organization is possibly related to Ghouls. This protocol has been implemented to minimize risk and protect the organization's interests.

In the nightclub and in the areas near where the problem occurred, several messages with the number 606 appeared. This number signified the green code that should be executed.

"Everyone start hiding in shelters and trusted areas!"

At the moment there are indications that a company related to Kenzo's organization is compromised by reports from the CCG or evidence accrediting suspicious involvement, an immediate evacuation of any Ghoul involved will take place. This includes employees, collaborators, or any individual who may be related to the slightest detail of the incident. The goal is to prevent Ghouls from further compromising the security and anonymity of the organization.

With this, Kenzo not only protects his monopoly but also takes special care of each and every one of his workers. Something extremely special that must be done without any mistakes.

In this case, three vehicles were compromised that no one expected to lose during that nocturnal visit to the Twelve Monkeys organization, so something had to be done about it.

If it is discovered that vehicles owned by the organization or used by its members have been found in compromised scenes or associated with Ghoul activities, a detailed report of the situation must be presented. The owners of the vehicles will be identified, and their possible involvement in activities linked to Ghouls will be investigated to clear them.

In this case, Ghouls are replaced by human workers in the company report, and this immediately goes into the hands of the police, who will report the vehicles as missing a few hours later.

Therefore, if it is discovered that organization employees have been present in compromised areas or related to Ghouls, a thorough cleaning of security cameras in those locations will be carried out. This will ensure that there are no visual records that could compromise the identity of the organization's employees or its operations.

In addition to this, security cameras will also be cleaned, and the dates on which all company cameras are cleared of data will be updated in the protocol. This, in the face of a possible investigation, will not raise suspicions. At the same time, employee records will be moved to a hidden folder of well-protected data.

To minimize the risk of being suspicious and protect the identity of organization members, a temporary replacement of personnel by individuals not related to Ghouls will be carried out. This includes the relocation of employees and collaborators to other areas or companies to avoid possible reprisals or involvement in suspicious activities.

In exceptional cases where the organization's security is at risk, the temporary relocation of the organization or its visible operations will be considered. This will be done to avoid becoming a target of investigations or reprisals by authorities or other organizations.

...

"Security cameras have been wiped!"

"All information about Ghoul employees has been concealed!"

"Clean zone!"

Viper walked into the recently closed communication room in District 14 and said, "Remember very well, this security protocol will be implemented rigorously in case there are any indications or suspicions of a connection with Ghouls. The priority is to protect the organization's interests and maintain the safety and anonymity of its members at all times."

"Yes, sir!"

"What about the safe houses?"

"Sir, it's reported that they have received more than five hundred Ghouls, all guided by the Crow Master's guard. Cars have been sent to evacuate them, and District 20 is prepared to receive and classify them in one of the main bases."

Viper frowned; this was certainly risky, so he said, "Have the Five Pillars present themselves and eliminate anyone who is suspicious."

"Understood, sir!"

...

"[Are you asleep?]"

Touka: "[Not yet. When are you coming back?]"

"[Tomorrow, I can't forget my appointment! Do you think I've forgotten? That day is special; I'll answer all your questions, so think about all of them.]"

Kenzo looked at his phone as he returned to one of the main bases still under construction in District 14, which happened to be a coffee factory. The workers here were people who had been given a second chance, a much better-paying job with good conditions for the workers.

Many in Japan needed a breath of not-so-suffocating tranquility; they required understandable superiors and a work schedule that facilitated their daily lives as well as their commitments. Those were the jobs that Kenzo offered to his workers. By giving them all of that, he received loyalty, gratitude, and their silence in return.

"Wasn't the costume party fun too?" a worker asked, looking at Kenzo, who had recently introduced himself as their boss.

"It turned out to be samurai-themed, and no one accepted that a crow entered through their door, so they kicked me out," Kenzo replied disappointingly while waving his hands.

"We could have a costume party with a deer theme, where all your workers would be crows, and you could wear that costume," the worker spoke a bit with Kenzo before checking the coffee beans that had arrived tonight.

Kenzo didn't mind being seen. What Ghoul in their right mind would do something like what he had done? His workers would take this as a coincidence, and if not, it would be just something curious. To dispel their doubts, he might participate in a lunch; the simplicity of his condition was that he could be between suspicion and cover-up.

"I'll have to return to District 20..." Kenzo muttered as he took off his robe.
