(February 3, 3004) Kurita's house is beheaded. The son of the murdered man, Takashi Kurita, becomes the coordinator of the Draconis Syndicate. He will have to make a difficult decision, because the warriors who fail to protect their master will face death. After long interrogations in the Internal Security Corps, they will be put to shameful execution. The only mercy that the guilty can ask the new Coordinator is that he allow them to punish themselves, as required by ancient custom.
