Stand Alone Complex proposed plot summary
Here is my proposed plot summary. I think it covers all the important points of the story without being overly long.

At the start of the series, a detective belonging to a police task force investigating the Laughing Man incidents - a series of corporate terrorism and blackmail events - accidentally discovers that the task force has been injected with specialized micro-machines. For unknown reasons, top police officials are spying on the task force using this method. The detective sends evidence of this spying to Togusa, an old friend now working for Section 9. Shortly afterwards, the detective is murdered by manipulation of the micro-machines in his body.

Acting on the information and the death of the police detective, Section 9 launches its own investigation of the Laughing Man incidents. Throughout the course of their investigation, Section 9 discovers the background behind the first Laughing Man incident, who was really responsible for the subsequent attacks on micro-machine corporations, and the identity of the Laughing Man. The Laughing Man turns out to be an accomplished computer hacker named Aoi, who discovered an internal memo on a form of sclerosis called cyberbrain sclerosis in the year 2024.

The internal memo reveals that a tuberculosis vaccine is more effective at treating the disease than an emerging therapy using micro-machines. Members of the micro-machine industry in Japan and the Japanese government suppressed the memo in order to profit from the alternative micro-machine therapy. Outraged, the Laughing Man kidnapped the CEO of one of the micro-machine corporations, and at gunpoint, tried to convince him to disclose the ineffectiveness of the therapy on live TV. The CEO refused, and the Laughing Man fled the scene. To protect his identity, he hacked every electronic device viewing him, replacing his face with a stylized laughing face instead. The kidnapping and the hacking skill required to make his getaway turned the Laughing Man into a folk hero. The internal memo on cyberbrain sclerosis, however, remained hidden from the Japanese public until Section 9's investigation.

Shortly after the kidnapping, a series of corporate terrorism and blackmail attacks occurred in Japan. These were supposedly carried out by the Laughing Man, but were actually staged by politicians and certain corporations. The attacks were part of a massivestock manipulation scheme intended to force a government rescue of the targeted corporations. The success of the scheme benefited micro-machine CEOs and government officials, who became extremely wealthy as a result. The Laughing Man was used as a scapegoat, and the special police task force was formed to investigate the incidents. Worried that the truth would come out, the top officials involved in the fake incidents started spying on the police task force to make sure the truth about the fake incidents and the memo on cyberbrain sclerosis were not revealed.

Because Section 9's investigation of the Laughing Man incidents ends up implicating top executives of micro-machine corporations and prominent members of the Japanese government in criminal activity, Section 9 becomes the target of a public misinformation campaign to discredit it. In addition, extensive efforts are made to eliminate Section 9 members at all costs. Near the end of the series, Section 9 is declared a rogue organization by the Japanese government. To survive, Section 9 members carry out an elaborate deception, leading the Japanese government and military forces to believe Section 9 members have all been killed. Section 9 itself is temporarily disbanded by Chief Aramaki.

Afterwards, the members of Section 9 - now safely in hiding - disseminate information the internal memo concerning cyberbrain sclerosis and the truth about the fake Laughing Man incidents. This causes a public scandal, leading to the downfall of the Japanese Prime Minister and his administration, as well as several micro-machine corporations and their CEOs. In the aftermath of the scandal, Section 9 is unofficially reinstated to its former position. The series ends with the members of Section 9 once again settling into their accustomed routines.

plot. the idea from the beginning was to be a summary. thats why the way we have it now is best. of course, there are some minor flaws, such as maybe vaguely describing certain things, but the biggest ones such as the laughing man incident can be explained alot less detailed than you think.Bread Ninja (talk) 08:14, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
