Ghost In The Shell
Season 02
S02E07 - DU: The Rhapsodic Melody of a Bygone Nation – <sup>239</sup>Pu
Prime Minister Kayabuki summons Aramaki after plans to ship [[plutonium]] from Uchikon 7 are leaked to refugee terrorists. Despite a Coast Guard raid that managed to halt a weapons sale to the terrorists, there are lingering worries that they may still attempt to capture the plutonium. To counter this, Section 9 is [[covert operation|covertly assigned]] the mission of escorting the material out of the refugee district. Commanding the operation is Kazundo Goda, who accompanies Section 9 to oversee the transfer. He and the team are inserted into the refugee district by [[Paratrooper|paradrop]], and arrive at GSDA checkpoint, where they are redressed in clothes befitting refugees and tasked with guarding a beat-up [[Sport utility vehicle|SUV]] and shuttle [[bus]] commandeered by other members of Section 9 for the purpose of moving the plutonium. Meanwhile, Goda discusses the mission with the commanding officer of the GSDA unit, who assigns three men to help Section 9 with their transport of the plutonium. The team departs from the camp and proceeds to head out of the refugee district via the beltway and interstate. Along the way the team encounters several of the refugees who live in poverty within Shinjuku. During the trip out of the district, the team encounters a rollover accident involving a [[garbage truck]], prompting Section 9 members to exit their vehicles and investigate further. During a conversation with the refugees near the truck, a GSDA member mistakes a bent pipe in the hands of one refugee for a pistol, and an ensuing shootout results in the needless death of several refugees and ill feelings among the group. These feelings are further increased when, after arriving at the intended destination, the team discovers that they were used as decoys, and the plutonium Section 9 believed they were guarding was in fact shipped by sea.
