Next we get introduced to the Americans, the "Good Guys" in the guise of OP-Centre, a govemental agency whose job it is to provide information to the USA goverment. The main characters from OP-Center are in Germany to arrange a sharing of techology with a Germany company.

One of the Op-Center members, who is in a wheelchair, decides to go and try and gather information about the attack, while the rest of his team work at who is behind it. They come across a person who seems to be funding a racist point of view, and decide to stop this person from his goal. "
