This, like the character profiles, features (or more appropriately, *will* feature) both official summaries
from the Stand Alone Complex website, and my own thoughts
in the episode. Unfortunately at the moment my memory isn't clear enough for me to comment on more than a few
episodes, but I'll be re-watching the entire series (at least one ep a week ^^;) so hopefully this seciton will
get filled up soon ^_^'.Episode 1 - Section Nine (Stand Alone)

Kenbishi Industries testing facility, Section Nine must stop it and determine the source of the malfunction.
Personal Thoughs: Erm...I don't know about the official site, but if I recall correctly, I don't think it was a Tachikoma tank that went rogue...

Man, only to discover several of the chatroom participants aren't what they seem to be.
