Cochlea Raid

Cochlea Prison, 23rd Ward

Many people were standing on the roof, building before the Cochlea Detention Center in the 23rd Ward. Almost all of them were wearing dark red outfits of the Aogiri Tree and also wore identical creepy masks; these were ordinary members of the Aogiri Tree.

Only three people were clothed differently.

One person wore a pure white robe with a bloody red mask covering his lower face.

Tatara, the direct subordinate of the One-Eyed King. Another one was covered in bandages; that was, of course, Eto. And the last person was wearing the traditional battle attire of ancient samurais and wore a weird-looking skeleton mask.

Hollow, Lucien.

"When will the main door open?"

Asked Eto with a mischievous voice as she looked at the Cochlea Prison.

"Soon."

Answered Tatara with a calm voice after he finished giving orders to various members of the Aogiri Tree and commanders of the smaller squads. Their target was to free as many ghouls as they could and also to kill the entire staff of the Cochlea.

Especially wardens and interrogators.

Warden Misaka Kyouji was a former Associate Special Class Ghoul Investigator, but that won't be a problem. Lucien also wanted to kill two interrogators, Tokage Goumasa and Kijima Shiki, as they were wicked psychos, but one must admit that they were perfect interrogators, so their death would also be a loss for the

CCG. Not talking about that, Kijima Shiki was at the strength of an Associate Special Class Investigator.

"When the doors open, I would enter first and clean those ants. It would lessen our losses, as our forces would be vulnerable during the entrance to the prison."

Lucien stated as he watched the door of the Cochlea, which showed some slight movement. It was clear that the door would soon open.

He was planning to enter first and kill all those people with firearms to lessen the losses of the Aogiri Tree. Then he would go on a killing spree, searching for the staff of the Cochlea and especially the deputy warden and interrogators.

Both Tatara and Eto agreed with him, and then the entire mini-army proceeded to the Cochlea. Because the outer part was usually unprotected, they got to the front door very quickly, and Lucien stood at the edge of the door, or we should rather say the gate, to the Cochlea.

"Then I am going. Wait for my signal."

Said Lucien; when the gate was opened enough as he congealed his kagune and jumped down. He was falling down at great speed and faintly admired this prison.

The Cochlea is built deep underground and is divided into four levels by the danger of prisoners. The structure's walls are coated with quinque steel to help keep ghouls secured within.

The First Floor is designed to imprison the lower-rated ghouls. A-Rate and below, practically all of them were here, with the exception of very strong and dangerous A-Rated ones.

The Second Floor was designated to imprison the S-Rated ghouls, which could be deemed as very dangerous. S-rated ghouls are very rare because the natural barrier for ordinary ghouls was A-Rate. Very few of them could cross into the S-Rate.

Third Floor is designated to imprison SS-Rated ghouls. In reality, this was the last Floor that was usually used because SSS-Rate ghouls were too rare and mainly, they were killed rather than captured.

The Fourth Floor was for the SSS-Rate ghoul, the most dangerous and powerful individuals. It was also the smallest Floor in the entire Cochlea Detention Center.

Underneath the Fourth Floor was a disposal room, fittingly named as it is where ghouls are sent through a compactor to be crushed to death, thereof "disposed."

Also, all ghouls in the Cochlea Detention Center were often given RC suppressants. Those are the drugs used to suppress the activity of the kakuhou. They were specially made by the CCG's Medical Department, designed for the sole purpose of inhibiting the activity of a ghoul's Rc cells.

The effects on ghouls include slower regeneration, kagune impairment, even the capability of preventing its use at all, and vulnerability to mundane items such as knives; grogginess has been observed, but it is unconfirmed to be either an intended symptom or a common side effect. When Rc cell activity is suppressed, it may cause an increase in melanin production that causes changes in hair color.

The CCG uses Rc suppressants as a means to subdue a ghoul rather than to exterminate it. Cochlea uses it for their ghoul prisoners, to weaken them for interrogation and/or as a measure of caution. Another known use that takes advantage of the ghoul's newfound vulnerability is for surgery or dissection.

As Lucien was falling down, there were tens of people under him, holding various firearms in their hands as they were shooting at him to kill. He only smiled at this and congealed several kagune daggers, and through his telekinesis, he controlled them to attack that staff.

Soon, those kagune daggers shot at the people, who were totally defenseless against such powerful weapons as the kagune daggers and were effortlessly slaughtered, like pigs. After Lucien landed down, he sent one kagune dagger to the sky as notice for the rest of the attacking party to begin the attack.

After that, countless Aogiri Tree members jumped down and covered the entire area. They were landing at various places in the prison, swiftly killing the remaining guards. Thanks to Lucien's first attack, there were no causalities during the entrance of the Aogiri Tree members.

Then Lucien went to the command tower to open all cells for all ghouls in the Cochlea prison. His aim was, of course, to unlock all doors and exits. Command Tower was placed, which contained a control panel for the entire prison.

Lucien got there quickly and tore apart the quinque steel doors. He killed two personnel people in an instant and then sat down behind the control panel. Even though he wasn't a computer expert, he could still open all cells and exits; after that, he would go hunt for the warden and interrogators.
