Most of the time they turn over those cases to more mundane authorities, but there have been a few that weren't so easily resolved. The most notorious of these cases involved the discovery of a functional automated android production factory in Saitama, possibly the very same one which had produced the android who became known as Iris Philips of the Discovery Company. The question of who constructed this facility remained an open one even after the challenge it presented had been resolved. The Ghost Sweepers shut down the factory, but one android remained intact at the end, having been given no mission programming by the facility's controlling intelligence. The team turned it over to the Yokoyama Group, expecting to hear no more about it, and were shocked when they received a new member a week later -- the android, given programming to make [i]him[/i] into a loyal ally of the team. It took a while for them to get used to this unusual ally, but Tetsu ("Iron") has proven his worth many times over. Tetsu maintains a cover identity as Iwasaki Tetsurou, a college student who received extensive cybernetic implants to save his life.
