The appearance of the "Ioannis" multifunctional Laurel series caught the eye of Mason, the leader of the Beehive Company's private armed force, the AMM. He knew that if he could customize this type of Laurel, it would become the trump card for his troops, elevating their combat capability exponentially, reaching a level that only national armies could contend with, and bringing AMM a step closer to the power of the Big Three armed titans of industry. However, he also knew that Agurts would never sell them an SA with a cutting-edge 6th generation Laurel core. Therefore, the Beehive Company proposed settling for only the 3rd generation Laurel core, but with a complete set of new mid-to-long-range weapons. As a part of this deal, they agree to not only pay a hefty customization fee but also to quintuple their annual honey quota supply to Agurts!
