The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "Professional Rescue"

Story Description: As a precaution, you decide to carry out the Hollow rescue mission on your own, without Fairy. There is something unexpectedly shady about the commission provided by Shepherd. Just as you are discussing your plan, Fairy gets past the blocker and inserts herself into the discussion.


Meanwhile...
(SiblingSibling): (‍Hello? Wise, can you hear me?Hello? Wise, can you hear me? / Hello, Belle? Can you hear me?Hello, Belle? Can you hear me?‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk (‍Belle?Belle? / Wise?Wise?‍) How did you manage to connect?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Belle?Belle? / Wise?Wise?‍) How did you manage to connect to the voice channel?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍If we're talking like this, she's probably picking up every word.If we're talking like this, she's probably picking up every word. / Hey, aren't you worried she'll hear us if we talk like this?Hey, aren't you worried she'll hear us if we talk like this?‍)
(SiblingSibling): (‍Hehe, relax, bro! I pulled a little sneaky on her and blocked her audio feed. Even if she knows we're plotting, she won't be able to hear a thing!Hehe, relax, bro! I pulled a little sneaky on her and blocked her audio feed. Even if she knows we're plotting, she won't be able to hear a thing! / Don't worry, I cut off her audio feed. Even if she knows we're talking to each other now, she won't be able to hear anything.Don't worry, I cut off her audio feed. Even if she knows we're talking to each other now, she won't be able to hear anything.‍)
(SiblingSibling): Anyway, back to business. Shepherd just sent us some new commission intel. He said we should check it out.
(SiblingSibling): Apparently, about an hour ago, Vision already contacted a company called "Marco Professional Rescue" to handle the commission...
Icon Dialogue Talk So they already sent someone?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): If they're already hiring professionals to handle this, why do they need us?
(SiblingSibling): Exactly. Shepherd mentioned the rescue team told Vision that they sent a team of ten into the Hollow but then lost contact with them.
Icon Dialogue Talk And? I bet it's not that simple.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): And? I bet it's not that simple.
(SiblingSibling): Yeah. Like you said, the rescue team told Vision they sent a team of ten into the Hollow but then lost contact with them.
Icon Dialogue Talk A team of ten?!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Hold on... "A Team of Ten"? Isn't that the name of this Bangboo? (‍Something's fishySomething's fishy / Something's seriously offSomething's seriously off‍) with this rescue squad(‍!! / ......‍)
(SiblingSibling): Well, on the bright side, at least it's not ten more people trapped in the Hollow. Do you think this Bangboo can help us somehow?
Icon Dialogue Talk (Briefly explain the situation)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): It's got a Carrot and info on the trapped people. If it was up and running, it could be useful, but we are not able to fix it right now...
Fairy: Understood. Bangboo system scan complete. Initiating download of startup guidance program.
Icon Dialogue Talk Huh? Fairy?!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh, Fairy?! How'd you get in? (‍We should've blocked you completely...We should've blocked you completely... / I thought we blocked you—!I thought we blocked you—!‍)
Fairy: Negative. I, Fairy, type III general-purpose AI equipped with total sequential integration, have taken full control of the Hollow Deep Dive system. You cannot block me.
Fairy: According to our agreement, I will provide you with comprehensive support on this mission, including system repairs for small smart devices.
Fairy: Bangboo startup program is now installed. You may proceed to restart it, Master.
Icon Dialogue Talk Fairy, don't act on your own!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Fairy, please don't act on your own.Fairy, please don't act on your own. / Fairy, don't act on your own!Fairy, don't act on your own!‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk ...Am I supposed to thank you for that?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): ...Am I supposed to thank you for that?
Fairy: You're welcome.
(SiblingSibling): Hold on, (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), look at the Bangboo! She's right, just needs a quick reset, and it'll be good to go!
Icon Dialogue Talk (To quickly complete this commission...)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍(Sigh... Okay. The commission is our priority.(Sigh... Okay. The commission is our priority. / (Ugh... Fine. Commission first!(Ugh... Fine. Commission first!‍) We'll let Fairy slide for now and check on this Bangboo.)

(Interact with Twitching Bangboo)
A Team of Ten: Ehn-na, ehn-na? (Are you the one who saved me?)
Icon Dialogue Talk Yes, it was me.
Icon Dialogue Talk You were attacked by Ethereals.
A Team of Ten: Ehn-ehn! Ehn-nu, ehn-na. (Thank you, kind soul! I'm a rescue Bangboo, here to save people.)
Icon Dialogue Talk What's up with your name?
A Team of Ten: Ehn, ehn-na! (My master said it's a good name. With it, people will entrust their tasks to us.)
Icon Dialogue Talk We're here to help.
Icon Dialogue Talk I'm told you have information on trapped individuals?
A Team of Ten: Nhu-ehn. Nhe-nhe, na en... (That I do. Wait, I feel like I'm forgetting something...)
A Team of Ten: Ehn-na! Ehn-nhe, nhe-na... Ehn-na. (I remember now! After I found the first person who'd been trapped, I encountered Ethereals, lured them away, and then got knocked out.)
Icon Dialogue Talk What about the person you saved?
A Team of Ten: Ehn-na, ehn-na! (Follow me!)

Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): According to the mission details, there are three people trapped.
Fairy: Master, I suggest you follow the Bangboo.
Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): I don't need you to remind me.
Fairy: Suggestion: I can also search for active biological signals.
Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): Thanks, but no thanks.
Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): (‍By the way,By the way, / And by the way,And by the way,‍) keep quiet unless I call you.
Fairy: Sure, Master.

(Interact with Trapped Person)

First Collaboration

Despite taking place within Prologue: Intermission, the following Special Event dialogue is saved in the Video Archive under Cat's Lost & Found (A): An Uninvited Guest (Chapter 1)
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "First Collaboration"

Story Description: The trapped individuals in the Hollow tell you that they've been stuck for quite some time and are in desperate need of assistance. To get them out as quickly as possible, you and (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) take Fairy's advice and let her help you navigate the Hollow.


Excited Trapped Person: Alive! Alive's someone?! Oh, great! Me follow, let's take down those stupid Ethereals!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Physically, he seems fine. But his mind's definitely not all there...
Excited Trapped Person: Hahaha! Up drink!! Oh, I'm up fired!
Icon Dialogue Talk (Should I smack some sense into him?)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍I'm against violence, but it seems like physical therapy is the only thing that could work right now. Sorry.I'm against violence, but it seems like physical therapy is the only thing that could work right now. Sorry. / No time to waste. Let's try some physical therapy!No time to waste. Let's try some physical therapy!‍)
You jump up in Eous' body and give the trapped person a good slap—
Trapped Person: Ouch! I... I've never been slapped by a Bangboo before...
Trapped Person: Huh? You're...? You're with the Hollow rescue team, right?
Icon Dialogue Talk Yup yup! How are you feeling right now?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Yup yup! How are you feeling right now?
Trapped Person: Um.. Well, Okay... that slap definitely woke me up, but my head's still kinda spinning.
Icon Dialogue Talk How long have you been trapped in here?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): How long have you been trapped in the Hollow? (‍Do you still remember?Do you still remember? / Do remember anything?Do remember anything?‍) [sic]
Trapped Person: I don't really remember. When this Bangboo found me I was still fine, conscious and all. We were heading for the Hollow Exit, but we ran into some Ethereals.
Trapped Person: The Bangboo managed to lure them away, but I was left alone after that. I'd been here at least three rounds past the recommended Hollow time, and my head started getting fuzzy.
Icon Dialogue Talk You've been here for that long?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): You've been here that long? (‍Didn't they call the rescue team just an hour ago?Didn't they call the rescue team just an hour ago? / Our intel said they only called for a rescue team an hour ago!Our intel said they only called for a rescue team an hour ago!‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk That's different from our intel!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Wait, this doesn't line up with the intel. Wasn't the rescue team dispatched only an hour ago?
(SiblingSibling): (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), either the intel's wrong, or Vision's downplaying the situation to keep things under wraps.
(SiblingSibling): (‍What luck...What luck... / Ugh!Ugh!‍) Our first commission to build some rep on the new account, and we're already in this mess! If we don't hurry and find the others, they're in big trouble.
Icon Dialogue Talk But didn't the rescue Bangboo say...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍But didn't the rescue Bangboo say it only just now found the first trapped person? Our database is destroyed, and calculating the path alone would take too long. If we have to locate all of them in such a short time...But didn't the rescue Bangboo say it only just now found the first trapped person?

Our database is destroyed, and calculating the path is tough enough on its own. If we have to locate all of them in such a short time...‍)
Fairy: Master, I can analyze and track active biosignals. I can also use 80% of New Eridu's smart devices to assist in mapping the paths in this Hollow in real time.
(SiblingSibling) (‍Fairy, didn't we tell you not to act on your own—Fairy, didn't we tell you not to act on your own— / Fairy, now's not really the time to cut in...Fairy, now's not really the time to cut in...‍)
(SiblingSibling) Wait, hold (‍upup / onon‍)—what did you just say? You can help us track down the other two?
Fairy: Affirmative. Master, I'd like to demonstrate my value through this mission.
Icon Dialogue Talk Alright, we'll give you a chance.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, saving lives comes first. We'll give you a chance. Show us what you've got.
Icon Dialogue Talk Alright, saving lives is the priority.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, saving lives comes first. Let's see what you can do!
Fairy: Master, a rescue Bangboo carrying a rescue beacon has been detected.
Fairy: I recommend dividing the tasks: We'll locate the trapped individuals and the Hollow exit, while the rescue Bangboo guides them out.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Sounds like a solid plan. (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍), let's get moving!

(Enter combat)
Fairy: Beacon activated. You may continue the mission now.
(SiblingSibling): There're two other people trapped in here. Let's go find them!
Fairy: Biosignals detected nearby.
Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): That was fast...
(After defeating all enemies)

(Arrive at the designated area)
Fairy: You are near a trapped individual.

(Talk to Trapped Person)
Suffering Trapped Individual: Ughhh...
Icon Dialogue Talk Wake up! Stay strong!
Suffering Trapped Individual: Ugh... ohhh... argh...
(The person has been found, but he's in poor condition. He's unresponsive and shows early signs of Corruption.)
(Time is critical, and there's another trapped individual. Our best option is to leave a beacon here and have the rescue Bangboo lead him out.)
Icon Dialogue Talk (Place the beacon)

(Enter combat)
Fairy: Beacon activated. You may continue the mission now.
Fairy: Biosignals detected in the Hollow.
Fairy: I have marked the shortest route for you.
(After defeating all enemies)
(Enter the Fissure)

(Arrive at the designated area)
Fairy: You are near a trapped individual.

(Talk to Trapped Person)
Timid Trapped Individual: Gah! What is that?! Stay back!
Timid Trapped Individual: Wait, you're rescue workers... You are, aren't you?
Icon Dialogue Talk That's right, you're safe now.
Timid Trapped Individual: Tha... thank goodness! It's a good thing I read all those Hollow self-rescue guides before this. I've been hiding in this corner the whole time and managed to avoid being spotted by the nearby Ethereals.
Timid Trapped Individual: Two of my coworkers are also trapped here. Are they okay?
Icon Dialogue Talk We've found them.
Timid Trapped Individual: Phew... thank goodness. So, what should I do now?
Icon Dialogue Talk Wait here.
Icon Dialogue Talk The rescue Bangboo will be here soon.
Timid Trapped Individual: Got it, I'll wait here then!

(SiblingSibling): Let's go, (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍). We need to find an exit next.
Fairy: Rescue Bangboo detected. They are moving the trapped individuals.

(Arrive at the designated area)
(Enter combat)
Fairy: Elevated heart rate detected. Soft music will be played soon.
Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): Stop! That's not necessary!

(After defeating all enemies)
Fairy: Approaching the Hollow exit ahead.
Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): Well done, Fairy!

(Approach the Fissure)
A Team of Ten: Ehn-nah, en-nah! (I've brought everyone who was trapped!)
Timid Trapped Individual: Is that fissure the exit from the Hollow? Finally, we're saved!
Icon Dialogue Talk Let's all get out of the Hollow together!

Artificial Intelligence

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story Artificial Intelligence

Video Summary: The Cunning Hares are synonymous with "nothing but trouble."
Story Description: (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍) and you discussed Fairy's impact: she could definitely help you get closer to your goal, but there's no denying she comes with her own risks.


And so, this alt account commission full of unexpected twists and turns comes to a end.
Some days later—
(SiblingSibling): (‍Wise, finally! Come here!Wise, finally! Come here! / Oh Belle, good timing. Come here.Oh Belle, good timing. Come here.‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk ...What's going on?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍...What's going on?...What's going on? / Um, what's all this for?Um, what's all this for?‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk Is this some kind of weird ritual?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Is this some kind of weird ritual?Is this some kind of weird ritual? / What kind of weird ritual is this?!What kind of weird ritual is this?!‍)
(SiblingSibling): You mean these bags? They're full of broken signal transmitters that came from Bangboo. When put together, they're equivalent to several low-frequency signal jammers.
(SiblingSibling): With these, we can talk freely without worrying about "Big Brother" over there.
(SiblingSibling): Yeah, I mean that AI, Fairy.
(SiblingSibling): (‍Look bro, we really need to talk about her.Look bro, we really need to talk about her. / We need to have a serious talk about her.We need to have a serious talk about her.‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk I wanted to talk to you, too.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Mmm, I wanted to talk to you about her too.
(SiblingSibling): I thought with her calling you "Master" all the time she'd have you fooled, but seeing your (‍total seriousnesstotal seriousness / utter lack of surpriseutter lack of surprise‍) makes me feel relieved.
Icon Dialogue Talk Oh? Is it "trash talk the newbie" time?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Oh? Is it "trash talk the newbie" time? (‍Hazing is good for team morale.Hazing is good for team morale. / You've got my attention!You've got my attention!‍)

(SiblingSibling): It's been a while since we let Fairy participate in our Proxy work. And she's independently calculated all the escape paths you've used in the Hollows lately.
(SiblingSibling): I'm sure you've noticed. She didn't depend on any local data, nor did she ask for any support. But she's still 270 times faster than us when generating escape paths.
(SiblingSibling): It's not like she doesn't need any Hollow data — she does. It's just that she can access the data she needs almost instantly. Remember how she mentioned she can access over 80% of the smart devices in the city? Looks like she was telling the truth.
(SiblingSibling): (‍So likeSo like / SoSo‍), if we could only glimpse a corner of the Hollow before, now thanks to her, we can see the entire thing. But—
Icon Dialogue Talk But Phaethon's account is gone...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍ButBut‍) Phaethon's Proxy account is gone. Even if we (‍cancan‍) become better Proxies ourselves, it'll be hard to get back to the level we were (‍atat‍) before.
(SiblingSibling): Mmm, (‍thisthis / thatthat‍) is really important. But right now (‍I wanna talk to youI wanna talk to you / I want to talkI want to talk‍) about this Fairy problem.
(SiblingSibling): Fairy's powers are something the elites of New Eridu would all kill for. This is way too hot for us to handle.
Icon Dialogue Talk Nothing's for free in this world.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): There's no such thing as a free lunch. Fairy's presence could be a ticking time bomb.
(SiblingSibling): Exactly. The elites of New Eridu have been dreaming of the power she has. She's not just a bomb, she's an active volcano.
(SiblingSibling): And when she forced you to become her master, she said that you should "bide your time and wait for the opportunity to complete the agreement" with her...
(SiblingSibling): But refused to reveal anything further. (‍Something just doesn't feel right.Something just doesn't feel right. / It's definitely not that simple.It's definitely not that simple.‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk But if we can make good use of her abilities...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): But if we can make use of her abilities, we might finally get some leads on what we've been investigating! Our teacher's lifelong dream just might...
(SiblingSibling): Yeah. Anyway, we need to figure out where Fairy came from.
(SiblingSibling): There's no rush, of course. Let's take it slow. At least she's really good at staying hidden, so we don't need to worry about hackers like last time.
Icon Dialogue Talk How's the investigation going?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Didn't you ask the Cunning Hares to help investigate all this? How's that coming along?
Icon Dialogue Talk Let's just try and get along with her for now.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's just try and get along with Fairy for now.
(SiblingSibling): (‍Hmph, despite being an AI, somehow, she still manages to be rude to me! But that's the way it is I guess.Hmph, despite being an AI, somehow, she still manages to be rude to me!

(SiblingSibling): There's not been much progress, I'm afraid. Nicole got the strongbox mission from an anonymous subcontractor. They didn't get to meet anyone related to the commission. She said she was gonna try looking into the Red Fang Gang a few days ago, but I've not heard back since.
(SiblingSibling): I doubt they'll find anything concrete. Let's just hope that they don't get themselves into any trouble...
(SiblingSibling): They're good at making mountains out of molehills.
(SiblingSibling): (‍Okay. We've talked enough about this for today. Let's leave it at that.Okay. We've talked enough about this for today.

The Vision Corporation

Story The Vision Corporation

Video Summary: The Cunning Hares are synonymous with "nothing but trouble."
Story Description: The news reported the metro construction project undertaken by Vision Corporation was about to commence demolition, and at that moment, an unfamiliar Thiren girl suddenly rushed into the store.


Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 001
Reporter: As the municipal election is approaching, the high-profile civil construction project to renovate the old capital metro is now officially underway.
Reporter: It's our honor to interview Mr. Charles Perlman, the chief representative of the contracted company, the Vision Corporation!
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 002
Reporter: Later today, Vision will be carrying out explosive demolitions near the old capital in the metro reconstruction area commonly known as Canvas Street. Could you give us a rundown on the process?
Charles Perlman: Hahaha, good question, young man!
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 003
Charles Perlman: After the fall of the old capital, a number of damaged metro lines severely hindered the accessibility and urban development of New Eridu.
Charles Perlman: To solve this problem, the deteriorating remnants of the old metro must be completely removed, followed by the construction of a completely new metro.
Charles Perlman: Despite the cost, Vision has ordered a large quantity of high purity industrial Ether explosives for this operation.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 004
Reporter: I see. But there's currently no way to pass between Canvas Street and the city, right? How does Vision plan to transport the explosives?
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 005
Charles Perlman: Hahahaha, correct! But Vision always looks to the future. Take a look at this electronic map—
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 006
Charles Perlman: We're currently located at the demolition command center at the entrance to the Dead End Hollow, and the red area on the map is the demolition zone.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 007
Charles Perlman: The tunnel from New Eridu to the demolition zone has been completely consumed by that very Dead End Hollow.
Charles Perlman: However, some metro lines within this Hollow are still intact.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 008
Charles Perlman: So we decided to use a special train to transport the explosives through the Hollow.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 009
Charles Perlman: We were very careful to avoid any Ethereals, and finally managed to transport most of the explosives to the demolition zone!
Charles Perlman: Hahaha, don't worry — they won't explode without a dedicated detonator or a sizable external force!
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 010
Charles Perlman: I really wanted to show you around, but to avoid signal interference with the blast, we've had to shield the entire blast area.
Charles Perlman: Currently, only our dedicated frequency band is available for communication.
Reporter: All civilians have been cleared of the area, but communications are still being blocked as a safety measure? Vision has thought of all the details!
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 011
Charles Perlman: That's right! That's the vision of the Vision Corporation — the well-being of everyone in New Eridu.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 012
Reporter: ...As we had mentioned a few months ago, the Vision Corporation won the contract for the old capital metro renovation project.
Reporter: By promising to complete the contract in less time and at a reduced cost, the Vision Corporation won the bid with a significant advantage over the highly regarded Belobog Industries.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 013
Reporter: Our special correspondent tried to contact those involved at Belobog, but was unable to conduct an interview.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 014
Reporter: Mr. Perlman, do you have anything to say about this victory over the rising star, Belobog Industries?
Charles Perlman: Well, Belobog Industries is a respected competitor we can learn from. I'm sure they'll do better next time.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 015
Reporter: So, can you tell us the secret behind your reduced project costs?
Charles Perlman: This... shouldn't be one of the questions, should it?
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 016
Charles Perlman: What do you mean?
Charles Perlman: Th—This question wasn't included in the outline you sent—
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 017
Lady in Red: Mr. Perlman, we're live right now.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 018
Lady in Red: What Mr. Perlman means is, there's no question of improper cost reduction relating to Vision Corporation. We welcome the scrutiny of all citizens.
Lady in Red: Mr. Perlman will also be on the demolition site to oversee things till the very end—
Charles Perlman: Exactly! Right, I will soon be joining our technicians to take the train to the surveillance site in the blast zone.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 019
Wise: The construction site is near a Hollow, and they had to relocate all those people—
Belle: Companies that wanna enter the TOPS Alliance sure are something else.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 020
Fairy: Alert. Street cameras have identified an unknown person approaching the store at high speed.
Fairy: Speculation: Their video rental is about to expire, or they are plotting against the store.
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 021
Wise: It's just a customer, I'll go get the door.
Belle: What? That's a strange way to say "We've got a customer."
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 022
BAM
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 023
Thiren Girl: Mee—ouch~!
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 024
Wise: ...Uhh.
Belle: Eh...?
Thiren Girl: Ow... My nose...!
Chapter 1 The Vision Corporation Comic Book 025
Thiren Girl: Ah! Don't believe that hypocrite! He's lying!
