Dialogue

- (Interact with Twitching Bangboo)
- Twitching Bangboo: (An unfortunate and fragile Bangboo is sprawled on the ground, looking like it took a powerful blow from an Ethereal head-on.)
Pat it gently- Speak out to wake it up
- Twitching Bangboo: (The Bangboo doesn't respond. Upon a quick inspection, it appears to be a rescue Bangboo loaded with a Carrot, a rescue beacon, and information about trapped individuals.)
- Twitching Bangboo: (It might be capable of assisting with the mission, but its auto-start function seems to have be damaged from the earlier impact.)
- Twitching Bangboo: (Its logged name was also discovered — A Team of Ten.)
- What a peculiar name!
- ...Is that really its name?

"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?) - (Belle?Belle? /
Wise?Wise?) How did you manage to connect? - (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Belle?Belle? /

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...
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hold on... "A Team of Ten"? Isn't that the name of this Bangboo? (Something's fishySomething's fishy /
- (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.
- 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—!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh, Fairy?! How'd you get in? (We should've blocked you completely...We should've blocked you completely... /
- 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.
- 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!)

- ...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! - (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.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ((Sigh... Okay. The commission is our priority.(Sigh... Okay. The commission is our priority. /
- (Interact with Twitching Bangboo)
- A Team of Ten: Ehn-na, ehn-na? (Are you the one who saved me?)
- Yes, it was me.
- 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.)
- 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.)
- We're here to help.
- 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.)
- 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.

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"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 /
- 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!
- (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?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!)
- (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? /
- 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. - 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.

- 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.

- 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.)
- (Place the beacon)

- 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?
- We've found them.
- Timid Trapped Individual: Phew... thank goodness. So, what should I do now?
- Wait here.
- The rescue Bangboo will be here soon.
