H.A.N.D.

Overview

H.A.N.D. (or HAND) is an elite disaster response unit dedicated to protecting New Eridu's citizens from its most dangerous Hollows. Their operatives are called Executive Officers. H.A.N.D. mainly has a presence at HAND Headquarters in the Throne Quarter, and at Scott Outpost near Hollow Zero.

Hollow Special Operations

Hollow Special Operations is the armed force of H.A.N.D. dedicated towards responding to Hollow disasters. Section 6 takes pride in its "absolute elite status, unmatched mobility, and unparalleled extermination efficiency." The team's rapid emergency responses and precision in neutralizing high-risk targets have become the pride of HSO. However, due to its small size, Section 6 can only manage a limited number of crisis events, often relying on the support of colleagues from other teams. Section 1, being the largest department within the executive branch, shoulders the bulk of "routine" combat missions.^[1] A combat squad from Section 1 was sent to reinforce Hoshimi Miyabi and Tsukishiro Yanagi of Section 6 while they were operating in Melinoe Hollow.^[2]

Section 6 also appears to work closely with Section 5 while maintaining a strong but friendly rivalry. Section 6 occasionally organizes get-togethers with Section 5. During a joint operation, Yanagi offered to handle the post-operation reports so that members of Section 9 could clock out on time while Section 5 was still chasing leads.^[3] When discussing who would be the most likely suspect that would target Section 6 during the HIA Club hacking incident, Asaba Harumasa jokingly suggested Section 5.^[4] To foster better relations with Section 5, superiors instructed Section 6 to organize karaoke team-building events from time to time. To avoid having Section 5 hog the mic and overpower them, Yanagi decided to practice singing a song that would ideally make Section 5 "burst into tears and run out of the karaoke room".^[5]

During a joint combat operation, Soukaku couldn't control her strength and nearly hit an Ethereal into a rookie member of Section 5 before Yanagi pulled him out of the way.^[6] Someone from Section 5 suggested Soukaku rent a videotape of The Ridu Tour to watch at her leisure without missing any episodes.^[7] Soukaku sometimes goes out for noodles with the crew from Section 5.^[8]
