  3. Go to the Hollow and capture the "video data" Maurier needs

Dialogue

Icon Dialogue Commission Talk to the Suspicious Investigator
A suspicious person in the store? They keep muttering about right and wrong... As the Manager, it's time to show your professional expertise!
(Idle)
Suspicious Investigator: Where is it? Just where is it?
(Talk to the Suspicious Investigator)
Suspicious Investigator: That kind of videotapes... Do they have any of those here?
Icon Dialogue Commission Can I help you?
(Continue to commission)
Icon Dialogue Exit You'll find it if you keep looking.
(Exit dialogue)
Suspicious Investigator: Do you work here? Do you guys happen to have one of those...
Suspicious Investigator: Documentary-style videotapes that happen in Hollow, with the super-exciting fight scenes? Got one of those?
Suspicious Investigator: Like... a pseudo-documentary style tape with intense, realistic in-Hollow combat scenes.
Icon Dialogue Talk Absolutely not!
Icon Dialogue Talk Our business is legit!
Icon Dialogue Talk We don't sell illegal video materials!
Suspicious Investigator: Whoa, calm down... I just heard this place has a pretty big collection of rare movies, so I thought I'd try my luck.
Suspicious Investigator: I really need to get my hands on something like this urgently. If you could help me, that would be awesome.
Suspicious Investigator: *ahem*... Despite being a personal request, it's also for the Association's benefit.
Icon Dialogue Talk Personal request?
Icon Dialogue Talk Association's benefit?
Suspicious Investigator: Since you're asking so nicely... Kid, have you ever thought about joining the HIA?
Suspicious Investigator: It's pretty cool being a professional Hollow investigator:
Suspicious Investigator: Wearing sharp uniforms, exploring all the mysteries inside the Hollows, getting official subsidies from the authorities in the city, and the chance to become a star on one of our giant posters.
Suspicious Investigator: That's right. Tons of kids like you can't wait to join the HIA and become investigators...
Icon Dialogue Talk Really?
Icon Dialogue Talk Sooo...
Suspicious Investigator: But... plenty of people fail to pass the recruitment process.
Suspicious Investigator: If you can't get into a great school, there's cram school. If you can't get a driver's license, there's driving school... But nobody cares about kids who can't pass the investigator test. That's where I saw an opportunity...
Suspicious Investigator: The Hollows Cram School I set up is a genius idea that's going to solve the graduate unemployment issue, bring fresh talent to the HIA and help myself out financially!
Suspicious Investigator: What do you think? How about ditching the dying video rental business and becoming an up-and-coming investigator?
Icon Dialogue Talk Whoa...
Icon Dialogue Talk Who said this industry is dying?
Suspicious Investigator: But there's still a problem: All the students signing up want to see real combat footage from inside a Hollow.
Suspicious Investigator: They're always watching whatever videos they can find online, and now some students are asking, "Are you even a real investigator?" or "Have you ever been in a Hollow?"
Suspicious Investigator: Hmph, investigators aren't just idiots fighting Ethereals all day. This class has to be the worst one I've ever taught...
Icon Dialogue Talk Are you really an investigator, though?
Icon Dialogue Talk Have you ever been inside a Hollow though?
Suspicious Investigator: Hmph, just look at this shiny investigator uniform — I'm the head lecturer at the Hollows Cram School and a bona fide, battle-tested investigator for the HIA!
Suspicious Investigator: But we're strictly forbidden from filming inside the Hollows or sharing internal videos... So I had to look for some "unofficial" Hollow combat footage as a last resort.
Suspicious Investigator: And the "Tactical Training" course I teach really needs some firsthand footage as teaching material...
Suspicious Investigator: Anyway, you can give me a buzz if you're interested in my class — or if you find any of that footage I need.
A "Hollows Cram School" that helps people pass the investigator test? Sounds super sketchy...
You pocket the card he hands you and finally manage to shake off this shady investigator.
The card reads: Mr. Maurier — former Senior Investigator and Rookie Investigator Instructor. Guaranteed training at our Hollows Cram School. Become a Hollow expert in just 10 days.
Maurier seems to have posted recruitment ads for his Hollows Cram School on the Inter-Knot too. Is this some kind of new entrapment scheme?
Icon Dialogue Commission Tracked Check the "Investigator Training Program..." post on Inter-Knot
The investigator boot camp advertised on Inter-Knot, the one place where Proxies gather, is like handing out fliers for deep sea diver classes in the middle of the desert. Take a look when there's a spare moment.
(Reply to the Inter-Knot Post (Important) Investigator Training Program Now Open for Enrollment! Also: Looking to buy combat video recordings inside the Hollow, name your price)

Icon Dialogue Commission Tracked Go to the Hollow and capture the "video data" Maurier needs
As per the client's request, the commissioned footage should be a documentary-style, realistic, unedited, instructional, and tactically insightful recording of actual Hollow combat. As the filming team for the "Hollow Boot Camp" course, let's head to the designated Hollow, engage in combat, and capture the footage requested by the client.
