Story Description: (BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle) successfully cracked the flash drive and obtained the password for the strongbox, and Nicole found its whereabouts. Looks like it's time to head to the Hollow again.
- Nicole: Here you are. We've figured out where the strongbox is. What about the task I gave you?
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): You mean the flash drive? The data has been recovered.
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (You guessed right, Nicole. It contains the password to the strongbox.You guessed right, Nicole. It contains the password to the strongbox.Text for Wise / Just like you guessed, it contains the password to the strongbox.Just like you guessed, it contains the password to the strongbox.Text for Belle)
- Nicole: OK everyone! Thanks to the Proxies' help, preparations are complete. It's time for the next step!
- Nicole: Anby! Explain the plan!
- Anby: Okay. Everyone, please look at this map of New Eridu.
- Anby: Our plan is: Enter the Cretan Hollow and defeat the superior Ethereal Dullahan, then recover the strongbox.
- Anby: ...
That's... it?
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): That's... it?
- Anby: Yes. What's wrong?
And...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): And...?
- Anby: There's no "and."
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): So what's with the map?
- Anby: Nicole says we have to show some professionalism. We can't let our partners look down on us.
- Anby: Otherwise, it'll be hard to bargain with th— mpffh...!
- Nicole: Saying too much again? Billy, why weren't you paying attention?
- Billy: It's not my fault! How was I supposed to know this was Anby's idea of a "professional" meeting...
- Billy: Oh! That's why she watched all those crime investigation movies before the meeting!
We can still hear you guys...
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Um... We can still hear you guys...Um... We can still hear you guys...Text for Wise / Um... We can hear you guys...Um... We can hear you guys...Text for Belle)
- Nicole: Ahem. Anyway, as Anby said, the goal is simple: Find and retrieve the strongbox!
- Nicole: Since there's no way to monitor the real-time situation from the outside, we'll need your support and guidance inside the Hollow!
Commission Description
The commission is as good as done. What could possibly go wrong? Complete it with ease on the HDD.
- (Idle)

- (Enter Random Play)

Disharmony
Video Summary: Every day's a surprise in New Eridu... and 10% are truly shocking.
Story Description: Nicole proudly boasted about how she located the strongbox, but the HDD is acting strange today...
- Nicole: Alright, we made it into the Hollow! Now let's find my strongbox.
- Billy: Speaking of which, Boss — who told you about the location of the strongbox?
- Nicole: Hah! That's a trade secret! You thought I'd just spill the beans like that?
- Nicole: Since we're on the same side, I guess I can let you in on a little secret.
I'm all ears.
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): I'm all ears.
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (Wow, I'm surprised you didn't tease her a little, Wise. Is it because you know she's pretty thin-skinned at times like this?Wow, I'm surprised you didn't tease her a little, Wise.

Is it because you know she gets pretty sensitive at times like this?I'm surprised you didn't take the chance to tease her. Is it because you know she gets pretty sensitive at times like this?Text for Belle)
- Nicole: What... What are you suggesting?
You just want to show off, right?
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Nicole, you just want to show off, right?
- Anby: Please don't put her on the spot like that. Nicole gets super sensitive in times like this.
- Nicole: Hey! I told you to stop blabbing so much, Anby!
- Nicole: Ahem! Actually, it was really easy! I have a few contacts at the Association who just so happened to have the records of routine observation missions and Ether resources for this Hollow.
- Nicole: I gave them an offer they couldn't refuse, and asked them to help compare data from the last two mutations. Locating the strongbox was as simple as circling up the difference!
- Billy: Sheesh, Nicole, you're good!
- Nicole: ...Data from the last two mutations. Locating the strongbox was as simple as circling up the difference!
- Billy: Sheesh, Nicole... good!
Huh? Why'd you say that again?
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Huh? Why'd you say that again?
Hang on. Didn't you just say that?
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Hang on. Didn't you just say that?
- Nicole: Proxy? Are you daydreaming? Isn't it time to go? I may know the approximate location of the strongbox inside the Hollow, but it's up to you to get us there!
- (Enter combat)
- Nicole: Don't worry, Proxy. I promise your wallet's gonna be smiling once we wrap this up.
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Protagonist in disguise: Nicole, I trust you...
- Nicole: Huh? Are you in a good mood today?
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Protagonist in disguise: ...Not.
- Billy: Pfft—
- Nicole: Billy, zip it!
- (After defeating the first wave)
- Eous: De...lay@!... Laaaag...
- Nicole: Proxy, why are you lying down while we're fighting the Ethereals?
- Nicole: Come on! Give us a hand!
- Anby: I bet the Proxy would charge us extra for that...
- Nicole: Never mind! We'll handle it ourselves.
- (After defeating all enemies)
- Eous: Signal syn... cing...
- Nicole: Hm? Proxy, are you coming?
- (Interact with Eous)
- Anby: The air around here seems to have become thicker.
- Nicole: That means we're almost there, right, Proxy?
- ?: ...
- Nicole: Hm? What's that sound?
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Protagonist in disguise: Ahh, right right!
- Nicole: You didn't hear a word I just said, did you?
- (Arrive at the designated area)
- (Enter combat)
- (After defeating the first wave)
- Eous: De...lay@!... Laaaag...
- Billy: Boss, the Proxy is lying down again...
- Nicole: Once we're done with these Ethereals, I've got to have a word with (himhimText for Wise / herherText for Belle)!
- (Idle)
- Eous: Nah-nu? En-nhu! (A Proxy? Be careful!)
- (Interact with Eous)

Story Description: The HDD connection was unstable, and (BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle) discovered some strange backend error messages. What could this be...?
- Nicole: Phaethon, what's going on with you today? You seem really distracted... Is this how you treat your regular customers?
- Nicole: ...Is this how you treat your regular customers?
Wait, Nicole. Let me explain.
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Wait, Nicole, let me explain. Your voices have been cutting out, and the HDD's acting up...
- Nicole: Don't drift off while guiding us! I paid top denny to hire the best Proxy around, Phaethon! Watch out or you might just get a negative rating on Inter-Knot!
- Nicole: Watch out or you might just get a negative rating on Inter-Knot!
There really might be a problem...
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): That had better be a joke. Though... I think there really might be a problem (on our sideon our sideText for Wise).
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): It's not "might," (BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle), there really is something wrong with the HDD, it's reporting an error.
(BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle), the HDD connection is unstable.
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (BelleBelleText for Wise / WiseWiseText for Belle), can you hear me? The HDD connection is unstable.
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): I hear you. Let me see... Strange. The HDD's backend is reporting an error.
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Wait a sec, I'll sync and try a debug.
- Billy: Huh? Were you talking to the other manager? Should we keep going?
- Nicole: Phaethon? Say something!
- Nicole: Hello? Hello! Phaethon?

- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Right!
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Uh, it's no use. I've tried everything, I can't restore the connection
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Strange. The Hollow... shouldn't so easily affect the HDD
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The real issue is Nicole and the others. Without the HDD, we have no way of contacting them inside the Hollow
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): No Carrot, no Proxy...
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Even with a good aptitude for Ether, they'll be corrupted if they stay in the Hollow too long
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): There's one more thing we can try...
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Reset it!
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Haven't you heard the saying?
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Turning it off and back on again can fix anything...
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Belle, didn't you shut it down? Why is the screen still on?
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So, the connection problems...
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Aren't on our side
- ???: Hmph. I thought you'd never figure it out...
- ???: Phaethon!

Video Summary: "Remember, your fate is in my hands now_"
Story Description: A mysterious hacker invaded the HDD, not only destroying your database but also threatening the safety of the Cunning Hares, demanding you hand over the strongbox password.
- ???: Oh, so this is all the famous Proxy Phaethon can do?
- ???: As you can see, the system is mine now.
What do you want?
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What do you want?
- ???: What do I want? Hehe, my request is simple — I want the code to the strongbox.
Who are you?
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Who are you?
- ???: You're not in a position to be asking questions. Listen up, my request is simple — I want the code to the strongbox.
—Strongbox? Code?

- ???: Oh, playing dumb? Do you not understand what's going on? Just give me the code to the strongbox.
(Attempt to retake control of the system)
- (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (We can't let this guy take control of the HDD, we have to find a way to take the system back!)
- ???: Hey, if you think being subtle will keep me from detecting an attempt to take back control, you're sorely mistaken. Don't waste your energy. I'm getting impatient — give me the code.
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (You can keep repeating yourself, but if we don't know what it is, we don't know what it is.You can keep repeating yourself, but if we don't know what it is, we don't know what it is.Text for Wise / Repeat yourself all you want, but if we don't know what it is, we can't give it to you.Repeat yourself all you want, but if we don't know what it is, we can't give it to you.Text for Belle)
- ???: Wrong answer.

Wait! This guy is trying to...

- ???: Get it now? A few taps on the keyboard, and I can turn everything you're so proud of into meaningless ones and zeroes.
- ???: I'll only delete some of it this time. But remember, your fate is in my hands now.
- ???: Your clients are messing with the wrong person. They've gone after something they shouldn't — the strongbox.
- ???: I know you got the password from Silver's drive. Think carefully before you reply.
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): (Ugh, this guy...Ugh, this guy...Text for Wise / Dammit, this guy...Dammit, this guy...Text for Belle)
- ???: Speaking of your clients, that unlucky crew is wandering around aimlessly in the Hollow right now.

- ???: I sent it to you, Phaethon.
- ???: I'll leave the video access function for you, so find another way to play it, and hurry up!
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Another way? But we don't have... (AhAhText for Wise / OhOhText for Belle), the TV!
- (SiblingSiblingWise / Belle): Okay, I'll transfer the video to a tape.

How rude...Text for Wise / The timing on this hack is terrible. What are we gonna do? What do they want from us...The timing on this hack is terrible. What are we gonna do?

This could have something to do with Nicole.
This could have something to do with the commission.
