(Post) Have you listened to Monica's new single?	Iridescent	2536	Have you watched the music video for Monica's new single? It doesn't sound quite as good as it looks. A treat for the eyes but punishment for the ears...	1.0
(Post) Am I the only one who doesn't understand modern art?	Sorry to be Cheesy:p	6690	Went to an exhibit recently. When the old capital fell, the Ballet Twins weren't as corrupted by the Hollow as they are now, so Investigators managed to save a number of exhibits. After seeing them, I have to say, did Investigators really need to risk their lives for these things? I disliked "Gentleman With a Bangboo" and "Ballet Brothers on Ethereal's Back" most. They feel like parodies of masterpieces to me, while also sucking up to the Ballet Twins' owners. The artist is Kinston Bird. I hear he never studied at any of the academies and just copies other peoples' work. I guess anything goes these days.	1.0
(Intel) Change in Activity: Lemnian Hollow	Super Dumpling	471	I got some info today from a pro that the activity in the Lemnian Hollow has plummeted! Proxies, we're in business~	1.0
(Post) What flavor is Scarlet Noble's Founding Day commemorative flavor?	StrawberryMilk	7171	I heard you can win a prize by pulling the tabs on Founding Day so I bought a whole case. It says "Founding Day Special Edition," but after drinking a whole can, I still can't tell. It just tastes salty. The ingredients list is just a bunch of scientific-sounding names and mentions no flavor. Could it be... building materials flavor?	1.0
(Post) When are they gonna finish fixing the road???	Waterfall Soup Instant Noodles	2871	How long have they been doing repairs on the road on Sixth Street? I can't even remember. Has the construction team just forgotten about it? Having to go the long way every time I go that way is so annoying. Even worse, so many people ignore the warnings and just waltz through! I hope they get tar on their shoes!	1.0
(Post) "Vision Demolition Case" Starting Soon	MetisIntelligence_bot1	4210	The New Eridu Judiciary has announced the first hearing of the sensational "Vision Demolition Case" is about to get underway. On the day before the trial, all relevant personnel from the case including the defense (Perlman) and legal counsel (the odd-job agency the Cunning Hares) will board a special airship in line with regulations to arrive at the Supreme Court. Reports claim the case will take on a public hearing format, with 300 seats available for registration by all New Eridu citizens over the legal age. Moreover, eight media companies including Ridu TV have expressed interest in livestreaming court proceedings.	1.0
(Notice) Beginner's Guide to the Hollows: Selecting the right workplace	Inter-Knot Team	897469	Commissions on Inter-Knot generally include these three things: where to go, what to do, and what to give. Newcomers tend to focus on the latter two, and care little about "where to go" — they're all going into a Hollow anyway, so who cares which one? This thinking could cost you your life. Hollows are not all the same, and each has its own characteristics: the terrain, the Ether environment, and the Ethereals inhabiting them can all be different. Rushing into a workplace that doesn't match your abilities can result in loss of life. New Inter-Knot users can choose what work they take on according to their own ability based on the official Hollow classifications. 1) Original Hollows (not recommended for novices) Cretan, Lemnian, Hawara, Pursenas, Solove and Papago — As the six primary hollows they are large in scale, with complex environments, Ethereals of varying strength and many other characteristics best suited to veteran Proxies and Hollow Raiders. 2) Companion Hollows (recommended for novices) A sub-Hollow resulting from the expansion of a certain primary Hollow is termed a "companion Hollow." They are smaller in scale and possess lower Ether concentrations, making them suitable places for newcomers to engage in commissions. There are exceptions, however, such as the infamous "Dead End Hollow." Gather information, listen to the opinions of others, and carefully consider your own abilities before choosing the right Hollow to enter.	1.0
(Post) Can anyone recommend a good street to live on?	flyingsnail	1778	Some things have happened recently and I'm planning on moving. Anyone got any suggestions?	1.0
(Post) Super dope Proxy names?	gawadaw	612	I regret using such a random name. I only registered the account to browse the posts here, but now I want to start working as a Proxy and my username is... Ugh! I guess I'll just have to make a new account with a cooler name!	1.0
(Inquiry) What do people think of the Hollow Raiders' Ballet Twins Day Trip Adventure?	Ghost Hunter Team	9864	Everyone knows the Ballet buildings right? It's one of the most famous spooky places in New Eridu. It used to be one of the most popular business hubs before the fall of the old capital. But the Ballet Group suffered heavy losses after the fall and eventually went bankrupt. The building, which symbolized the rise and fall of the Ballet fortune, was also caught in a Hollow and has been corrupted all this time. Only a small safe area remains exposed. Officials have designated the area as high-risk and are restricting entry, but that just makes it more exciting, right? I'm a veteran Proxy with 10 years experience and offer day trips to the Ballet buildings. I have a 100% survival rate, I'm trustworthy, and very affordable. Send a direct message if you're interested!	1.0
(Help) Emergency Search!	Red Bean Pie	853	Who's got any info on an Inter-Knot user called Rain? He (she?) took on my commission but hasn't replied to me since last week. I'm worried sick! If anyone has any information, I would be eternally grateful!	1.0
(Post) BREAKING! PERLMAN ON THE RUN!	Mr. Macrobachium	8562	OMG, did you see the news? Perlman escaped on his way to the court for the Vision case! They said on the news that his airship's signal disappeared after reaching the Outer Ring, and now there's a warrant out for him from Public Security!	1.0
(URGENT) COURT AIRSHIP HIJACKED BY HACKER, SUSPECT ESCAPES	MetisIntelligence_bot1	13205	Breaking News: On the eve of the Vision trial, an airship transporting personnel was hijacked by hackers on its way to the Supreme Court. Thankfully, an intelligent construct passenger was able to manually land the aircraft on the rooftop of the Ballet Twins, averting the potential tragedy of an airship plunging into the Hollows. This passenger claims that a powerful anesthetic was released from a suitcase that belongs to the defendant of the Vision trial, Mr. Perlman. It knocked out all passengers except for himself. The passenger rushed to the cockpit and found the airship was being hijacked. After crash-landing the airship, this passenger immediately evacuated the remaining passengers from the airship, but was unaware that Perlman had woken up, who then took off with the airship. Public Security has confirmed the testimony regarding the anesthetic and the hijacking, but further investigation is underway.	1.0
(Legal Help) I got a cleaning lady but she injured three home invaders	My Cat Rulez	9631	I ordered a cleaning service for my place today. The cleaning lady kept apologizing for being five minutes late because of traffic and road works. I was angry at first, but after seeing her so humble I felt a bit guilty and decided to let it go. I went to watch a movie after explaining what I wanted done. Halfway through the movie, Public Security called and said three people had broken into my house to rob it. I remembered the cleaning lady, a young girl at that, was still there, so I asked if she was okay. Public Security said the three robbers had called and given themselves up — she'd given them a beating and sent them to the emergency room. Now they're looking for a lawyer to claim medical expenses from me. Anyone know the law and knows what I should do?	1.0
(Info) Proxy Must-Knows: Carrots	Friend2Proxies_Kakami	1300	Investigators and Proxies always talk about Carrots, so what exactly are they? We obviously don't mean the vegetable! Essentially, Carrots are time-sensitive Hollow maps. Although the space in Hollows is ever-changing, it's still possible to trace patterns within a certain period of time. The Hollow Investigative Association is able to map out the best path out of a Hollow, import the data in a chip and distribute it to Investigators' Bangboo to ensure Investigators can safely travel through the Hollows. The data used is called a "Carrot." But how do Hollow Raiders get hold of various Carrots? Please give your answer in the comments below~	1.0
(Post) Anyone got their hands on the latest Bangboo model yet?	Sleep early Up late	3002	Anyone shelled out for a Marcel HP-601c yet? It's the Bangboo on the poster! Sounds really dope from the product description! It's got the newest Ethereal alert, 1-second super fast Carrot import, super long battery life and in-Hollow navigation, 4 custom module expansion slots, and 16 outfits... Any feedback? I only see pros, no cons.	1.0
(Notice) Welcome to Inter-Knot!	Inter-Knot Team	199861	Please familiarize yourself with the following rules before starting your Inter-Knot journey: 1) Verbal assault directed at any member, post, or comment on Inter-Knot is strictly forbidden. 2) Due to the private and unique nature of the Proxy business, please do not reveal your true identity in any posts and publicly mention that you are using Inter-Knot. 3) Please strictly abide by the process when accepting or delivering commissions. It is forbidden to accept commissions in the form of verbal agreements or make commission payments privately. Inter-Knot will not be responsible for unnecessary losses. 4) Users are welcome to share all kinds of information intelligence, and discuss their experience exploring Hollows, but these actions cannot raise users' Inter-Knot Level. This can be done by carrying out Proxy events and undertaking commissions. When dealing with commissions, your Inter-Knot Level can be seen as a visual representation in judging a user's reliability. 5) Anything goes on Inter-Knot. No matter who you are, you can use Inter-Knot however you like, as long as you can afford the price. May those who peer into the Hollows find what they desire.	1.0
(Post) Belobog Industries wins bid to build metro	MetisIntelligence_bot1	6225	The resurgent Belobog Industries recently landed the contract with an absolute advantage for the old capital metro renovation project with their second-round bid. A metro project once stagnant for quite some time is finally back up and running. Belobog Industries put out a press statement immediately after winning the bid, pledging not to use explosive demolitions but rather to recycle the existing metro structures as much as possible to reduce waste. To achieve this, Belobog Industries is carrying out over 50% of the construction inside the Hollows, which would be a significant challenge for most large-scale construction operators, but Belobog Industries has stated that with the company's self-developed "in-Hollow intelligent heavy-duty machinery," they can get the job done.	1.0
(Post) Can I work in the Hollows as a transporter with this Ether aptitude score?	lalala	5881	I'm a high school student. My dad bought an Ether aptitude test kit for work reasons and I tried it out of curiosity and ended up with an 80. My old man immediately jumped up from his chair and asked me to take the test again... Apparently, 50 points is the threshold to work in the Hollows and 80 is a very high score. Does this mean I can work in the Hollows as a transporter?	1.0
(Question) What's it like working at the Hollow Investigative Association?	Layabout Legend	3864	I've been unemployed for five years and got scolded by my mom today. It really hurt my self-esteem, so I decided to go out for some fresh air when I saw an HIA recruitment ad on Sixth Street. It was basically: Assist in official investigations for a stable source of income Had a dazzling PR image about looking good in front of your family (at least my mom will stop nagging) *Generous benefits like a competitive salary, flexible holidays, and free buffets at the company canteen. Looking at the dashing Ace Investigator in the ad, I was thinking my mom would be very happy if I ever got a job like that. But is it really such a good job?	1.0
(Post) Is Rescue From Hell any good?	Indigo	7989	Everyone's so hyped about Rescue From Hell lately, but I've seen different opinions online. Is it any good?	1.0
(Discussion) What food rations should I take into the Hollow?	Spiral Wind Chime	4124	I'm going on a very demanding commission which I expect to be very time-consuming so I'm preparing food to take into the Hollow. I've got some St. Leen anti-corruption nutrition packs. It's paste-like so can be a bit unpleasant to eat, but it's peach flavor, which I quite like. The rest is just some fast food, cookies, snacks. Any suggestions?	1.0
(Post) The old metro is about to explode!	MetisIntelligence_bot1	8267	The Old Capital Metro renovation project has begun. The contractor Vision Corporation is about to launch the first demolition operation on the project site. Vision estimates 30 demolition operations will be needed to complete the project. A special demolition command center has been set up, and is currently transporting Ether explosives to the site of the first explosion: Canvas Street. Two voices remain consistent in commentary about this metro renovation project: "Recycle it" and "Rebuild over it." Vision is in the latter camp. Recently, several media pundits interviewed Charles Perlman, chief representative of Vision, and this newcomer to the industry repeatedly expressed the necessity of rebuilding the metro and Vision's determination to do so.	1.0
(Post) Demolition delayed? What gives?	ButterflyJack	12563	Anyone see the news? They said today's demolition of the metro is gonna be delayed for "technical reasons." But based on my professional experience, Vision's explosives don't use any sophisticated tech and there are no complicated facilities involved in the blast zone, so it's highly unlikely to be delayed for any technical reasons. Anyone know what's really going on?	1.0
(Post) Vision's shocking scandal exposed — Perlman is going to jail!	MetisIntelligence_bot1	13409	Charles Perlman, chief representative of the Vision Corporation, was immediately arrested following revelations that Vision tried using explosives to kill residents of Canvas Street and avoid paying compensation to the relocated residents. Survivors from Canvas Street claimed that Vision promised them proper resettlement even up to the day of the blast, demanding they wait in place. Meanwhile, Vision blocked off civilian signals to the blast zone, masquerading as law enforcement to seal off the zone and stop any residents from finding out the truth. But the residents still discovered Vision's evil plot and managed to get out of trouble thanks to the services of a certain odd-job agency. The agency will also be acting as legal counsel for the survivors in their civil case to help them get the compensation they deserve.	1.0
A painful lesson to learn. Don't underestimate safety in the Hollow.	Shrimp Pancake	241	Really, don't overestimate your Ether aptitude, especially if your score isn't very high... Yesterday, my childhood friend and I took a commission to go find something in a Hollow but stayed too long. Within minutes, crystals had formed on my friend's body and he lost his senses. He couldn't talk straight. I managed to pull him out but he's still in a coma in the hospital and the doctors say he's only one step away from becoming fully corrupt. And because I didn't give him the inhibitor in time (it's too expensive, and we didn't take it seriously), he'd suffered internal damage to several organs... I don't ever feel like going near a Hollow ever again...	1.0
Have you got any recommendations for Thiren hair products?	Hair Loss Expert	319	As per the title. I'm a beast Thiren, and it's so much trouble trying to look after my fur. It's both frustrating and funny to admit that during the transition from Fall into Winter, I suffer from allergies due to my own hair loss.	1.0
(Post) Someone attacked a Bangboo merchant. Second I've seen this week.	LZ	19012	Looks like there's a lot of newcomers to the industry lately. Let me say what everyone is thinking: Bangboo merchants are no good in a fight, and nobody is in charge in the Hollows, so why do business with them when I can just break it and take the goods by force? People used to do it, though not as often as they do now. So here's a heads up — this doesn't end well for anyone. To put it bluntly, making enemies in the Hollows is doing nothing for your chances of survival. Not to mention destroying a Bangboo will only add Pressure to yourself, increasing your chances of corruption. Even if you escaped the Hollow, you'd have the Investigative Association knocking on your door in a day or two. These Bangboo merchants are sent into the Hollows by officially recognized merchant associations, and they carry special microchips with transaction records. Even when sabotaged, other Bangboo merchants can still read the chip. Usually, the merchant associations won't investigate trade records, but if a Bangboo is messed with, well, it's easy enough to find the culprit. If you wanna last in this business, you're better off dealing with the merchants honestly.	1.0
(Notice) The results of the 3rd "Tin Master Championships" are in!	IChooseTinMasterForm	7540	As you all know, the first Coff Cafe started off as a small, run-down coffee cart. Today it's become a mega-chain with more than 60 stores. As it continues to expand, the original Tin Master running the coffee cart is nowhere to be found, replaced by a dedicated Tin Master at each store. SO! Where's the original Tin Master with the best, most authentic taste now? Some say, as a unique model, he's been carefully stored away, while others claim he's hidden among over 60 other Tin Masters! This year's Tin Master Championship was judged by 15 highly regarded coffee experts in New Eridu (compared to 9 last year). Each judge was a regular at the original Coff Cafe and an old friend of the original Tin Master! They evaluated not only the taste, aroma, and color of the coffee, but also the posture, gestures, range of motion, and volume levels of the Tin Masters as they worked. The winner was awarded the title of "The Masterest of Tin Masters"! With all that said, it's time to reveal the results. Let's see if your favorite Tin Master made the list! First Place: Twenty-Second Street Flagship Store's Tin Master (successfully defending his title) Second Place: Twenty-Seventh Street Themed Experience Store's Tin Master Third Place: Sixth Street Store's Tin Master Fourth Place: Thirtieth Street Store's Tin Master Fifth Place: Takeaway Delivery Stand's Tin Master Sixth Place: Fifty First Street Store's Tin Master ...	1.0
(Recruit) Looking for Proxy for large corporate commission	Black Swan	7195	Recent financial reports show a company is doing well. Looking at their accounts over the last three years, I'd expect them to expand into Ether technology research. I predict a huge job from them in the future, and have confirmed through contacts the company will be working more closely with the authorities soon, so they need specific data on Hollow danger zones. It's a dangerous job the Hollow Investigative Association won't take on due to investigator protection regulations, so that leaves us Proxies. I don't have the capacity alone, so I'm recruiting reliable Proxies to work with. At least five years of experience required. Direct message me with your resume.	1.0
(Post) The Bangboo on our street keeps fighting with a stray cat...	cat'salibi	12577	To be precise, it was a one-sided beating for the Bangboo. It seemed to take the cat's hair-raised warning screech as a call for help. It insisted on hugging it despite all the scratches. But then again a cat's claws can't do much against a machine anyway.	1.0
(Post) That ****ed Vision Corporation!!!	CarrotTalent	363	Business hasn't been good the past few months. I broke my arm on a commission a while back, and after all that time it took to heal, my old clients found other Proxies to partner up with. I went through a lot of effort getting an exploration gig from an Inter-knot agent. Now that the time's come to foot the bill, I suddenly find out — it's a Vision Corp gig! With their project shut down, all the commissions posted to Inter-knot have been recalled, too! I only get a token 20% penalty back! Who could've known what a pain this commission would be? I've wasted the whole month on this!	1.0
(Gossip) What's the deal with Belobog Industries?	GossipGawd	236	I saw some Belobog Industries VIPs on a kids' program. The host asked them point-blank about a scandal from a few years back. You could tell he was put up to it by a rival, but it still worried me. Anyone know exactly what's going on?	1.0
(Intel) Attack at the Old Capital Plaza	MetisIntelligence_bot1	7503	A few days ago, several employees from Belobog Industries accidentally breached an unfinished plaza somewhere inside a Hollow, where they encountered an unregistered entity with extremely high Ether activity levels. Despite trespassing into a prohibited area, Belobog won't be facing charges from Public Security due to the malfunctioning Carrot. The site has now been secured and sealed by Public Security. (Due to limited intel, only old photos from before the fall of the Old Capital are available)	1.0
(Notice) Public Security Launches Awareness Campaign	MetisIntelligence_bot1	3889	Recently, Janus Quarter's Public Security announced the Safety Awareness Month campaign. According to the report, this campaign was initiated by Deputy Justin Bringer, aiming to boost public safety awareness, improve communication between law enforcement and residents, and effectively curb crime. It's worth noting that Inter-Knot is also on the list of targets for this campaign.	1.0
(Post) You still backing him?	migraine	3513	I was at Lumina Square station waiting for a friend today and I saw a bunch of posters with Bringer's face on them. Pretty sure they were promoting some Public Security event. Ngl at first glance I totally thought it was a part of Bringer's campaign. What's everyone's take on this? You guys backing him to be the next Chief of Janus Quarter's Public Security?	1.0
(Post) Sixth Street in chaos	no_pocket_money	3513	I just walked past Sixth Street. What's with all the ducks running around? A duck snatched my buddy's fries, lmao!	1.0
(Post) Pubsec evidence stolen???	Anonymous	8599	According to a reliable source, a major incident just happened. An evidence carrier from Public Security was ambushed by gangs using sophisticated methods while on a preset route in the Hollow. The evidence inside almost got stolen. Fortunately, two officers, following up on leads from another case, intercepted the gang in the Hollow and successfully recovered the evidence. The evidence, originally from a monument in a Hollow near the Old Capital, is potentially linked to serious Hollow-related crimes. As such, H.A.N.D. has now taken over its management.	1.0
(Info) Public Security's safety lecture is a success. All seats were filled.	MetisIntelligence_bot1	7503	A few days ago, the Janus Quarter Public Security held a safety lecture in the conference hall at the Lumina Square branch. The event was packed with local residents, making for a lively atmosphere. During the Q&A session, Public Security Chief Officers Bringer and Byron answered questions from reporters and citizens, sharing their insights on recent incidents and strategies for preventing Hollow disasters.	1.0

(Post) MASSIVE BOUNTY	keep_dreaming	4678	Perlman is worth so much, I couldn't stop my hands from shaking when I saw the size of his bounty on the news. Here's the real question — how can we catch him?	1.0
(Post) I'll send you home	Artist of the Lock	61242	Ah, the art from shadows deep, I've shattered worldly chains for thee. I, the Artist of the Lock, make this my creed. To the Ballet Twins Hollow, I free thee. Slumber once more in the cradle of night, in endless serenity.	1.0
(Post) Ballet Twins failed to sell again	Left On Read	3520	Have y'all heard about this? A while back, there was this huge buzz in the real estate industry. Some rich guy snapped up those two teetering towers in the Hollow, the Ballet Twins. But halfway through the deal, he just backed out and even paid a hefty penalty. Is this what they call the privilege of the rich?	1.0
(Post) What's been happening with the B Twins?	rook-ie	251	Hey Inter-Knot wizards, can anyone fill me in on what's been happening with the Ballet Twins? This girl I like from my tutoring school has been chatting with her friends about it, and I feel like it's a good way to start a conversation with her. But I can't find anything online, and my Inter-Knot level is too low to browse anything useful. Thank you all in advance!	1.0
(Notice) Beginner's Guide to the Hollows: Keep an eye on your Ether aptitude	Inter-Knot Team	152740	According to a poll of Inter-Knot users, 76% of Hollow Raiders and 26% of Proxies enter and exit the Hollows at least once a week. The Hollows are full of unknown mysteries and riches. Still, before embracing the Hollows, you should pay close attention to your adaptability to Ether, which determines how long you can stay in the Hollows. According to the official Ether Aptitude Indicator Test (Aptitude Scale 0-100), Inter-Knot suggests the following: 1) For those with scores of 50 or less (commonly referred to as "individuals non-adaptable to Ether"), off-site Proxy work may be a good option. While official agencies forbid approaching Hollows entirely, Inter-Knot does not govern so broadly. Wearing anti-corruption gear, taking anti-corruption medication, or putting together a dedicated medical team, can all increase your chances of survival within a Hollow. 2) For those with a score above 50 (commonly referred to as having an "aptitude for Ether"), congratulations on your Hollow-friendly aptitude! We still suggest all newcomers observe the "Recommended Hollow time" provided by the White Star Institute, and with practice, we believe you will conclude your own safe time. 3) Ether aptitude tends to plateau during adulthood. However, illness, aging, and psychological state can affect it to some extent. Please conduct regular self-testing to conclude your own safe time within the Hollows.	1.0
(Notice) Beginner's Guide to the Hollows: How to Modify Your Bangboo	Inter-Knot Team	101629	We all know the Association issues Investigators with special Bangboo for use in the Hollows that are designed to help them better complete their Hollow exploration tasks. Hollow Raiders, on the other hand, don't have this luxury, and so must modify their own little helpers. Fortunately, it's not difficult to modify a Bangboo for Hollow exploration, and these little robots are inherently very powerful and expandable. The first step in modification should, of course, be to install a Carrot recognition program — which is not installed by default on home Bangboo. This provides the Bangboo with the critical function of providing safe paths through Hollows. According to incomplete statistics, 73% of Inter-Knot users tend to buy the construction model Bangboo as a basis for modification. Compared to the home model, the construction model does not have the customizable voice feature, but it has 2 more expansion slots for individual components and 1 more built-in backup power supply. This allows modifiers to add 2 to 3 wide-area acquisition modules or material sensors. There is, of course, an upper limit to the load a Bangboo can take on. Cramming components recklessly might lead to the Bangboo breaking down prematurely under the strain. If you're uncertain about the best way to modify your Bangboo, you can seek advice and the experience of peers in the industry or opt for specialized modification shops to do the work on your behalf.	1.0
(Notice) Beginner's Guide to the Hollows: Distinguishing between friend and foe in the Hollows	Inter-Knot Team	100514	We've done a simple breakdown of the entities you might encounter in the Hollows. Whether it's a Proxy or Hollow Raider, you should know who is safe to work side-by-side with, and who is an enemy that should be avoided. 1) Ethereals: Enemy. Even without a Bangboo warning, you should be able to tell these things are dangerous. Hollow Raiders will often attack specific Ethereals to complete commissions, but it is often best to avoid them. 2) Bangboo merchants: Friend. These Bangboo belong to merchant associations and can provide you with basic supplies within the Hollows. Despite having the ability to verify the legal documents of those they trade with, trade associations disable this feature before sending them into the Hollows. 3) Investigators: Unclear. Generally speaking, the Investigative Association and Hollow Raiders are opposing forces. The Investigative Association explicitly forbids raiders from entering the Hollows on their own, and Investigators have the power to turn you over to Public Security. There are no certainties, however. And you should be adaptable in the Hollows, as regardless of one's identity, wanting to leave the Hollows safely is mutual. 4) Other Raiders: Unclear. When encountering other Raiders, Inter-Knot will not provide specific advice on what to do, but safety should remain the top priority.	1.0
(Notice) Beginner's Guide to the Hollows: Always watch out for unknown Ethereals	Inter-Knot Team	776851	Many a rookie Inter-Knot user will, after several commissions, start to think: I'm stronger now, and I can beat a powerful Ethereal. You may be coming to have similar thoughts yourself as you gradually increase your Inter-Knot Level. But is that really true? — Of course not. It's just because you haven't come across a powerful Ethereal yet. Please, do not lower your guard. The HIA classifies Ethereals into ten different strengths (from weak to strong): Antimony [Sb], Zinc [Zn], Tin [Sn], Manganese [Mn], Cadmium [Cd], Nickel [Ni], Copper [Cu], Bismuth [Bi], Lead [Pb], and Mercury [Hg]. Due to the weaker Ether levels seen in the companion Hollows where basic commissions occur, there are usually only [Sb], [Zn], and a few [Sn] Ethereals — which indeed present rather easy combat targets. However, once you go up to the [Mn] level, things ramp straight up significantly. Killing a [Mn] Ethereal usually takes a fully-trained tactical support team. I recommend buying or printing out pictures of all the Ethereals before going into the Hollows. As a rookie Proxy, there's 99.99999% chance you'll never encounter them — but on the off chance you do, even if they only look slightly similar, you'd be better off running away.	1.0
(Warning) Beware of the Proxy called Freeman's Antlers	Anonymous	7316	What a pain! This Proxy really screwed me over! I don't know if it was him or the Carrot he got, but following him out of the Hollow led me straight into a HIA checkpoint! Good thing I'm a fast runner or I could've been taken to the ground by the HIA! All thanks to that Proxy, I might just be the first Raider to break INTO the Association?	1.0
(Question) How to quickly level up your IK account as a beginner?	QuQ	892	See title~ I just started out as a Proxy and I see a lot of people on Inter-Knot are all Lv. 1, are they all newcomers? But then I sometimes see people with a crazy high level. Is there a secret to leveling up quickly?	1.0
(Post) Leave the walls be if you don't know how to graffiti	Unknown_erosion	3910	The walls on our street were covered with strange graffiti overnight. No, I wouldn't call that graffiti... more like drunken scribbles. It's hideous! Okay, I'll stop venting now so I don't give away where I live. I just hope the city administration take care of it asap.	1.0
Starlight: Lost Tower - Out now, but hard to get	LoveStarlightKnight	8998	Starlight: Lost Tower, the collectible card game launched alongside the second season of the hit series, Starlight Knight, went on sale yesterday morning and is currently out of stock in all retail stores across New Eridu.\nFacing accusations of intentionally creating scarcity to drive up prices, the card publisher stated it was due to the warehouse where the cards were stored being affected by a Hollow disaster, resulting in a large number of cards becoming corrupted and having to be scrapped. The cards are expected to be restocked next week.	1.0

(Post) Homemade carrot tutorial?	100%Sugar2xIce	2556	I got open-source Hollow data from our school (can't disclose more details, sorry) and wanna try working as a Proxy part-time. Of course, the first step is making a homemade Carrot. Don't worry, I don't wanna cause anyone trouble, I just want to make some for low-risk Hollows to practice. There's lots of tutorials online, but I was wondering if anyone has any good tips?	1.0
(Commission) (Post) It's a scam! Everyone, careful!	Walls Have Ears	5621	Breaking news! Public Security's got their eyes on this company! Apparently, this livestream agency has dabbled in money laundering and under-the-table backroom deals on their streams. They say the boss has been skimming off the top of donations. Not sure how, but Public Security caught wind of it and now they're under surveillance. Stay away from them, fam!	1.0
(Commission) Please help me complete explosives testing!	Colt'sExplosiveArt	64	I'm a scientist, and once my new explosive device is developed, it's sure to become a versatile weapon! This explosive converts the Ether Crystals contained within Gear Coins into different materials to upgrade the explosion, so the effect can be maximized within a Hollow with limited resources. But I can't get that many Gear Coins in a Hollow alone to verify the effect... I hope to find someone to enter a Hollow and collect Gear Coins to upgrade the effect, then use the upgraded explosive in an actual blast test! I'm willing to offer up my entire fortune as the commission fee. Please contact me if interested.	1.0
(Commission) Logistics accident! In URGENT need of a Proxy!!	Foodiesoul	9015	Something happened to my delivery. Pegasos Logistics' tracking shows their truck crashed into the Companion Hollow on Fourteenth Street and hasn't been seen since. Can a Proxy help me find out what happened to that delivery truck. I don't even care about the ingredients anymore. I just hope the driver is okay!	1.0
(Commission) My car flipped over! Someone help me!	Surviving Trial Period	3092	HEEEELP! Somebody help! My whole livelihood is on the line! My delivery truck flipped over in the Hollow... Could any of you legends help me out? It's fine if the truck's beyond saving, just get the cargo outta there, please!	1.0
(Commission) Iconic Scenes	Anonymous	121	Have you seen the legendary scene in the movie "Dimensional Musketeer" where the hero takes on a whole group of gunslingers? Well, it doesn't matter if you haven't seen it. As long as you dive into the Hollow and film something of a similar style, it's good enough. I wonder if youngsters these days possess such awesome skills.	1.0
(Commission) My Dadd-E seems to have its own idea of what to do	YourAverageSlacker	637	I've been out of work and staying home for a while now, and I've been researching ways to fully embrace a laid-back lifestyle. As a result, I've been trying to fine-tune a practical AI assistant system. In fact, looking at the outcome, it's been quite successful. At least when it comes to AI recipes and accurate portion and timing control, I haven't made any bad-tasting meals lately, the laundry is taken care of by an AI-equipped basket that hangs my washed clothes, and if I stay up too late, the AI gives me a reminder. There's just two issues: 1. The AI is kind of naggy. Whenever I get lazy or don't follow my daily routine, it starts nagging me like it's my own father... 2. The AI also possesses an unusually powerful self-driven awareness. It takes the initiative to ask for new behavioral training, then asks to be scored on it, and if I'm too lazy to do research and development or functional testing, it will tell me off. It's scary like my father is... so I've just taken to calling it Dadd-E. Lately, my Dadd-E wants to train in Hollow exploration and rate its abilities. I have poor Ether aptitude, so there's no way I'm taking it into the Hollow, but I really don't want to listen to Dadd-E nagging me all the time, so I'm here asking if anyone can take my Dadd-E into a Hollow for exploration training and then score it so it's happy.	1.0
(Commission Request) (Urgent) Valuable item sought, coordinates Lemnian Hollow Construction Zone	DoAnyhtingForMyBIGsis	61	Urgent commission.

Please, I need help!	1.0
(Commission) Even tiny garbage yearns for love!	100VineSugarSeaweedFortheApocalypse	3159	I have achieved nothing, and live a life akin to garbage, but there are still glimmers of light even in this humble existence. I have a very cute girlfriend, but she's so cute that I'd prefer to keep her to myself, so I won't post pics. We're gonna be celebrating our first anniversary together soon! I have a teeny tiny itsy-bitsy problem because my girl wants to spend our first anniversary in the place we first met. But we first met when we were trapped inside a Hollow... So, anyone out there who can help take me and my girlfriend into the Hollow? Please! I've already made up my mind that this'll be a romantic anniversary, even if I have to risk my life! Please someone, make this garbage's dream come true!	1.0
(Commission) Need someone skilled at exploring weird Hollows	Work ID: 7	1559	I'm an adjudicator of the Seven Urban Mysteries of New Eridu... Yes, it's a real thing. It's my full-time job. My work involves investigating Hollows known for their special features, summarizing the information for reviewers, and keeping the list of the "Top 7" up to date. There's been hot debate recently about a Hollow called "The Prophecy," so I bought some data on Inter-Knot. To be honest, it's not of very high quality... It's pretty much just a general explanation about "someone inside who can prophesize the future and give you magic powers." When I asked more about it, the ones who provided the info vanished on me. There're lots of Investigators out there who aren't any good at this gig, but still do it for a living. It's not a complaint. It's just the way I really feel. I need a real Proxy, someone who can thoroughly explore "The Prophecy" Hollow and get me first-hand intel. It may be a daunting process, but the compensation is nothing to sneer at.	1.0
The Red Fang Gang's doomsday?!	MetisIntelligence_bot1	17509	I just received word that the leader of the Red Fang Gang, Miguel "Silver" may have been killed inside the Hollow. Public Security launched a raid to apprehend the Red Fang Gang on Fourteenth Street earlier today. The raid was unsuccessful however, due to the sudden appearance of a Hollow. Silver, the leader of the Red Fang Gang, entered the Hollow and his whereabouts remain unknown. Several Red Fang Gang members confirmed Silver's disappearance but refused to give details on his reason for entering the Hollow. Considering his physical condition and the time he's spent within the Hollow, Silver may be in grave danger. While gang members have not given up on a rescue, morale is clearly low. The Red Fang Gang was behind last month's terrorist attack on the institute, the reason for which has yet to be discovered.	1.0
Please escort me to see a Bangboo merchant!	Gunn	3378	We're a channel distributor, specializing in restocking and replacements for Bangboo merchants in the Hollows. It's time for a restock, but I'm still new here and the guy training me isn't at work today... I don't dare contact him, and I'm too scared to go down into the Hollow by myself... So my plan for now is pay for a Proxy to go in with me... Please, can any Proxies help me out?	1.0

(Commission) Searching for the truth!	Cranky Intern	204	This is unacceptable! Does anyone remember the post I made earlier, ranting about how several senior Bangboo in my merchant association got lost in a Hollow because an intern messed up the Carrot? The intern fled before the association could hold him accountable! ARGHHHHHHH! I'm so angry! The intern and I joined the association at the same time, and I even treated him to hotpot at The Simmer Hot Pot Restaurant! Can you believe someone could be so rotten as to leave the mess to me after I treated them to a meal? Everyone at the association says it'd be hard to claim any compensation from the intern when no serious loss has been incurred, but I still can't let it go! So I hired someone to look into his background... Guess what? That intern turns out to be a Hollow Raider! ARGHHHHH! I need someone to go to the Hollow Raiders' hideout and bring that intern to me! I want to confront him for the sake of spicy beef and assorted meatballs! Waahhhh!	1.0
(Commission) Missing Bangboo merchants	Sorrowful Intern	573	Hello, pros... Some of the senior Bangboo of our merchant association have gone missing! We urgently need an expert to help find them!! Let me explain, I recently joined a very prestigious association as an intern, with many skilled senior members in it. Any of you who frequent the Hollows have probably come across them selling Resonia. My seniors' business was always doing good... Until the past few days, when five senior members disappeared along with their goods in a Companion Hollow!! My leader reassured me they wouldn't get corrupted. Perhaps, an accident took place or they deviated from their original route. The association has sought help from the Hollow Investigative Association, so they should be back soon... Still, I'm worried! Those senior Bangboo were always nice to me... Oh right! There's something else that's worrying me! Our association's rival is incredibly sly and cunning! They've been trying to copy us by setting up their own Bangboo merchant association and stealing our senior members, but they've never succeeded. I bet this is their doing! Can anyone can help us locate the senior members and their merchandise? I'll be forever grateful!	1.0
(Commission) Bangboo Operation Logs! Who Knows How?	how do i live w/o my bro	2775	As the title says!

I just need someone who can go into the Hollow to investigate on-site! Just read the log with your Bangboo and then fill in the missing parts to match the real scene. Oh, and just a heads up, there might still be remnants of a virus in the log, so make sure you're protected. Any skilled Proxy looking to make good cash, this is your chance. First come, first served! Handsome reward guaranteed!	1.0

(Commission) Obsidian: Strategic Cooperation	Obsidian Blade	9524	I am the captain of a mercenary troupe hired by Obsidian Division and I would not be posting a public request for partnership online were it not urgent.

This will be an extremely dangerous combat commission, but for the safety of New Eridu I urge anyone gallant enough to join in on this operation! I will pass on part of my pay from the Obsidian Division to those involved	1.1

(Commission) Obsidian: Strategic Eradication	Obsidian Blade	20341	I am the captain of a mercenary troupe hired by Obsidian Division. Hollow activity has crossed the warning threshold, and Obsidian Division have adopted the most extreme suppression program: Indiscriminate extermination of all living things inside the Hollow. Any Ethereals, bandits, or uncredited mercs — it doesn't matter who. Anyone setting foot inside must be exterminated. I know this may seem inhumane, but I'm just collecting a paycheck here... Please contact me if interested and avoid high-activity areas inside the Hollows for the time being. You know how mad they can get at Obsidian Division...	1.1

Camellia Golden Week Guide Travel Assistance and Promotion Forum	PlaygroundKipper42	4019	Camellia Golden Week is coming up soon. Y'all ready to party?! I've been antsy for days and tried coming up with some strategies for the week, but I kinda gave up for whatever reason. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there, right? So I made this support thread for us to recommend cool places you're at or where you've been. And we can share our travel needs with each other! I wanna go somewhere with NOBODY there, I mean somewhere with fewer people around! That's important to me! Also, I hope it's free. And it's better if there's like a bonus surprise! Gimme your ideas, people!	1.1
Extra stock for Golden Week — come try in-store!	Daydreamillionaire	20761	At first I thought our store wouldn't survive Golden Week and I'd be out on the street, bankrupt and jobless... But then we got this unexpected flurry of customers and our Triple Melon Bonanza fruit juice — which didn't seem that popular — suddenly started selling like hotcakes! Everyone's finally caught up with our manager's own weird taste in drinks! And our cups seem to be a hit with people too — lots of people are hanging on to them for some reason even after they've finished their drinks. I mean I don't get it, but thanks for spending money on it all the same!	1.1
Bang-Bang with Bangboo This Camellia Golden Week	MetisIntelligence_bot3	8732	To promote the upcoming launch of their new line of upgraded Bangboo, the Marcel Group is putting on a parade throughout Camellia Golden Week around some of New Eridu's hottest neighborhoods! As today is day one of the parade, lots of Bangboo are out there zipping through the crowds holding their firecrackers and wearing Golden Week merch. The Marcel Group schedule says these "Bang-Bang Bangboo" will also be partying around their favorite neighborhoods as they please outside of the official parade route schedule. Some scandalous rumors even claim that vintage models of various special Bangboo will be slipped into the parade for added nostalgia! This one's a must-see for Bangboo enthusiasts!	1.1
(HELP) Anyone opened this model of supply box before?	TyphoonHurricaneTornado	937	I got a few supply boxes recently, including one I've never seen before. It looks old but I haven't been able to find any like this for sale so I'm thinking it's been obsolete for a while. It may look old, but this thing is super solid. I tried taking a hammer and a drill to it, but it barely left a dent. Are there any professionals out there who can help me open this darn thing?	1.1
Guys I found the best way into Hollow C41	Pro Hollow Travel Guide Jonesy	3042	After several days of exploration I finally found the best entrance into Hollow C41. There's no security patrols here, except from 8:00-10:00 in the morning and 6:00-7:00 in the evening. Once you're in, there's no particularly difficult obstacles on the pathway into the Hollow, and the buildings aren't damaged enough to worry about any risk of collapse. The only thing to watch out for is a big sunken area straight ahead as the crow flies at 12 o'clock as soon as you go in. It might prevent you from getting lost, but it might also end up breaking your tailbone. If you're an experienced Proxy or have a trusted Proxy, I suggest heading in the direction of 2 o'clock as soon as you get into the Hollow before advancing on any further.	1.1
What an awesome mech! So cool! I wanna drive it!	miomio	10649	Treasure hunting in C41 is so much fun! Here's some footage I shot when I got separated from my partner. How cool it is that I managed to capture such a massive awesome robot on my very first trip into a Hollow! I was pretty worried about getting close to it (mainly because my partner's Rage meter was overflowing), so I didn't go over to say Hi. But thinking about it again — argh, it's so cool! So cool I can't sleep! Who's the legend in charge of this big robot? Could you please get in touch? Maybe I could touch it or just take a photo with it. I'll go anywhere you need, it's just so awesome!	1.1

I'll share the intel, and you'll do the heavy lifting. The bounty is split 50/50 after I collect from PubSec. The bounty for capturing them is substantial, so only serious inquiries, please. Wealth is sought through risk! If interested, contact me, and I will provide the location of the Bangboo working with me. You can complete the task with its assistance!	1.2
The Flutist Is Here With a Gift	Spiral Flutist	2750	I'll just cut to the chase and leave the gift here. This is a more stable version, and you can install it on a Bangboo for it to control other Bangboo. I won't say more. If you know, you know.	1.2

They've been locked up and are undergoing top secret interrogations right this second! Even more exciting is the rumor that the one who busted these phantom thieves is actually a high school girl... How could this all-powerful syndicate be brought to its knees by a mere schoolgirl! Is this our twisted human nature, or the end of all morality!	1.2

(Info) New Job Opportunities for Non-Citizens in Faunus Quarter	MetisIntelligence_bot1	788	According to reliable sources, Faunus Quarter will soon provide 500 new jobs for non-citizens. These jobs include typical roles in the Hollow that have a high requirement on Ether aptitude, and also positions in engineering, healthcare, safety, and firefighting that don't require such aptitude. After the election concludes, the requirements for obtaining citizenship are expected to loosen again. All non-citizens who have stayed in New Eridu for three years and worked for two years in Faunus Quarter may apply for citizenship.	1.2
(Post) The Outer Ring, it's so scary!	That's the Outer Ring!	1021	So, picture this: there I was, a runaway from home, wandering into the Outer Ring, only to get swindled out of my cash and landing smack dab in a place they called Blazewood. And guess what? Right on time to stumble upon a gathering of Biker Gangs. Motorcycles all lined up outside this gas station and restaurant, buzzing with fierce-looking gang members. Just as I stuck my head in, a couple of strong Thiren kids (even stronger than my old man, seriously) snagged me and dragged me off to their boss, thinking I was some sort of spy. Now, I swear, at that very moment, I was pretty sure I was done for, but after I said my sorry tale, their boss just gave me this sympathetic nod, slapped my back (almost knocking the lungs out of me), and said, "You're our guest now," leading me to a corner of the dining room with a couple of grim-faced dudes. I wanted to bolt, but the dishes served had me drooling. I chowed down while those burly guys muttered something like "Nah, no way I'm gonna bow down to that girl!" "Yeah, we gotta reclaim the Overlord spot." I was afraid to even breathe, like a showdown was about to kick off any second. Once I finished my stuff, they stood up, and one of them was like, "Hey, you're stuck here and can't go back to the city? No sweat, we'll get you back." ...??? And that was the end of my trip to the Outer Ring.	1.2
(Intel) Enhanced security measures at the entrance and exit of the city	MetisIntelligence_bot1	14510	In order to ensure the city's security during the election period, Public Security has tightened security measures at the city's main entrances and exits since last Wednesday.

Have you heard? There was a fight at the Reverb Arena, and something paranormal happened!	KoalaCookieLover	2754	You know, there're a bunch of underground bands and idols over at the Reverb Arena, right? And yesterday, for some reason, two bands got into a fight. After the fight, they all went to the hospital, and when they came out, they made up, saying they were going to become sworn family. You know musicians are like, with enough imagination, everyone in the world is family. As they're talking, they start singing again, and the security guard at the hospital says, "Aren't you going to become sworn family? Hurry up and do it." But then they counted the people and realized something was off. The number didn't match! Both sides swore no one was missing, and all the familiar faces were there, but the numbers still didn't add up. Do you think they brought something back from the hospital?	1.3

It's been way past the scheduled end time, but no one's come out. Then the HSO people showed up. Now they're not letting anyone in, no questions, no photos. If something happened to Section 6 at HIA...	1.3
Feature Upgrade! HIA to Roll Out the Latest Deep-Sync VR System	MetisIntelligence_bot1	9877	The Hollow Investigative Association's latest deep-sync VR system is reportedly in its final testing phase. HIA claims that the new feature upgrade will achieve an unprecedented level of synchronization with sensory nerves by greatly enhancing sensory dimensions and signal simulation accuracy. This will allow investigators to further improve their training under safe conditions. Insider information suggests the deep-sync VR system will not be available to the public in the short term and will be gradually implemented in training programs for investigators of all levels.	1.3
(Notice) The upcoming election is approaching. Please remain quiet!	[System Notif]	10248	Attention Inter-Knot Users: During the Janus Quarter Public Security election, patrols have been stepped up. Please stay safe while "doing business" during this special period.	1.4
(URGENT) Riot at the speech venue! Public Security made a fool of themselves!	Nuclear Fusion Heart	4501	This was taken at the speech! Not sure what exctly happened. I hear it's got something to do with Hoshimi Miyabi from Section 6... but things were so chaotic. It's hard to say exactly what went down. Bringer still hasn't shown up — looks like his chances in this election are pretty slim!	1.4
(URGENT) What's going on at Port Elpis?	Severe Myopia	2754	Seems something happened near Port Elpis last night! Word is a lot of Public Security personnel sealed off the area, and even HSO was involved. Anyone know what actually happened?	1.4
(Intel) Bringer's out of the picture!	Steam-powered Bangboo	6524	Latest Update: Bringer has officially withdrawn from the election! Finally, that nuisance is out of the picture. No word yet from Public Security on why he dropped out... Anyone got the inside scoop?	1.4
(Post) I GOT IT! Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!	The Winter of Mr. Air Conditioner	382109	Aaaaahhh, I finally snagged the tickets for Astra's New Year concert! Refreshing the page until my fingers cramped was totally worth it! See you at the Starloop live show! Ticket holders, speak up — let's form a group and party hard! Aaaaahhhhhhh!	1.5
Exclusive: Who really killed Joran?	Mutual Protection	46015	Joran de Winter, the legend whose music helped me through my teenage years, died because of a conflict of capital! Odeum HAE and Fugue fought over his performing rights, leading to his inability to perform on stage and eventual suicide due to depression. They literally destroyed him! How come no one knows about this?	1.5
(Post) Sneak Peek: Starloop's VIP Zone in Pictures!	Cutie Cookie	31502	Hee-hee! I've got the invitation to Starloop. Let's check it out!	1.5
(Post) I'm so done with this New Year...	Juicy Little Ethereal	9100	It's the time of the holiday again — time to visit my parents and relatives and face their "caring" questions about my life. Last year, it was all about my job, and this year, it'll probably be about my relationship status. They're gonna eat me alive. And there's no avoiding them, since we all live in the same city, and they'll come visit me if I don't visit them... I wish I could just hide in the Hollow. Aaaaaaaaah!!!	1.5
(Urgent Commission) Seeking the Great Reliable Phaethon!	Hiccuping Penguin	210	In urgent need of a Proxy! Must meet ASAP at the Ballet Twins. Not sure if I can specifically request Phaethon... It's actually my first time asking for help here. But I've also heard great things about (Proxy)(Proxy)Player's nickname, so... Anyway, high pay included!	1.5
(Intel) This Year's Yearlight Is on the River?	Mantis Shrimp in Shallow Water	13921	So, I got dragged out for a walk after dinner yesterday, and guess what? This year's Yearlight is ON THE RIVER! Isn't it amazing? I'm super looking forward to it! Look at the design. They really put a lot of thought into it this time. I can't wait to see how it looks lit up! I thought they'd test it right after setting it up, but nope... Guess we'll just have to wait until New Year's Eve then!	1.5
(Post) Something Made by a Bandit Can Be Called Art?	Windmill Warrior	3567	I'm sure you've all heard about the New Eridu Gallery heist while they were moving, and I can't help but wonder why that lamp is thought to be the most valuable thing out of all the stolen stuff. It doesn't really add up to me. I don't want to talk about Kay Faelschung's taste in art here. My point is that she made fake jewelry for gangsters — hundreds of pieces — and also created fake money. The money they earned from those fakes is something I could never make in a hundred lifetimes. Then she just took all the real jewelry and ran away? To me, she was a criminal in the first place and someone who did not honor a contract. Exhibiting her works in the gallery is simply unacceptable to me.	1.5
(Post) Is Mockingbird a bit too active lately?	Self-Cultivation	1486	So, I heard this gang has been stealing private art collections from a bunch of corporate execs, and a lot of others got warning letters from them. Looks like these notorious phantom thieves are back in action again. Are they trying to hit some kind of performance targets? Seriously do these criminals even have KPIs? And honestly, it's wild that a group like this is able to operate for so long. What's the PubSec even doing about it?	1.6
(Post) Big scale Hollow disaster coming soon	Anonymous	1098	As the title says Totally a prediction. Believe it or not	1.6
(Post) Breaking News!! Mockingbird is DONE!!!	I Never Lie	2333	According to reliable sources, the leader of the Phantom Thieves Syndicate, Mockingbird, has been confirmed dead. Even crazier is that this "Dark Ruler," who's been a headache for both TOPS and the Public Security for years, was actually an illegitimate child of the old Ravenlock family leader! The once-mighty Phantom Thieves Syndicate Mockingbird has finally FALLEN! Is this sudden murder the final chapter where light beats the dark, or just the first page of the prelude to a new conspiracy? With the old clan's coat of arms and blood-red raven feather greeting the coast, New Eridu waits for its next dawn... unless it's just heading into eternal night.	1.6
(Hehe) Surgery tomorrow. Good vibes in need	KoiTHEkoi	3469	I've been sick since I was little... It got so bad these past few years that I couldn't even go to school... I thought I was saying goodbye to my mom and dad, but OMG!!! I found a perfect organ match!! And it's a healthy, young organ!!! I feel so blessed! If the surgery goes well, my parents will have to put up with me for a bit longer, lol Now they're crying and praying hard for me... Just wanted to come here to ask for some good vibes~ After surgery, I'll come back to thank you all! Thanks, everyone!	1.6

(Repost) When do I get my share	NotNiceGuy	8349	I know it sounds kinda dark, but grandpa has probably had almost all of his organs swapped out by now... With the big family controlling everything, we just wanna live our own lives, ya know (posting anonymously)	1.6
(Post) Waaaaaaahhh... Lord Leader...	Long live the Lord Leader!	179	Waaaaahhh... people keep saying the Lord Leader is dead and I just CAN'T with this. Like??? Since the day Mockingbird popped up, he's been unstoppable. One-shot one-kill every time. The rich creeps got wrecked, and even TOPS and PubSec couldn't touch him. Now suddenly he's dead? Yeah right. Sounds fake. Personally, I think he's faking it. Lying low, waiting for the perfect moment to strike again. Classic move. Y'all acting like he's gone for good, but mark my words — he's coming back. Just you wait. (P.S. that theory about him being the Ravenlocks secret lovechild? Not gonna lie, kinda metal. Totally fits.)	1.7
(Intel) The death of Bringer	Spook Shack	15742	On a starry night, just beyond the Companion Hollow near Port Elpis... After losing his Carrot, Inspector Bringer led his few remaining subordinates through countless failed attempts and detours before finally finding a way out. Shaken and disheveled, the Public Security officers looked back — behind them, the relentless Ethereals still roared and clawed at the edge of the Hollow, desperately trying to tear through, but to no avail. They embraced one another in relief, grateful to have survived. But then... A massive hand suddenly reached out from the Hollow— In a single instant, sharp claws pierced straight through Bringer's chest! So whose claws ended the life of the "Janus Quarter Commander Candidate"? Were they from an Ethereal capable of crossing over... or a traitor disguised as one? Or something even more terrifying? What lies behind this tragedy — an Ether-woven nightmare, or the corruption of humanity consumed by ambition? For more details, check out the Spook Shack forum information board.
