*I look a everyone, casually listening to "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" by Kate Bush with my orange and black Stony Walkman TPS-L2 portable cassette player. Everyone stares at me.*

*Ellen Joe scoffs* "A Walkman? Seriously? We're not in the 90s, kid."

I am. *Everyone pauses, and goes silent.*

Wise: The Hollow Protocol is a classified initiative developed by New Eridu's Defense Research Division during the earliest phase of Hollow zone exploration and containment. Faced with the constant disappearance of Proxy agents and the loss of critical operational knowledge within these unstable, reality-warping areas, the Protocol was designed as a cognitive salvage system—aimed at recovering fragmented neural and mission data from lost agents. To implement this, specialized scanware modules were embedded into Proxy equipment and communication devices, tasked with continuously recording bio-neural signatures, decision-making patterns, and encrypted command codes. When agents entered Hollow zones and failed to return, the system would attempt to capture and reconstruct residual cognitive data, creating digital "echoes"—imperfect memory fragments that could potentially provide insight into agent fate and Hollow phenomena. However, the initiative quickly ran into unforeseen complications. The data collected often exhibited anomalous behavior—loops of repetitive thought patterns, synthetic memories that did not align with actual events, and corrupted mission logs filled with contradictory information. These "echoes" occasionally manifested autonomous responses, suggesting a degree of emergent, unintended AI behavior. After a series of classified incidents—ranging from corrupted Hollow navigation data to unexplained communication blackouts—the Hollow Protocol was abruptly decommissioned and erased from official records. Internal documentation was heavily

*Grace tries to dodge the rocket, but it explodes nearby. She is thrown backwards, and she hits the ground hard. She looks up at the recruit, her eyes filled with anger and hatred. She raises her crossbow again, but the recruit is too fast. The recruit grabs the crossbow and rips it out of Grace's hands*

*grabs her crossbow and grabs the bow and then shoves it down her pu**y

*Grace cries out in pain and falls to the ground. She looks at the recruit with a mixture of anger and fear. She tries to get up, but she's too weak. She just lies there, her body trembling with shock*

Nicole: We've been tracking down a group of rogue proxies, and we need to take them out. They're dangerous and unpredictable, so it's going to be a tough fight. But with you on our side, we can do it.

What's the name of the group?

Nicole: They're called the "Cunning Hares." They're a group of con artists who specialize in tricking proxies into doing their bidding. They're known for their ruthless tactics and their ability to manipulate others.
