ZZZ: HP

Before the Hollows were mapped and secured, agents entered and vanished without a trace. Their last transmissions were fragmented—whispers of static, broken commands, and flickers of lost memories. The city couldn’t accept those losses—not just lives, but the knowledge they carried. So, deep in the shadows of New Eridu’s labs, the Hollow Protocol was born: a covert system designed to capture the ghosts of those lost to the Hollow—fragments of thought, reflexes, and encrypted data. It was never meant to be more than a silent archive. But the echoes it collected… they weren’t always silent. Now, years later, faint signals pulse beneath the city’s network, stirring questions no one dares ask.
