With respect to the discussion of Fairy, it is funny that because of how she integrates herself so seamlessly into the HDD and the lives of Phaethon people start to just think they’ve always been together. But remember that Phaethon’s reputation as being the best of the best among Proxies was well established long before Fairy arrives… and the interactions between Miyabi and the Proxy in the 1.4 story when they traverse the Hollow together made me so happy, since it shows their true talent and knowledge of this stuff on a root level. They’re not Phaethon because they have a super powerful GPS system to guide them… they’re Phaethon because if their GPS goes down, they’ll just grab a sextant, look up at the night sky and get you to your destination anyway. 👍
37:30 There was also that one small mission in the new event "Into the Pale Wasteland" that has you find an Orphanage care taker. Instead you find a bangboo and it plays a nursery rhyme which attracts an Ethereal hinting that the ethereal was the caretaker that stayed behind to save the children
1:01:00 What Astra did was completely different than the HDD. Astra could sync to a bangboo but her technology 1)Can’t be used in a Hallow and 2)Astra could only talk the bangboo language while Belle and Wise can speak normally. So no, Astra wouldn’t need the implants because they aren’t the same thing.
yeah it feels like it wouldnt be that much of big brain idea to remotely connect to the eyes of a bangboo. But maybe physically take control of a bangboo is something more advanced and is the prototype Astra was using. However I think its the HDD that is the huge leap in technology that allows it to communicate into the Hollow, and I think Eous himself is more advanced than other bangboo to support trans-hollow connect and full human voice etc. So Phaethon is still the only one that can operate remotely into a Hollow, and is way ahead of the competition in that area.
2:25:22 This is a spoiler for his hangouts (or whatever they're called) but I think after the hangout where we watch a movie together that it's clear (to me at least) that the demo is based off that movie. He said how he had a nightmare about being the mc in that movie and that's why he wanted to watch it again to refresh his memory of how the story went. In the movie the mc turns into an ethereal every night and when they wake they remember nothing, but they can just tell something is off and I think it fed into Harumasa's real fear of one day becoming an ethereal too. So, no, I don't think he has ever become an ethereal, it was just a nightmare based off the movie (not confirmed of course but the movie plot matches to his demo pretty well and I saw others online speculating the same thing)
I love fairy radio and I hope to see more episodes in the future, thanks for hosting >< Now here’s a ramble on EARS because the way it works confuses me and Ashikai's comment about the proxy siblings made me think. We know that Ether Aptitude is a person's tolerance for ether, it's measured on a scale from 0-100, it grows from childhood to adulthood. (When does it stops? Does it naturally decrease with age in normal individuals or is that just people with EARS?) Back to what Ashikai was saying: "what if the siblings have smth more akin to harumasa when it comes to corruption" Question is how exactly Haru's corruption works, I have now an hypothesis (with 0 medical knowledge whatsoever): When it comes to the late stages of EARS the person affected loses their senses and motor capacities (?) (fairy often warns us about Harumasa's hand tremors) what's responsible for these things? The nervous system (which is also what's shown in the Section 6 unknown footage), also they use their spinal fluid to make the drug so it's safe to assume that EARS effects someone's nervous system. Considering Ashikai's theory about corruption effecting "consciousness" it'll makes sense if corruption attacks the nervous system. And I'm gonna assume that when it comes to healthy individuals it corrupts the nervous system and the body at the same time. When it comes to a person with EARS however, their high ether aptitude might make their bodies process ether energy differently. Let's take Harumasa's case specifically: his eye turned blue, but we can see some sort of veins going down his neck, we don't see where it starts but I think it reached the eye. I'm gonna assume that it starts from his right hand, so it went from the finger tips to his eye. (Which I'm gonna assume is his dominant eye since they usually match the dominant hand) But why didn't it spread evenly? Shinya's eyes were both getting affected at the same time, why that's not the case for Harumasa? Okay so you know how ethereals in combat do their "charge attack" and they change color. Thanatos specifically glows blue. The exact same blue Haru's eye turned into. But what are they charging specifically?? Are they catalyzing ether energy to launch a powerful attack? Now. Harumasa is an archer so he specifically needs his vision and arm (which pulls the string) in combat. What if he unconsciously processed the ether energy that was running through his nervous system and the concentration in those specific regions caused flare-ups(?) in his body?? He said that his condition is mild after all, and while he could have had been lying, he clearly wasn't exhibiting late stages signs before combat. (Yes his body was weak and he was coughing constantly but that happens in the main quest too) [Side note: IF that's the case, it'll also explain why Harumasa fights like Thanatos as we know when corrupted people turn into a specific class, maybe that's already written in the nervous system(?) genetic code(?) of an individual, maybe it develops while they're growing up and developing their ether aptitude. Harumasa will turn into Thanatos eventually but in the meantime he unconsciously picked up its combat style.] Basically what if people with EARS can process Ether energy and they're "fine" as long as it doesn't completely overwrite their nervous system? Side effects is that they're in intense pain and all the other symptoms of the disease. Back to the proxy siblings, they go into cardiac arrest, I feel like it's safe to assume they're also out liars because everytime we've seen someone gets corrupted on screen it'll show by ether crystals growing on their bodies. No one goes into cardiac arrest or faints like the siblings do??? Except for well Harumasa but we know he’s not the standard. Not sure if anyone bothered reading this whole thing lmao I tried to keep it short, keyword tried, if you did take a cookie :)
I think that losing consciousness in hollows depends on which part of the body ether corrupts first. in harumasa's case, his condition affected his lungs the most, so when he's in contact with ether, his lungs are the first to stop working, so he passes out. so with this logic if the proxys have something similar to Harumasa, its probably affecting their heart.
@ yeah it’ll make sense that it has something to do with their hearts, what’s interesting it’s that it’s the same for both siblings? So maybe it’s not a disease?? Unless it’s a genetically inherited disease in which case it’ll make sense its effecting both(?)
@@Gengbrila it'd make sense if its a genetic thing. but if not genetics or a medical condition, maybe it has something to do with their implants. what if the implants are made of some sort of etheric matter, and they are connected to more than just their eyes, like their hearts, using it like a battery and made it more susceptible to ether corruption?
@@monsieurkrk5493 oh yeah the implants being connected to other organs is indeed a possibility, I didn’t think of that because they refer them as “eye” implants specifically but it might not be exclusive to just them. That’ll be interesting
iirc the siblings' low ether aptitude is the opposite of Harumasa's disease. If anything, Wise and Belle almost succumbing to ether corruption after only a short amount of time proves that they're just average people. Hell, I think they only lasted for as long as Silver did before he turned into a Dullahan What's uncommon are humans with high ether aptitude because that's one of the qualifications to get into N.E.P.S. or H.A.N.D since they need personnel who can survive within a Hollow without turning into an ethereal Harumasa's health condition grants him a much higher ether aptitude than even his contemporaries from PubSec and HSO6 but it comes at a cost of his shortened lifespan
Since it talked about Miyabi's sheath acting like a maze similar to a Hollow, I kind of pictured the Tailless ethereal being able to exist outside the Hollow because the sheath itself was a portable hollow, or maybe the sword itself is physically a hollow and the sheath is like and extra layer of containment. Because of this I am starting to wonder if Phaethon somehow has a hollow integrated into their bodies somehow, and some sort of internal implants that help contain it. And that helps them bridge the gap between the real world and the hollow space to communicate between Euos and HDD. And because they are already constantly being exposed to Hollow corruption internally they have low resistance to more ethereal contamination from external sources.
The sword is meant to contain Tailless while the scabbard is meant to keep it from corrupting the environment outside the Hollow. I mean, think about it, why would Sarah need to extract a sample from Tailless when she could've just kept the sword and delivered it directly to The Creator. Hell, she could've disabled any tracking device the sword has given that Phaethon were able to tinker with its electronics.
@ why would Sarah need to in your example either? I think she probably could have just stolen it, but only needed a sample, getting a sample was easier, and it was worth getting rid of a Voidhunter by having Miyabi attack civilians.
@@TheCseli mean if they needed the same Tailless to create an Elixir that they're probably planning to mass produce then it would benefit them more to actual secure the direct source of the elixir.
2:32:02 Don't forget that the siblings are proxies experts at navigating the Hollows. When they threw the music player down the balcony or directed Zhu Yuan and Qingyi into the fissure, they were reading their carrot data that was telling them were fissures would be. Caesar falling through a hollow was just convenient. It's not hard to believe they simply searched for a fissure that'd lead to the scene where Bringer would be. The real question is what made them think Bringer survived in any extent for them to decide to venture into the Hollow and try to get something out of him.
I have no idea who both of you managed to convince yourself about the ecplosion not being an explosion... even if you ignore the fiery mushroomcloud and the dust wave, that "mental attack" shatered concrete and sent pieces flying...
yeah, there's definitely real "energy" involved. But i could see it maybe being ether energy from the cursed blade and not actual fire. So maaaaybe some ether repelling eyes would help stop that? But there are SO many other possibilities that could equally be possible. Like hacking reality like Silverwolf to delete the explosion around them, using some sort of Naruto inspired eye magic to open fissures to shield themselves from the blast, or being some sort of hollow ethereal hybrid themselves.
1:01:19 Astra Yao does not use the H.D.D., though. She's an Inter-knot user, which is simply the Internet in New Erido. Phaeton is the only person in posession of the H.D.D.
@@hiddenscorpiusXI she specifically says she is using a prototype technology from TOPS that allows her to sync with a bangboo. She also mentioned they are basing their research of this tech from the old capital which means it's a prototype hdd they are trying to recreate. But it is just a prototype for now
I don't think they mentioned about some people we encountered in the lost void, the one that can happen in encounter stages. Can we really converse directly through hollow fissure or it's just that person's particular capability, and most importantly, WHO is that person? Since it seemed that they're quite the veteran when it comes to hollow zero exploration.
1:08:41 Good point. Sarah did mention she's having White Noise do another job, but I don't think she stated what or who they will be attacking. Fairy's shut-down is most likely White Noise's work, but it's not certain.
53:28 I think they're more "Traditional" dresses, rather than ancient. Many traditional families in Japan wear traditional clothes from the Taisho and Showa Periods (1912-1926; 1926-1989). We see Miyabi and her Mom riding on horseback along an artificial riverbank and then watching fireworks sitting on concrete stairs, so they aren't necesarily that old.
(I feel like I'm going to leave several separate comments. I apologize in advance) 56:31 During the events of Chapter 5, Sarah draws the blade out of its sheath, making the energy to flare out in blue fox-fire, throws it towards a crowd with Miyabi leaping after it, she grabs it and the foxfire turns red. But before she could go Vergil on the innocent people, she was pulled into a Hollow. Again, she was pulled into a Hollow AFTER the blade was drawn and it flared energy out.
I think the twins are not human or ethereal variation for a couple reasons To star professor arche is some kind of ethereal or something else not human and he founded Helios academy so I think he did so with the intention to help people become like him so they can survive in the hallows or the image of him they show is him being their biggest success in turning people into ethereals so they can survive hallows better Second we assume they are human because they allegedly went through partial corruption but what happened they passed out and their heart stopped but maybe they were beginning to take on their ether form and I’m assuming ethereals don’t have hearts we also saw bringer pass out and disappear as he transformed so who knows what the process would be Lastly I think it would be super cool if when the siblings became playable it’s because they reveal their ethereal forms and are able to fight in hallows sounds bad ass
I'm just wondering as a theory when Astra debuts and she is part of the TOPS Alliance could we get a story of the famous singer being kidnapped and Phaethon having to rescue her. Also, I feel like rain may have Yokai and the other AI are in the hands of hackers one of them being White Noise
i dont think the siblings can create fissures, its just due to fairy they are extreemly adept at finding them so i guess fairy informed them that it senced bringer presence through a nearby fissure
I do think their "shield" is hollow related phenomenon. Like, hollow is an infinite maze so when the shield is activated (glowing eyes) all matter and energy will take an infinite time and space to reach them. Yes, it's like Gojo's blue infinity lol
I don't think Astra used the same technology as the siblings' implants when she had Snap meet up with Phaethon. I think the purpose of the implants was to maintain a connection between the Bangboo and the proxy from within a Hollow. Meanwhile, Snap never entered a Hollow throughout the event so for all we know Astra could've just been talking through Snap from an encrypted phone line that Evelyn begrudgingly set up for her after a month of begging and nagging
2:11:16 That is something that annoys me about Mihoyo; They'd build-up this organization or institute a character belongs to and that it has multiple different sections, and then refuse to elaborate on what each section does or who's their leader.
1:10:52 I assumed it was profesor Arche who narrated the void hunter trailer The second person said “and the 7th void hunter was….” “Here profesor arche founder of the Helios academy” It also seems like he was talking to fairy she had different voice but you can change it to your liking like Siri… because fairy in an more advanced version of Siri And it wouldn’t make sense that grace teacher had access to ghost and youkai also Void hunter has a vast knowledge of hollows even sewing some misinformation to the data base Their voice seems similar but not exactly the same grace teachers voice seems more rugged like he is at the end of his life
I've seen theories about the other AI and hackers, and they are a bit out there with leaps of logic. But I do like the idea that White Noise is Rain or related to Rain. Since rain itself often used as an ambient "white noise" when trying to sleep etc. And they are clearly both Hackers, and White Noise tried to assure us they would save Nicole if Phaethon cooperated, which would make sense if it was Rain and secretly friends with Nicole and had the intention to help Nicole all along. Plus it would be easy for Rain to give the job to Nicole then somehow use Nicole to gain access to Phaethon's network. That said, Rain seems to be a exceptional hacker and White Noise barely competent.
I missed this :( I wanted to ask about the mechanism behind the cursed sword, and how (and when) exactly did Bringer absorb the power of the cursed sword as that's not quite clear to me in the story
1) nullface were able to collect enough data to create a digital miyabi 2) when miyabi was captured Sarah (with help from a glove???) was able to open the scarab and collect the sword data that's my understanding
@@shibepanic I understand that much that the digital miyabi data was mainly used to replicate Miyabi's fingerprint to unlock the sword from the scabbard. The part I don't understand is the specific mechanism behind the absorption. Specifically, After the "absorption", the sword still retains its power, so I'm suspecting that it's more of a recreation rather than absorption. But specifically, which characteristics of the cursed sword that Sarah needed to absorb/analyze to recreate it for Bringer? Its energy? Its encoding/transformation that allows it to be sealed and used safely? The particles from the sword emits? The game seems to imply that the cursed sword true nature is similar to that of an Ether, but they never really explain what exactly makes it different from other Ether that require Sarah to conduct this sword-hunting plan.
@@outcastant oh, apologies for my confusion! afaik the sword literally contains an ethereal (the tailless), my guess is that they took the data and injected it into the serum that bringer took when he transformed, that's why he was able to use the "powaah of the cursed bladeeee" or something. in any case the lore goes deep 😭
I don't think the sword has an ethereal in it, or at least it's not confirmed that Tailless is an Ethereal, I don't think? But, I feel the evidence carrier points more towards them being able to take Ethereals out of the Hollows than the sword does. Technically, if the Sacrifice is an etheric being, it should just cease to exist/disintergrate outside the hollow, but they know, regardless of what the Sacrifice is, they CAN take the remains out without risking it disappearing or being distorted (probably) Edit: In the key terms in the lore video, there's one term that only exists in Chinese, 塞昂 I guess "Scion"? And I feel like it's more possible that they're a part of that unknown faction, b/c Belle and Wise don't know anything about Fairy before she appears, and thinks she's impossible, so probably not Helios. White Star were after Fairy, so probably not white star, otherwise why would they release them. TOPS is probably working with white star to some extent, and they don't even have HDD tech, never mind Fairy tech, so it probably didn't come from them, and they definitely wouldn't "release" fairy and co into the wild, though Fairy was stolen from them. Plus, they have the rosetta data (probably). As for the people who were responsible for the fall of the old capital... that's likely bringer and sarah's group, and they wouldn't "release" Fairy, since they were after Fairy in the first place and behind the Red Fang Gang, so I think it's that one that's only in Chinese
+1 on Tailless. It seems like there hasn't been enough evidence to confirm so. Hoyo should really should have explained this more given this is Miyabi's spotlight and all
My guess is that they are going to use the obol squad faction in the next arc. Sure that faction will have a mayor role, thats why we probably getting the idols faction first before the next arc starts
To clarify in that scene ray is confused why miyabi insists on ending the investigation and miyabi is explaining that she has to report this finding because it might be dealing with things similar to the dark wall and that this is an agreement about procedure that the void hunters have. this does not imply ray is a void hunter since otherwise she would already know this. and also lost void not melinoé hollow.
No, Ray asked for assistance from Miyabi since her current research in the lost void was related to the Dark Wall. And it was Miyabi who forced Ray to halt her investigation as she needed to report their current findings to the rest of the Void Hunters as per their agreement
With respect to the discussion of Fairy, it is funny that because of how she integrates herself so seamlessly into the HDD and the lives of Phaethon people start to just think they’ve always been together.

What Astra did with Snap is no different from hooking up a megaphone to a car's speaker system.

Now here’s a ramble on EARS because the way it works confuses me and Ashikai's comment about the proxy siblings made me think.
We know that Ether Aptitude is a person's tolerance for ether, it's measured on a scale from 0-100, it grows from childhood to adulthood. (When does it stops? Does it naturally decrease with age in normal individuals or is that just people with EARS?)
Back to what Ashikai was saying: "what if the siblings have smth more akin to harumasa when it comes to corruption"

56:31 During the events of Chapter 5, Sarah draws the blade out of its sheath, making the energy to flare out in blue fox-fire, throws it towards a crowd with Miyabi leaping after it, she grabs it and the foxfire turns red. But before she could go Vergil on the innocent people, she was pulled into a Hollow.
Again, she was pulled into a Hollow AFTER the blade was drawn and it flared energy out.
Ashikai! Very nice, she’s awesome!
I think the twins are not human or ethereal variation for a couple reasons
To star professor arche is some kind of ethereal or something else not human and he founded Helios academy so I think he did so with the intention to help people become like him so they can survive in the hallows or the image of him they show is him being their biggest success in turning people into ethereals so they can survive hallows better
Second we assume they are human because they allegedly went through partial corruption but what happened they passed out and their heart stopped but maybe they were beginning to take on their ether form and I’m assuming ethereals don’t have hearts we also saw bringer pass out and disappear as he transformed so who knows what the process would be
Lastly I think it would be super cool if when the siblings became playable it’s because they reveal their ethereal forms and are able to fight in hallows sounds bad ass
I think Belle and Wise are advanced AIs, they are big organic bangboo
I'm just wondering as a
theory when Astra debuts and she is part of the TOPS Alliance could we get a story of the famous singer being kidnapped and Phaethon having to rescue her. Also, I feel like rain may have Yokai and the other AI are in the hands of hackers one of them being White Noise
1:36:37 Wasn't it the White Star Institute who put up the comission to recover the strongbox?
i dont think the siblings can create fissures, its just due to fairy they are extreemly adept at finding them so i guess fairy informed them that it senced bringer presence through a nearby fissure
I do think their "shield" is hollow related phenomenon. Like, hollow is an infinite maze so when the shield is activated (glowing eyes) all matter and energy will take an infinite time and space to reach them. Yes, it's like Gojo's blue infinity lol
I don't think Astra used the same technology as the siblings' implants when she had Snap meet up with Phaethon.
I think the purpose of the implants was to maintain a connection between the Bangboo and the proxy from within a Hollow.
Meanwhile, Snap never entered a Hollow throughout the event so for all we know Astra could've just been talking through Snap from an encrypted phone line that Evelyn begrudgingly set up for her after a month of begging and nagging
2:11:16 That is something that annoys me about Mihoyo; They'd build-up this organization or institute a character belongs to and that it has multiple different sections, and then refuse to elaborate on what each section does or who's their leader.
1:10:52 I assumed it was profesor Arche who narrated the void hunter trailer
The second person said “and the 7th void hunter was….” “Here profesor arche founder of the Helios academy”
It also seems like he was talking to fairy she had different voice but you can change it to your liking like Siri… because fairy in an more advanced version of Siri
And it wouldn’t make sense that grace teacher had access to ghost and youkai also Void hunter has a vast knowledge of hollows even sewing some misinformation to the data base
Their voice seems similar but not exactly the same grace teachers voice seems more rugged like he is at the end of his life
Is Bringer a Ethereal Doppelganger Like Harumasa & Sarah?
I've seen theories about the other AI and hackers, and they are a bit out there with leaps of logic. But I do like the idea that White Noise is Rain or related to Rain. Since rain itself often used as an ambient "white noise" when trying to sleep etc. And they are clearly both Hackers, and White Noise tried to assure us they would save Nicole if Phaethon cooperated, which would make sense if it was Rain and secretly friends with Nicole and had the intention to help Nicole all along. Plus it would be easy for Rain to give the job to Nicole then somehow use Nicole to gain access to Phaethon's network. That said, Rain seems to be a exceptional hacker and White Noise barely competent.
I missed this :( I wanted to ask about the mechanism behind the cursed sword, and how (and when) exactly did Bringer absorb the power of the cursed sword as that's not quite clear to me in the story
1) nullface were able to collect enough data to create a digital miyabi
2) when miyabi was captured Sarah (with help from a glove???) was able to open the scarab and collect the sword data
that's my understanding
@@shibepanic I understand that much that the digital miyabi data was mainly used to replicate Miyabi's fingerprint to unlock the sword from the scabbard. The part I don't understand is the specific mechanism behind the absorption.
Specifically, After the "absorption", the sword still retains its power, so I'm suspecting that it's more of a recreation rather than absorption. But specifically, which characteristics of the cursed sword that Sarah needed to absorb/analyze to recreate it for Bringer? Its energy? Its encoding/transformation that allows it to be sealed and used safely? The particles from the sword emits? The game seems to imply that the cursed sword true nature is similar to that of an Ether, but they never really explain what exactly makes it different from other Ether that require Sarah to conduct this sword-hunting plan.
@@outcastant oh, apologies for my confusion!
afaik the sword literally contains an ethereal (the tailless), my guess is that they took the data and injected it into the serum that bringer took when he transformed, that's why he was able to use the "powaah of the cursed bladeeee" or something. in any case the lore goes deep 😭
Just fyi djinn are middle eastern AND north african so Astra having Egyptian styling still would totally fit as a connection to Jinni.
I don't think the sword has an ethereal in it, or at least it's not confirmed that Tailless is an Ethereal, I don't think? But, I feel the evidence carrier points more towards them being able to take Ethereals out of the Hollows than the sword does. Technically, if the Sacrifice is an etheric being, it should just cease to exist/disintergrate outside the hollow, but they know, regardless of what the Sacrifice is, they CAN take the remains out without risking it disappearing or being distorted (probably)
Edit: In the key terms in the lore video, there's one term that only exists in Chinese, 塞昂 I guess "Scion"? And I feel like it's more possible that they're a part of that unknown faction, b/c Belle and Wise don't know anything about Fairy before she appears, and thinks she's impossible, so probably not Helios. White Star were after Fairy, so probably not white star, otherwise why would they release them. TOPS is probably working with white star to some extent, and they don't even have HDD tech, never mind Fairy tech, so it probably didn't come from them, and they definitely wouldn't "release" fairy and co into the wild, though Fairy was stolen from them. Plus, they have the rosetta data (probably). As for the people who were responsible for the fall of the old capital... that's likely bringer and sarah's group, and they wouldn't "release" Fairy, since they were after Fairy in the first place and behind the Red Fang Gang, so I think it's that one that's only in Chinese
+1 on Tailless. It seems like there hasn't been enough evidence to confirm so. Hoyo should really should have explained this more given this is Miyabi's spotlight and all
Did the Sacrifice from the Old Capital came back to life & escape?
Will TV Mode return in Story in Future Updates?
Peak collab ❤
Will Mockingbird, Razor, Null_Face, The Spiral Flutist, White Noise, Lucius, Mors come back & Team up to hunt down Phaeton?
I need Lucius to come back and have my fully geared Piper shred him into confetti
Will Solider 11 appear in Story Updates?
My guess is that they are going to use the obol squad faction in the next arc. Sure that faction will have a mayor role, thats why we probably getting the idols faction first before the next arc starts
Is Bringer replace by a imposter Ethereal turn Sacrifice & will a Tyrant-like Ethereal come & Hunt down Phaeton?
Will OC Characters from Fanfiction appear in Future Updates?
Wait, isn't Ray a Void Hunter? IF you play the Melinoe thing, there's a conversation between Ray and Miyabi about a deal between Void Hunters
To clarify in that scene ray is confused why miyabi insists on ending the investigation and miyabi is explaining that she has to report this finding because it might be dealing with things similar to the dark wall and that this is an agreement about procedure that the void hunters have. this does not imply ray is a void hunter since otherwise she would already know this.
and also lost void not melinoé hollow.
No, Ray asked for assistance from Miyabi since her current research in the lost void was related to the Dark Wall. And it was Miyabi who forced Ray to halt her investigation as she needed to report their current findings to the rest of the Void Hunters as per their agreement
