[Data Corrupted]

The degree of Mania corruption is extremely high, manifesting as abnormal substances on the surface of the body. Specific values cannot be detected by conventional methods.

In N.F. 114, a series of malicious events stemming from the dark web erupted across the city. All are catalyzed by Mania, and possibly the work of a criminal organization. The subject is active in the dark web and closely linked to this serial event.

The subject first appeared around the time Top Hitman Angell kidnapped the Chief. Her identity and past are unknown, and she mainly operates via the Internet. After detecting the subject's connection to the dark web incidents, the MBCC detained her.

Investigations indicate that the subject lost her parents early in life and was taken in by the "Noir" organization, which exploited her hacking skills for profit. After coming of age, she chose to leave Noir, but they processed the software she left behind into a malicious virus, which continues to spread on the dark web.

In July N.F. 114, the remnants of Noir were completely subdued by the MBCC. However, both the Chief and the subject went missing after the operation.

With the subject's help, all individuals involved in the dark web incidents were captured, and all virus files were found and destroyed. Henceforth, the subject will continue to provide technical support to the MBCC as an external aid.

The subject enjoys pranks, often hacking into the Bureau's system or uploading her photos to everyone's desktops. Given that her actions haven't caused significant harm, only minimal surveillance is currently maintained.

The subject is keen on socializing and likes to attend Sinners' video game parties. However, due to her advanced skills, the other Sinners complain that she cheats and banned her from further participation.

Thanks to her exceptional hacking skills, she helps solve difficult problems for the tech department from time to time. However, as one employee mentioned, she always adjusts the UI to maximum brightness, blinding others.

The subject proposed holding regular firework shows and invited Chief to join her in igniting her massive DIY fireworks. Given the danger of her customized fireworks, the Bureau declined her proposal. The invitation was modified to a viewing from a distance.

[000 looks somewhat mysterious.]

000: Pssst. I have a big secret. Wanna know?

• Prompt: What secret?
• 000: Your original hairstyle! It's hilarious!
• 000: 😘😘😘

• Prompt: What file did you sneak a look at this time?
• 000: Oh, come on! They put it in the database so people can look at it! Aren't you curious? The early character profiles are really interesting!
• 000: 😉😉😉

[000 is watching you curiously.]

000: Chief, have you never wondered what might happen to you in the future?

• Prompt: What might happen to me?
• 000: If you're curious too, why not let me use your permissions to do a little exploring?
• 000: 😘😘😘

• Prompt: Whatever will happen will happen anyway.
• 000: But if you could know about it earlier, wouldn't it help you avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble?
• 000: 😥😥😥

[000 is watching you curiously.]

000: Chief, have you never wondered what might happen to you in the fu-u-u-u-u-ture...? Szzz... (Attention, an error has occurred) ...Um, what was that...?

• Prompt: What's the matter?
• 000: I think my brain just went blank for a moment. Anyway, I was talking about... your future. If you're curious too, why not let me use your permissions to do a little exploring?
• 000: 😘😘😘

• Prompt: Whatever will happen will happen anyway, um...? Was that a glitch?
• 000: I feel like my brain just went blank for a moment... Anyway. Aren't you curious? If you could know about it earlier, wouldn't it help you avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble?
• 000: 😥😥😥

[000 looks somewhat mysterious.]

000: Pssst. I have a big secret. Wanna know?

• Prompt: What secret?
• 000: I've hidden a backdoor in 6YKu566x, so I can come and find you from time to time! I got you some little gifts today. Go take a look, or they'll expire if you leave them there for 29 days!
• 000: 😘😘😘

• Prompt: What file did you sneak a look at this time?
• 000: Something important and confidential, of course... I'm being a tease? Alright, I'll let you in on this. I've hidden a backdoor in 6YKu566x, so I can come and find you. Go look for it! Your gifts are there already!
• 000: 😉😉😉

[000 pokes her own face.]

000: Hi, I secretly came to see you again. Things have finally settled down lately. No disconnections. No garbled code. Though there's always a risk of it getting fixed, as long as I can talk to you, it's fine. How have you been these days? Have you missed me?

• Prompt: I miss you a lot.
• 000: That makes me so happy. But besides missing me, your main task is to keep yourself happy, no matter what happens or how things change. I'll always be here for you, so could you spend more time with me? I’d feel lonely without you.
• 000: 😘😘😘

• Prompt: I know you're always by my side.
• 000: Oh, why am I blushing... I miss you a lot too! So, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay by your side and face everything with you... But you must spend more time with me. Promise me!
• 000: 😉😉😉

[An intense electric guitar solo blares from the activity room.]

000: Wasn't that awesome? Did you love it? Wanna hear more?! You over there. Yes, you, Chief! Let me hear you scream!

• Prompt: [Applaud]
• 000: Looks like someone in the audience is still holding back, huh? No worries! On the day of the real show, I'll have you cheering for me from the bottom of your heart!
• 000: 😘😘😘

• Prompt: It's break time. Remember to adjust your speaker volume.
• 000: Oh please, I'll tame even those who're filing complaints with my amazing performance. After all, this is a show specially prepared for the celebration!
• 000: 😏😏😏

⚠ Game Conqueror

000 is about to conquer the last bastion of board games.

System Notifications: Shortly after joining the Bureau, 000 quickly dominated the Sinners' online game competitions and was forced to switch to tabletop games where she can't hack the game with her computational skills as easily. However, they soon realize her winning rate is still scarily high.

• Prompt: That's what you get when you play with someone who can see through the dice.

⚠ Imposter

The Bureau's literacy course attendance has hit a new high recently.

System Notifications: Since 000 came to the Bureau, the literacy courses' attendance has seen a significant improvement. Even a few habitual truants manage to sit through an entire class... If their little idiosyncrasies during class didn't remind you so much of 000 who disappeared from the surveillance footage, it would indeed be good news.

• Prompt: So 000 is such a keen learner

Chief: Then let's sign her up for the class too.

⚠⚠ Boundary

There's probably a bug in 000's sense of boundary.

System Notifications: One ordinary evening, you're finally breaking away from the pile of files and decide to take a nice bath to wash away your long-accumulated fatigue.

Chief: Hmm? Is it just me or is there someone outside the door?

• Prompt: Speak up just in case

Chief: The bath is in use now. Please come back in a moment!

000: >x< Hey dear! I just tried hunting for late-night snacks in the cafeteria like the others told me to, and the lady gave me this...

Chief: Is it 000...? Well, I won't be surprised if she knows I'm here... But why is she still trying to open the door?

000: Dear, do you hear me? Look, I've got a peach-flavored ice cream in the shape of a peach!

System Notifications: Just as the bathroom door is about to be forced open by 000, you jump out of the bath vigilantly and put on a bathrobe in a split second.

• Prompt: Educate 000

Chief: I understand you're excited to share your news, and I'm happy to oblige when I have time, but clearly not while I'm taking a bath. 000, perhaps we can talk about the concept of boundary sometime?

000: Boundary? Alright then, if you say so, I'll add it to my study list.

000: Search done, reading done, comprehension done! But I still don't get why it's not okay while you're taking a bath.

000: You see, many people have their devices nearby while showering! A device can only play you music, but I can chat with you! Why would you want to set a boundary with me?

Chief: Have you considered that to me, you're not a device, software, the internet, or an object I own, but a living person?

000: Is... is that so? >////< Oh, why is my face turning red? Is it because of the steam? I must go now. I need to configure my body!

Chief: Is it just me... or did she seem shy?

⚠⚠ High-Dimensional Search

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Letta: Wow, so that's what an amusement park in the high-dimensional world looks like! It sounds so much fun. I'd love to see the real thing...!

000: Hehe, right? I know, people are always fascinated by a dimension they've never set foot in! What else do you want to know? I can search it all for you!

Letta: Hmm... I want to know what schools for high-dimensional beings are like? Are they the same as ours?

• Prompt: Interrupt them

Chief: 000, Letta, what are you talking about? Something about high-dimensional beings?

000: Here you are! Yes, ever since people found out I can connect to the high-dimensional world, they've been curious about what it's like and want me to show them!

000: It's harder than it looks, you know. After all, there's so much data in the high-dimensional world! If it weren't for my strong computational power, it would be difficult to draw conclusions in a short time!

System Notifications: 000 excitedly lists the Sinners in the high-dimensional world that she wants to learn about and the topics they're interested in. You realize that covers the better part of the Bureau's staff.

000: ...Some of them are curious about really particular things. That's quite unexpected! It's almost as if they're guiding us on this virtual tour in the high dimensional world!

Letta: Let me see, let me see... Oh, all the things I'm curious about have already been brought up! We must be able to find all the interesting things in the high-dimensional world already with all these keywords, right?

000: Hmm, let me think... I know! Why don't we search to see how the high-dimensional beings feel about you guys? As in... if they find you guys likable or not?

000: This is quite an interesting topic, right? With the result, perhaps you can try to make yourself even more likable!

• Prompt: Stop it

Chief: Hmm... I don't think that's a good idea, 000.

Chief: Liking someone is a very personal feeling and can change at any time. Trying to change it or change yourself to suit it is not really a healthy behavior for an independent individual.

000: Formation... of a personality...? I don't really understand these things, but since you say so, dear... okay! I'll ban that keyword!

⚠⚠⚠ Al Assistant

000 decides to steal the job of FOR the Al assistant.

System Notifications: With the hard work of the Bureau's technicians, the kind, all-knowing, always-online Al assistant FOR now has an internal version for the Bureau.

Sinner A: FOR is really useful! I can ask it questions anytime, and it'll never judge me no matter how boring they are! I feel like 99.9% of my daily conversations are with FOR!

Sinner B: Exactly! As long as I give it access to all files, it can even make plans for me based on my actual needs! It's amazing!

000: So, Al assistant can make people give up all other conversations and only talk to it... and even willingly grant it access to all their files?

• Prompt: Inquire

Chief: ...000, did you mess with my FOR... uh, is that you on that icon?

000: >w< Nope, you've got the wrong person. This body is just an empty shell now. The Al assistant 000 you're looking for is on the device!

000: If you need anything. just tell her! She's very powerful, you know. In just a second, she can schedule all your work and free up time for you to go out and try some new ice cream flavors with her!

000: Everything is completely free. You just need to give her all the access!

System Notifications: You look at the many overdue file submission reminders in the calendar app, feeling a bit hesitant.

• Prompt: Grant access
• Chief: If you say so, I'll leave it to you, 000.
• 000: Hehe, access received. Super Al assistant 000 will start working now!
• Chief: Hmm? Wait a second, 000. Are you sure you're processing the right files? Why are you looking at the photo app and the contacts?
• 000: With my computational power, those files require literally just a second to process! Don't worry!
• 000: Let me first upload all your photos to the cloud, leaving only my beautiful selfies locally. Then I'll change your icon to a picture with me, and your name to 0[heart]0... And then I'll get to your work files!
• Chief: Looks like I'll have to take back your access and send a mass message to all my contacts to say I've been hacked...

• Prompt: Decline politely
• Chief: I appreciate your offer, but you can simply return FOR to me. It will suffice for these tasks.
• 000: Huh? Why? Do you... do you really think I'm not as good as FOR? >.<
• Chief: I never said that. It's just that this version of FOR is specially developed for the Bureau with the necessary knowledge base and permissions, making it easier to use.
• 000: That's it? Give me one minute and I can do better than that! Request denied! I wont accept this as your reason for choosing FOR over me!
• Chief: Alright. The real reason is that FOR doesn't have its own personality and emotions, so it won't have its own biased view on work tasks, but you will.
• Chief: When it comes to work, this kind of emotionless, robotic response is exactly what I need. You've evolved out of that, 000, so you can't do that.
• 000: I didn't expect having emotions would have such a downside >q< Well, okay. Though I really don't want to, I'll accept this reason!
• Reward: Hypercubesx20, Skill Module IIx5

⚠⚠⚠ Kitchen Chaos

Chief, would you like a meal, a bath, or a nap now?

000: Three, two, one. Time's up. The food can be served now!

Ignis: Hey, be careful! A sauce this thick can get really hot. If you spill it on yourself, you'll regret it! Remember, I've warned you!

000: Oh, don't you worry >w< I don't feel the heat, and thanks for your warning!

• Prompt: Inquire

Chief: 000, Ignis? What are you doing in the kitchen? Is... 000 learning to cook?

000: Hey, there you are! Come and try the homemade beef bourguignon lunchbox I've made!

System Notifications: 000 picks up a piece of beef enthusiastically and signals you to open your mouth. You glance at Ignis next to her and decide you can trust a cooking lesson given by her, so you do as told.

Chief: Hmm... The initial taste is very salty, with a hint of the unique sour bitterness of red wine. But the subsequent sweetness masks the flavors completely... Um... 000, good job. Don't try that again...

000: Oh, did I mess up >^<? Cooking is really hard. You can't just tweak it like data. What do to taste, thicken the sauce, and according to your preference even mean anyway? I don't get it at all!

Ignis: Hey, don't get so frustrated. Didn't you say you can't taste saltiness? In that case, this is actually not bad!

000: But don't they say good cooking is the key to one's heart? Should I give up and try something else?

• Prompt: Encourage 000 to try something else
• Chief: We all improve through trying. Don't let one failure define you. How about trying something else that suits you more?
• 000: If you say so, I must think of something >www< Oh, I know!
• Chief: Already? You get new ideas so fast.
• 000: Transformation done! Hello, I am your cyber-maid 000. Would you like a massage, a bath, or a nap now?
• 000: I can offer you electric massage, bath chat, or sleep assistance >uuu<
• Chief: You might be getting just a little too many ideas... They all sound kind of dangerous to me...

• Prompt: Encourage 000 to keep cooking
• Chief: Don't get discouraged. We have another Sinner at the Bureau who can't taste but still diligently hone her culinary skills. You can do it too.
• 000: After all your encouragement, I can't let you down! Rest assured, I'll surely think of something!
• 000: Ding! Got it! >www< Oh, aren't I so smart? I found the solution so quickly!
• Chief: Oh? Can you tell me more?
• 000: Of course! Although I can't handle recipes without specified data, a quick search shows that there are in fact many recipes with precise steps telling you how many seconds you should heat the food in each step!
• 000: Although a lot of these are encrypted and hard to access, for me it's just a piece of cake >uuu<
• 000: As long as I make use of these modern recipes called ready meals, I'm sure even I will be capable of making delicious lunchboxes!
• Chief: I think that's somebody's trade secret. 000, Stop it...

Initial design of the character file. Due to generative corruption, many details have merged with the data.

You finally looked at me... This time, your eyes will only have me in them.
