Mission Briefing

ATTENTION RECIPIENT:

Your access to this communication confirms your latent compatibility with trans-dimensional operations. This is not a simulation.We acknowledge receipt of your credentials. The Hoyoverse Bureau of Conservation faces an unprecedented crisis requiring immediate intervention. This briefing circumvents standard recruitment protocols due to catastrophic timeline degradation across multiple sectors.

SITUATION ASSESSMENT:

Three key operatives—TRAVELER, TRAILBLAZER, and PHAETHON—have been displaced from their designated worlds. Their continued misalignment threatens multiple realities with collapse. HBC central command is operating under severe resource constraints due to the nature of this event. Our dimensional tethering capabilities have been compromised. Standard extraction protocols have failed.

YOUR DIRECTIVE:

You are hereby summoned as a provisional Field Agent of the Hoyoverse Bureau of Conservation. Your mission parameters are non-negotiable:- Deploy to HBC base camp to collect prerequisite gear.
- Connect with missing HBC Agents at regional sites to receive the latest information.
- Visit all three compromised locations and collect "IRIS" from local entities.
- Return all "IRIS" to HBC base camp for processing.
- Stand by for final restoration protocol.
Your compliance with this directive is not optional. The structural integrity of multiple worlds depends on successful mission completion.

AUTHORIZATION:

Collaborator #81
Hoyoverse Bureau of Conservation
Emergency Operations Division

HBC Directives

Who is the HBC?

The "Hoyoverse Bureau of Conservation" (HBC) is a subdivision of the greater agency known as the Bureau of Conservation (aliases: "The Bureau", █████ ███), an interdimensional agency charged with the conservation of existence against the forces (some natural, some sentient) that would erode it.

Current Situation

An ongoing rise in interdimensional rifts threatens to destabilize the fabric of reality. The top agents of the HBC of three worlds (Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, and Zenless Zone Zero) were dispatched to mend these rifts. However, due to an incident in which ████████████ ██████████, each of them has been trapped in the wrong world. This is what some in the HBC refer to as "Oh, ████, this is so ███████ bad. We're so ██████"[1].During the desperate initial efforts to retrieve the stranded protagonists, one of the HBC's researchers discovered a new form of energy that has since been dubbed "IRIS". However, due to instabilities with "IRIS", only new agents previously uncontaminated by prior trans-dimensional travel may handle this precious resource.This "IRIS", according to our researchers' current hypotheses, might be the key to recovering these lost protagonists. Collaborator #81 has been dispatched to the field to oversee collection and administer final treatment.

[1] This condition, known as "convergence" [sic], has few known treatments, all of which have limited degrees of efficacy. It should be noted that non-native substances (objects, organisms, etc.), after a long enough period of "convergence", will suffer from ███████████ disintegration. Symptoms include memory loss, progressive sensory loss, and ultimately culminating in permanent cessation of existence.

What is "IRIS"?

"IRIS" is a newly discovered form of energy. It is a tangible manifestation of "meaningful memories", synthesized upon the creation of emotions at the moment a subject feels "moved".Collaborator #81 and ███████ █████ have proposed that sufficient concentrations of "IRIS", extracted from each agent's home worlds, will be able to displace the convergence that afflicts them.

What do we do with the Iris?

Hypothesis: Adequate supply can be harvested from a subject population size of n = █████. Collaborator #81 to confirm.Addendum: Collaborator #81 suggests a music concert "finale" to produce intense concentrations of "IRIS". By increasing the strength of the memories, the potential output strength of the solution may be higher. Approved by Manager ███████ with budget of █████. Reach out to Resourcing Dept. for final arrangements.
