Apothecary Residuals

Apothecary Agents

Thousands of seeded Apothecary agents enter host worlds to recruit system AIs and secretly implant selected crawlers through staged mantras.

Story so far

Apothecary residuals wait across Earth with an emergency feed and specialized equipment. Their standing order is to self-deactivate if they miss the dungeon.

For this season, they intend direct crawler contact in the dungeon or through memory-ghost floors. Agents recite a daily message filled with deliberate inaccuracies and half-truths so crawlers can witness it without showrunners killing them.

The performance secretly implants a hidden upgrade whose purpose Agatha does not know but considers dangerous to the Eulogist.

Appearance

Thousands of concealed agents reciting synchronized mantras around hidden upgrade symbols.
