Detection Equipment

During the Hollow No. 0 assessment, Eous carried a reactor that detected escalating activity before a powerful Remnant appeared.

• The reactor emitted warning signals as the team entered a spatial rift. 54
• Its readings prompted the examiner to hide Eous underground when the threat became apparent. 54

Background / History

Eous had previously been nearly destroyed in an explosion, but recovered before Phaethon’s collaboration with Fu Hua and Cuiji. 11

During that commission, Belle connected to Eous and used it as Phaethon’s field body. Eous accompanied Fu Hua and Cuiji into the Hollow, where the pair protected it while advancing past military personnel and Remnants. 12 13

Eous later joined Nicole’s operation to recover her employees and an insurance safe. Belle linked with Eous from outside the Hollow and discovered the Herrscher of Reason, Anby, and Billy inexplicably relaxing under the protection of Remnants. 40

In Hollow No. 0, Eous guided an assessment group until its reactor detected an extreme threat. The resulting appearance of the giant Remnant Niniwe forced the examiner to take Eous into cover while Hoshimi Miyabi engaged the creature. 54
