Event Story
A week before the Annual Linkon City Charity Gala takes place, the event's Special Guest suddenly vanishes during dress rehearsal. The Gala Director has requested an investigation, and you've been dispatched as part of the mission team!As part of your investigation, you must go undercover at the formal Gala to look into reports of Metaflux Anomalies occurring nearby, and search for clues surrounding the Special Guest's disappearance.It just so happens that this Gala is also an important occasion for your partner, who sent you a special invitation a few weeks prior asking you to accompany him to the event.A few days before the Gala opens, you receive intel that Ever is becoming strangely active near the Gala venue. It seems like they're participating in some kind of underground auction hosted by major N109 players...Somehow, everything seems to be converging on this specific place, and time is quickly running out.Dressed to the nines, you hike up your skirts and roll up your sleeves to try to figure out what's going on.What is causing these strange fluctuations?Why would someone try to sabotage this event?What has both Ever and N109 in a frenzy?Why would black market dealers hold an auction so close to Linkon City?Where did the Special Guest vanish to, and who can you lean on for help?...Dear Hunters, check back regularly for more information!
