Following the previous Umbra Protocol operation, several Black Boxes were recovered and delivered to Blackshore for research.
Researcher Luuk Heersen and his team have determined that the crystals contained within these boxes are capable of functioning as spell catalysts and magical containment.
Blackshore and Pale Severance are now working together to further understand the crystals and their possible applications.
However, their current working theory is concerning:
These crystals may become extremely dangerous if used for malicious purposes.
Meanwhile, surviving enemy forces have been detected around the eastern camps.
You are to locate these camps, deal with any remaining operatives, and determine what they are attempting to accomplish.
This mission is considered of the utmost priority and requires total completion.

Research conducted by:
Blackshore — Luuk Heersen
“We know what the crystals can do. We still don't know what they were meant to do.”
Following examination of the recovered Black Boxes, Luuk Heersen and the Blackshore research team confirmed that the crystals possess properties capable of acting as spell catalysts and forms of magical containment.
Further research is currently being conducted alongside Pale Severance.
Current Working Theory:
The crystals present a significant danger if utilized for malicious purposes.

Interrogation conducted by:
Pale Severance — Veyn von Velmir
The captured operatives were heavily restricted by a curse, severely limiting conventional interrogation.
The investigation ultimately required drastic measures, including the manipulation of the dead, to recover information that could not be obtained from the living.
“The living gave us nothing. So we asked the dead.”
Despite the circumstances, several pieces of information were recovered.
The remaining operatives are believed to be heading toward Zenith Beacon Village.
Their exact intention remains unknown. They may be attempting to enter the village or meet someone around its outskirts.
Assuming YESIL activity remains ongoing, the current working theory is that these operatives may be attempting to establish contact with YESIL enemy forces.
