Topple Town

**​Topple** **​Town** is where the adventure begins. As it is the starter town, the majority of the shops there contain rather low-tier items, but there are stores of note in the area, such as the ranged weapon shop and the gnome's magic school. That aside, this town has the cheapest houses for rent, which is ideal for those who don't have much gold.

Topple Town rests upon Topple Hill, and is right next to Topple Lake, as well as the Ancient Forest. The Pearl Flower and the Portabato Mushroom often spawn inside this town and, if you're lucky, you might just find a Nightmare Mushroom.
Town of Right and Wrong

**​The Town of Right and Wrong**​is a town East of Topple Town. The town is full of wacky vendors, though they can be quite expensive. There isn't much to find here besides a few Yellow Balloon Mushrooms here and there.

Sun flowers and Moon flowers can be found in a farm just outside the gates which are worth 2000g each. Since they are relatively valuable and spawn often, they are commonly farmed by players for quick cash.

Waveman

**Waveman** is the fan name for a character in Alis Pastry.

## History

Waveman first appeared in ECKVA11, during the Alis Pastry segment "QUIETBUG COMES HOME". In it, they're waiting outside of a cartoon representation of the abandoned house, waving as Quietbug begins to approach them. Quietbug continues to approach them until the screen suddenly glitches, showing the Doctor for a few frames.

Waveman does not have any other confirmed appearances, but they may have appeared in ECKVA15 and ECKVA17. ECKVA15 shows a series of unidentified individuals as they become extremely malformed, with strange growths coming out of them; one of them may be Waveman, or they may represent the same thing as Waveman. ECKVA17 shows a person kneel down and unscrew Quietbug, which may be Waveman; however, the person does not share many features with Waveman outside of being a person, and doesn't share consistent details seen on Waveman like the mark on their head.

## Theories

It is theorized that Waveman represents the Interference. Waveman is seen beckoning Quietbug to the abandoned house; meanwhile, the Interference lured SHawkins deeper through the abandoned house. Waveman also has a strange mark on the side of their head, which is shown in multiple angles; this may match with BLOT being implanted into the Interference, as it appears to be some sort of device or parasite that lives in the brain.
Cockfighting Cockerel

## Quirk Abilities

Gives the User several traits of a cockerel, with all the benefits and negatives of those traits. This is not a female hen, nor is this a simple rooster, this is a fighting cock. They have traits that are bred into them to make them efficient fighting machines, despite their Galliform limitations.

-Muscular Change: As a fighting cock, their muscles are formed densely around the legs and chest. Giving them immense kicking and striking force, this also deforms their bodies to compensate. +1 stat grades Power on ALL kicking techniques, even free-form.

-Cheeky Beaky: Quirk holders grow a sharp beak, though they can still speak normally.

-Feathery Friend: Forms feathers on the upper body to allow for short distance flight and long distance gliding.

-Scaly Legs and Arms: To protect their legs and arms, this quirk forms scaly plates of keratin like those on a chicken's legs. (Plated Natural Leg Armor -1 Letter Grade under Control)

-Talons: On the hands and feet grow thick sharp talons, capable of tearing and cutting. +1 stat grades power when cutting or tearing (can stack with kicking)

## Quirk Limitations

-Cockerels are prone to being easily hypnotized and manipulated.

-If it's dark, the quirk holder immediately becomes drowsy and will quickly fall into a deep sleep until the sun comes back up. Or if light is returned.

-Screaming! When they're excited, afraid or angry they scream. As well, they scream when the sun comes up, it's uncontrollable.

-Hyper-aggression. As a fighting bird, they're quick to jump to aggressive responses instead of rational responses.

-Limit Break: -2 stamina upon exceeding limitations.
Chris Galloway

**Chris Galloway** is a minor character in ECKVA. He worked at ECKVA Network as the Mezzanine team lead, and was the owner of Galloway Games.

## History

Chris Galloway worked as part of the IT team for ECKVA Network; he was specifically part of the Mezzanine team as the lead developer, and was the one responsible for fielding any issues related to Mezzanine Messenger or Mezzanine Manager.

He was also the owner of Galloway Games, through which he created the game Louse. The game portrayed multiple metaphorical examples of information that was seemingly classified at ECKVA; it is unknown what involvement they had in its production or potential release. Due to TV Spot C, it appeared that Louse was nearing release, but it is unknown if it ever released.

While he was the owner of Galloway Games, he invited Andrew Raymond to talk to his team there. It is unknown if this was in relation to Louse or a different project.

As of now, his fate is unclear.
Elizabeth Steiner

**Elizabeth "Liz" Steiner** is a minor character in ECKVA.

## History

Elizabeth Steiner was an animator that worked at Two Quarter Media in Los Angeles, California, and was the lead animator of Alice's Bakery, a show being created with the help of ECKVA Network. After an undetermined amount of time, she went missing in Georgia while visiting family there for undisclosed reasons. A tip was given to her family, but it led to an abandoned property with nothing in the immediate area. Her current whereabouts and status is unknown.

## Theories

Due to the nature of her disappearance and the connection between her disappearance and an abandoned property, it has been theorized that she was blotted. If this is the case, then it is possible that she was turned into The Interference.
Given that the abandoned property her family searched was located in Georgia, it is possible that it was the house SHawkins inherited.

Andy Augercat

**Andy Augercat** is a recurring character in Alis Pastry.

## History

Andy Augercat was first introduced in ECKVA19. The very beginning picks up where ECKVA18 left off, showing a media player that was playing a video of someone driving a car; however, it froze, and ARKlistener began to glitch over it. During a frame of its glitching, the glitched face of Andy can be seen.

Later in the episode, a segment dedicated to Andy was shown. It began with a security camera recording a road that went over a tunnel, with an indescernable face in the tunnel. The face disappeared, and it then cut to a person on grass in front of a glitching background. Andy appeared after a moment, heavily glitching before stabilizing; it then zoomed in on his face as it began to glitch heavily, with the glitch seemingly spreading to the man, before a hole appeared in his head. It then showed a red face with a wide smile as what was seemingly inside the hole.

## Theories

Given that Andy is a nickname for Andrew, it is possible that Andy and Andrew Raymond are related in some way, or that Andy represents Andrew Raymond in the Alis Pastry cartoons.

Andy Augercat is first seen glitching over ARKlistener, seemingly as it froze and broke down; this could be seen as being representative of ARKlistener crashing before being accessed by the hacker that installed Louse. If this is the case, then it's possible that Andy is meant to represent the hacker; if the prior theory of Andy being Andrew is also true, then it is possible that Andrew Raymond is the hacker that accessed ARKlistener to install Louse. This would match with Andrew seemingly having met Galloway Games' people, along with Andrew being a software technician at ECKVA Network that had previously worked with the system.

An auger is a tool meant to be used for boring holes in wood. After Andy Augercat's face begins to distort, a hole can be seen growing on the man's face as his face begins to distort as well. There's then a face that is seemingly seen in the hole. It is possible that Andy Augercat's name is in reference to the device, in which case it might indicate that whoever Andy represents is responsible for the red face existing or being exposed. In ECKVA19, SHawkins is chased by an unseen entity from the basement; as they're being chased, the entity makes a sound similar to the red face in the animation. This might suggest a link between a two, and may suggest that whoever Andy Augernat represents is responsible for that entity existing, or being there with SHawkins.

Shelby Hawkins

**Shelby Hawkins** is a minor character in ECKVA.

## History

Shelby Hawkins was hired by ECKVA Network to help Andrew Raymond with his work on the archive team. After he was brought on to help with an additional side project, he noticed his efficacy ratings going down, and requested that Shelby be added to the team. After interviewing with Danielle Scott, who was impressed by them in the interview, they were officially hired by ECKVA Network.

While working at ECKVA, they proved to be an efficient worker, at one point archiving 407 items in just under 10 hours. When they were nearly finished with their batch queue, they emailed Danielle about any further assignments; however, they received no response, and instead turned to Andrew, who assigned them a randomly generated batch. While working on the batch, they found information pertaining to ARKlistener, and contacted Andrew about it. He feigned ignorance, and suggested that they bring it up to Danielle. After doing so, she reached back out to Shelby, telling them that there was a project she and Andrew were working on that they could help with. This email also contained broken, unintelligible writing.

Some time after that, Shelby asked Andrew if he had any luck with ARKlistener; however, he gave an erratic response, saying that something was crawling in his brain, and asking them if they knew where the brightest light was.

As of now, their fate is unclear.

## Theories

The main protagonist of ECKVA, SHawkins, is given the username SHawkins1926, while Shelby is given the username SHawkins1928. This indicates that they are not the same person, but are potentially related, as they share the same surname. A possibility is that Shelby is an older relative of SHawkins1926, as they inherited a house from somebody. Given that the house already has a connection to ECKVA, it is possible that SHawkins1926 inherited the house from Shelby, who may have either used the house for something related to ECKVA, or had it appropriated by ECKVA while Shelby was employed. There is also a theory that Shelby is SHawkins1926, and that they simply switched the number for some unknown reason.

Mezzanine Messenger

**Mezzanine Messenger** is a messaging and data management program used by ECKVA Network for their archive team.

## Summary

Mezzanine Messenger is comprised of three programs: Mezzanine Messenger, Mezzanine Manager, and Mezzanine Alpha. It is currently assumed that Alpha is an outdated program, while Andrew Raymond noted that Messenger and Manager were both the same system.

The system has multiple functions. One of them is to function as an in-house messaging service between different employees. Another is to automatically log all activity recorded from the archive team, including producing batch reports of number of items archived, while producing logs of activity for ARKlistener. It is also possible that the ECKVA operating terminal, seen in ECKVA6, is only accessible through Mezzanine. It is unknown what other functionality it may have.

## History

The development team behind Mezzanine is currently unknown. Danielle Scott, in her email to Andrew, indicated that the original development team was all gone. Whether they quit, were fired, retired, or something else happened to them is unknown. It is also unknown whether it was developed by ECKVA Network, or if it was developed by Clear Lakes Communications and was only used once ECKVA acquired the company. It is known, however, that ARKlistener was developed off of Mezzanine Alpha, and can only be accessed through there.

The Mezzanine team lead at ECKVA was Chris Galloway.

In ECKVA16, the Broadcaster is seen accessing Mezzanine Messenger to pull up a conversation between Andrew and Shelby Hawkins. After reading key information from their conversation, the system was purged, presumably deleting all other chat logs that were stored in the system.
Alice's Bakery

**Alice's Bakery** was a children's show that ECKVA Network was working on in affiliation with Two Quarter Media. Its name was never revealed to the public and it was ultimately cancelled, possibly due to lead animator Elizabeth Steiner going missing or ECKVA shutting down. Alis Pastry is a heavily corrupted version of it used by The Broadcaster in the broadcasts.
Quietbug

**Quietbug** is a recurring character in Alis Pastry.

## History

Quietbug first appears in ECKVA11, during the segment "QUIETBUG COMES HOME". It shows Quietbug walking a cartoon representation of the abandoned house as Waveman waves to them; after coming close to them, the screen heavily distorts, with a few frames of the Doctor's face becoming visible. Later, after Alis freaks out with a distortion television, Quietbug's face can be seen faintly overlaid over a cartoon representation of ARKlistener looking through a window, before cutting to Alis leaving the house through a door.

Their next appearance is in ECKVA13, during the Alis Pastry segment "QUIETBUG AND THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT". The episode shows Quietbug swimming through a blue and purple void; while there, they come across the brightest light. They reach up a hand that's wearing a blue latex glove to touch it; as they do, the glove is taken off of their hand, revealing a glowing hand underneath it. It then switches to focusing on their face, which cracks in half, revealing a picture of a human face below.

After that, they appear in ECKVA14, during an unnamed Alis Pastry segment. It shows Quietbug facing another version of themself in an abstract void. As the two stand there, the one on the right opens their eyes, blinking once, before it cuts to the next segment.

Quietbug's next appearance was in ECKVA17, during another unnamed Alis Pastry segment. Boxface appears after the ECKVA Network logo, which then fades to reveal Quietbug with a man standing next to them. The man reaches down and grabs them, twisting the top of their head off to reveal a distorted shadow with glowing white eyes inside of them, which is very reminiscent of Bright Eyes.

They return in ECKVA19. After ARKlistener glitches out and there's a system error, a deflated Quietbug is seen in the middle of a bright late. Later, after SHawkins is shown with their static hands, the same Quietbug is seen broken open, with something red inside of them; there's also a second Quietbug beside them, which appears to not have any harm done to them.

## Theories

It is widely believed that Quietbug is representative of SHawkins. Their first appearance shows them approaching the abandoned house, with it being called their home; this reflects SHawkins having inherited the house. They are also shown wearing a piece of clothing with a black sleeve, along with latex gloves, which is the only outfit SHawkins has been shown in.
ARKlistener

**ARKlistener** (also spelled **Arklistener** or **arklistener)** is a computer program that was developed by Clear Lakes Communications and then later ECKVA Network after they bought CLC. The number 452 is frequently associated with it.

## History

ARKlistener was a highly secretive project within both CLC and ECKVA and little is known about its original development process. After ECKVA's buyout of CLC, they began a process of digitizing all old CLC files. Three old workstations, with only one of them still functioning, were discovered in a basement storage room . Archive department head, Danielle Scott, assigned Andrew Raymond to archive all files found on it. He was able to login with the assistance of IT tech Chris Galloway and soon discovered ARKlistener and its related files. While initially he worked with Danielle to archive everything found, eventually Danielle's attitude changed and she started to get angry at Andrew for looking at ARKlistener, currently believed to be because she was infected with Blot. Soon new employee, Shelby Hawkins, discovered ARKlistener as well while archiving files and contacted Raymond about it, for currently unknown reasons he pretended to not know about it and tell Shelby to ask Danielle about it despite him knowing her increasingly erratic behavior and that she probably would not want Shelby knowing about the program. The workstation with ARKlistener on it was then presumably abandoned when ECKVA shut down.

Once The Broadcaster became active, he began using it and slowly updating it to the latest version by looking through the ECKVA archives. At some point, they set the secondary input to SHawkins1926' Twitter account. In 2020, the program crashed and since there was no response from the primary input (The Broadcaster), control was given over to the SHawkins Twitter. Through a series of polls, ARKlistener was rebooted and the database was retrieved and then dumped onto the eckva.net website. Soon after, unauthorized access was detected. The audience voted to let this unknown user in and they promptly installed Louse.

## Function

The full extent of ARKlistener's purpose is not yet known but so far it has been seen to create and send broadcasts, track and control sources, and to create map scans of locations.
Boxface

**Boxface** is the fan name for a character in Alis Pastry.

## History

Boxface first appeared in ECKVA17 after the ECKVA Network logo during an unnamed Alis Pastry segment. It stayed in place for a minute before the camera zoomed in on it and it began to fade, revealing Quietbug.

It appeared again in ECKVA18 during the segment "ALIS PASTRY GETS BETTER". It briefly appeared after the title card inside of the abandoned house, where SHawkins television normally sat. It later appeared after a distorted current conditions title card, where a very tall Alis broke through the ceiling of the abandoned house, carrying it away as a bright light rapidly moved in the background.

## Theories

It is widely believed that Boxface is meant to represent the broadcasts themselves; it is shown directly after the ECKVA Network logo, and when it's zoomed in on it fades to reveal Quietbug, who represents SHawkins, the current focus on the broadcasts. It also took the place of the television setup in the abandoned house, while being taken away by Alis as the broadcast began to migrate, furthering the connection between Boxface and the broadcasts themselves.
The Creator

**The Creator** is a minor character in Louse.

## History

There is currently not much known about The Creator. When fighting The Bones of Rot, Null began to experience what appeared to be a flashback. During this flashback, Null recounts that the society they were living in was collapsing, with countless people living in despair as disease spread and the people simply groveled for more, while The Creator did not care.

As this happened, Pilgrim Mite emerged from below to deliver a message, saying that The Creator had abandoned their world, and that they must forever toil upon it as the single gift that The Creator had given them, as the voices below demand. The people left readily accepted this, choosing to pray to the ground itself as they dismantled mountains to build their cities and did what the voices below commanded.

The fate of The Creator is currently unknown.
Jeremy Whalen

**Jeremy Whalen** is a minor character in ECKVA. He was a former employee of Clear Lakes Communications, working at the Clear Lakes 44 affiliate station as a network technician. He later sued them, claiming to have suffered multiple instances of mental and physical trauma.

## History

Jeremy Whalen was a network technician that worked at the Clear Lakes 44 station. While working there, he alleged to have experienced a hostile work environment and unlawful business practices. In the final months of CLC's operation, he attempted to sue them for the hostile work environment, claiming that it led to multiple instances of mental and physical trauma, although no details were ever released about this. Fred Mendez, his lawyer, spoke to the press and said that he believed they had a very strong case, as CLC had knowingly allowed Clear Lakes 44 to engage in unlawful practices.

However, despite Fred's confidence, the case was ultimately thrown out of court after Jeremy's poor mental state was corroborated by multiple witnesses. Fred, speaking with the press, called the decision an absolute disgrace, as Jeremy's declining health was directly caused by CLC's poor work environment. He then confirmed that the two intended to keep fighting until the case was made clear. The case was thrown out of court a year after CLC was purchased and absorbed by ECKVA Network.

As of now, his fate is unknown.

## Theories

Some have theorized that Jeremy Whalen is intended to be Birdwatcher. The two have some similarities; both presumably worked at Clear Lakes 44 at some point in their history, and both experienced mental and physical trauma. Although it is not known what Jeremy had, it is seen in CL44 that Birdwatcher has some sort of a sleeping disorder and cannot put weight on one of his legs. Birdwatcher is also at the periphery of an investigation that was being performed, although what the investigation was has never been specified.
The Skull

**The Skull** is an antagonist in Louse. It's the Rot-possessed skull of the Old Friend.

## History

Soon after Null entered Rot and accepted the Face of Rot's gift, they felt a hand dragging them down. When they looked down, they saw that it was the hand of the rotted Old Friend; the blot intervened and decapitated the Old Friend, and the pair slid out into the caverns of rot. While there, Null listened as the decapitated head of the Old Friend whispered to them to give in to the rot, before a blinding flash of light burnt an image of rot in their eyes as the head liquefied.

Later, after Null killed the Bones of Rot in the pit of bones, they collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. When they looked to the wall, they saw that the Old Friend's skull was among the bones surrounding them. The Skull whispered to them, offering to help; when they extended a hand to pull it out, the Skull surprisingly bit down. When Null pulled their hand back, they saw that burning rot was beginning to spread up their arm.

At that point, Null prepared to amputate their arm; however, Turmoil intervened, and offered to make a connection to the rot in their arm so they could control it. They accepted, but were warned that it would take a moment. As they waited, the Skull lunged at Null multiple times, with them just barely managing to get out of the way.

After dodging the Skull, Null suddenly regained control of their right arm, as Turmoil successfully built a connection to their arm. Following this, they informed Null that they wished to spread, which they chose to allow. As such, they spread up the old flesh connecting The Skull to Rot, before spreading onto The Skull itself, killing it as they used it as their own remote avatar. Following the death of The Heart of Rot, Turmoil vacated The Skull, leaving it no longer animated as it fell to the ground.

The Skull is deceased.

WHEN WAS THIS?
Galloway Games

**Galloway Games** was a video game development studio that created Louse. They were owned by Chris Galloway.

## History

Galloway Games was started while ECKVA Network was still around. One of the games they developed, and potentially the only game they developed, was Louse. The game portrayed many metaphorical extrapolations of what appeared to be classified information in ECKVA; it is unknown what involved ECKVA may have had in its development or release. TV Spot C implied that Louse was close to release, but is is unknown if it was ever fully released.

At some point, Chris invited Andrew Raymond to speak to his team at the studio. It is unknown what his involvement is with Louse or the studio in general.

It is unknown if Galloway Games is still an active company or not.
Walker

**Walker** was an antagonist in Clear Lakes 44. They are a BLOT source, and appeared to hunt Birdwatcher.

## History

Very little is known about Walker's history. They first appeared in Broadcast #3, where a brief clip of them stealing a can of food from a store was seen. They appeared again in Broadcast #5, running down a street; they later disappeared from view, seemingly teleporting inside of a person's home. They tore open the can of food they stole to eat, but were soon interrupted by the front door being unlocked and opened. When they heard it, they turned around to reveal that they had video distortion for a face. They then ran from the door as it opened.

Broadcast #8 picked up immediately where Broadcast #5 left off, with the owner of the house wary of a potential intruder due to the leftover can of food. Walker was hiding in a closet, watching him, with the camera perspective occasionally showing what their eyes saw. When the man approached it, they were not there, teleporting away. They then charged at the man, making him disappear as they sat on the couch, then stood up to leave the house.

Broadcast #9 had clips interspersed throughout it of a person's point of view as they walked to a streetlight. It is unknown if this was meant to be Walker or not.

Broadcast #10 showed Walker's point of view as he stalked Birdwatcher from outside his home, watching him pick up a prescription that was dropped at his front door. As Birdwatcher took the sleeping pill and fell asleep, Walker teleported inside of the house, and attempted to attack him in the same way they attacked the man they previously attacked; however, they were unable to, and instead woke Birdwatcher up. Birdwatcher, seemingly recognizing them, grew angry and chased them away with his cane, forcing Walker to hide in a closet and teleport away. Birdwatcher then brought a chair to the closet door to stand watch, before passing back out.

In Broadcast #12, Birdwatcher awoke when the TV began to play a loud noise after turning it on. When he found it, it was displaying static with the message "are you awake" on it. Touching the screen, Birdwatcher collapsed to the ground as Walker approached him, before leaning down to grab him.

As of right now, Walker's fate is currently unknown.

## Theories

Walker, despite having the same static skin affliction other BLOT sources have, acts differently from the others. Although they have the same ability to seemingly teleport that Bright Eyes and the Interference had, they also act like a human at times, such as when they stole food and broke into a person's house to eat it. They also wear clothes and have full control of both hands, while the others do not; it is unknown why Walker has this distinction, although it has been theorized that it is due to the static not fully taking control of them yet.

As Walker is a BLOT source, it is possible that their true identity is Andrew Raymond, Liz Steiner, or Danielle Scott. However, this has not been confirmed.
Clear Lakes 44 (webseries)

**Clear Lakes 44** was a webseries that ran from February 14th, 2015 to April 10th, 2016. It was intended to be the follow-up to Marble Hornets, being set in the same universe while featuring divergent characters, storylines, and concepts. It was prematurely canceled due to creative differences and behind the scenes difficulties after the release of 13 videos.

The videos were uploaded onto the Marble Hornets channel, and it also featured heavy ARG elements in the form of a website and an email that could be directly communicated with. Following its cancellation, it was deemed non-canon and rebooted as ECKVA. The series can be viewed here.

## History

Clear lakes 44 was first teased on February 14th, 2015.

## Plot

The plot of Clear Lakes 44 is still not fully understood, as the series is non-linear, followed two distinct characters, and was prematurely cancelled. As such, this plot outline only details what is known about the series, and is not a comprehensive explanation for everything that was seen.

The first character the series follows is Birdwatcher, who suffered from narcolepsy and agoraphobia, choosing to remain in his apartment all day.

The second character the series follows is Walker, who is a mysterious person with a face that appears as static on camera.

## Trivia

* Clear Lakes 44 was initially thought to still be canon, but a FAQ released by Troy Wagner revealed that he considered it non-canon due to the inaccessibility of it. However, he expressed interest in reworking the story at some point in the future.
The Spread of Rot

**The Spread of Rot** is a minor antagonist in Louse. It is a growth of Rot, and wears a mitestone mask.

## History

The Spread of Rot was created as one of several growths of Rot, patrolling the tunnels within it to catch any enemies of Rot that may have been found. It appears to have been attached to the wall in the tunnel leading to the Heart of Rot, and would peel off to attack anyone traveling to it.

When Null, the main protagonist of Louse, finished nullifying the Brain of Rot and traveled to the Heart, they heard the Spread peel from the ceiling behind them and began to speak with very slurred speech, indicating its intense hatred of Null and its desire to devour them. Rather than choosing to confront it, they instead ran forward, leading to them falling into the pit of bones, where the Bones of Rot rested.

Following the nullification of the Bones and the Heart, and the subsequent beginning of the decay of the old growth at the hands of Turmoil, Null climbed out of the pit of bones to return to Turmoil. On the way, they passed by the decaying Spread, which looked as if its skin was falling off of it. It once again spoke in a slurred speech, saying that it wished for Null to choke and die and that it would devour them soon. Null chose to leave it to its fate, going back up the tunnels of Rot as the Spread died.

The Spread of Rot is deceased.

The Bones of Rot

**The Bones of Rot** is a major antagonist in Louse. It is one of the main parts of Rot.

## History

The Bones of Rot is one of the main parts of Rot, presumably existing for as long as Rot itself. It rests within the pit of bones, which is deep in the tunnels of Rot.

The Bones were first mentioned when Turmoil and Null reached a crossroads while traversing through Rot. Turmoil explained to Null that the tunnel to the left led to the Bones and the Heart of Rot, while the tunnel to the right led to the Face of Rot and the Brain of Rot. After a moment of indecision, Null ultimately chose to travel up to the Face and the Brain first.

After Null nullified the Face and Brain and left Turmoil in the Brain's shell, they traveled back down through Rot until they came across the same crossroads as before. While walking through the tunnels that led deeper into Rot, they heard a sickly peeling behind them as something fell to the ground. This unidentified figure stated that they knew Null was coming, and that they wanted to devour their ugly form. Rather than turn to face it, Null decided to run, breaking into a sprint until they came across a pit that they collapsed into.

They landed on the wet ground, blood filling their mouth, as a voice spoke from the darkness. The voice expressed mocking surprise at Null's unwillingness to fight after having proven to be so bloodthirsty up until now. Null's arm was then grabbed by the sharp claws of the Bones as they told Null to give themself to the pit of bones.

Rather than give in, Null chose to call to Turmoil, speaking to them within the Brain of Rot. In order to assist them, Turmoil made a new connection to the pit of bones, allowing light to spill in and reveal the Bones of Rot, who greeted Null as a little coward.

Reacting quickly, Null chose to take their large shard and stab into the arm that was holding them up. Furious, the Bones screeched and swung its tail for their head; they just barely managed to duck in time, avoiding decapitation, but as a result got their right arm cut off. Gloating, the Bones said that it would remove Null's bones one by one; however, as it spoke, the blot informed Null that they were close to ending rot, so it would intervene. It then left Null's eye and reformed itself into an extra arm to replace the one Null just lost.

Surprised by this development, the Bones attempted to stab at Null again; however, they were able to catch its tail with the blot's arm. They were then able to rip off it's tail and stab through the Bones' mouth with it, disabling it enough to retrieve the large shard. Using the large shard, Null tore apart the Bones until it was nothing but a pile of flesh and gore.

The Bones of Rot is deceased.
Verificacion de Control de Acceso

El control de acceso consiste en la verificación de si una entidad (una persona, vehículo, ordenador, etc...) solicitando acceso a un recurso tiene los derechos necesarios para hacerlo.

Un control de acceso ofrece la posibilidad de acceder a recursos físicos (por ejemplo, a un edificio, a un local, a un país) o lógicos (por ejemplo, a un sistema operativo o a una aplicación informática específica).

==

El control de acceso generalmente incluye tres componentes ==
Un mecanismo de autenticación de la entidad (por ejemplo, contraseña, una mapa, una clave, una biométrica,...). Este mecanismo no es útil en sí mismo, pero es esencial para el funcionamiento de los dos siguientes:

Un mecanismo de autorización (la entidad puede ser autenticada, pero no tiene el derecho a acceder a este recurso en un momento dado).

Un mecanismo de trazabilidad: a veces el mecanismo de autorización puede ser insuficiente para garantizar que la entidad tiene el derecho de acceso a ese recurso (respecto a un procedimiento, a las horas trabajadas, ...), la trazabilidad compensa esta carencia mediante la introducción de una espada de Damocles responsabilizando a las entidades. También sirve si se desea identificar a posteriori al responsable de una acción.

## Objetivos del control de acceso

Impedir el acceso no autorizado a los Sistemas de Informacion, bases de datos y servicios de información.

Implementar seguridad en los accesos de usuarios por medio de técnicas de autenticación y autorización.

Controlar la seguridad en la conexión entre la red del organismo y otras redes públicas o privadas.

Garantizar la seguridad de la información cuando utiliza computación movil e instalaciones de trabajo remoto.

## Tipos de Control de acceso

Gestión de acceso de usuarios.

Control de accesos al sistema operativo.

Control de acceso a la información y aplicaciones.

Control de acceso en redes.
Distortion

## Quirk Abilities

The user of this quirk becomes able to twist, bend, and curve physically
 concrete non living objects. The user's eyes start to glow a bright
shade of yellow as they use [Distortion], glowing brighter the longer
the user bends an object.

## Quirk Limitations

In addition to not affecting living organic matter, this quirk requires
concentration to uphold. If the user loses his focus long enough, the
effects of [Distortion] will end and the affected objects will return to
 the state they held before being affected by this quirk. For example
getting hit by any non free form attack while initially using
[Distortion] on an object will break their focus. Extreme applications
of this quirk CAN create permanent effects in very specific cases
allowing for the creation of material break techniques or techniques
that can be used for the purpose of crafting or repairing items if the
user possesses the [Gadgeteering Enhancement]. The user can’t use
[Distortion] on anything they can’t physically lift or use [Distortion]
to preform multiple tasks at the same time until they reach a control
rank of B. Should they attempt to do so, they will suffer a -2 stat
grade debuff to both power and stamina for the duration of two posts. If
 the user exceeds their limit, they will suffer a -2 stat grade debuff
to their stamina for the duration of one post.
