Operator Beeswax, a member of an ancient tribe from the depths of the deserts of Sargon, contacted us of her own initiative and asked to board the ship in order to locate someone. After learning that the person of interest will not be returning to the ship for the time being, Miss Beeswax has applied to join and travel with Rhodes Island, waiting for the time she can reunite with relative. Beeswax has passed the entrance examination and has been given the official Operator status, and now serves as a Caster for Rhodes Island. This will be the first stop in her lengthy journey of discovery.

Doctor, you'll be working hard today? Then, I'll stay with you. If you slack off, then I'll use this staff... Like this... and give you a smack on the head. Bonk, bonk.
Beeswax, Beeswax, Beeswax... Mm, okay. I should get used to it after reading it a few more times. Oh, Doctor, do you need something? I'm just trying to get used to hearing my code name... so I don't fail to react and get made fun of when others call me.
This bug... Midnight seemed very scared of it and jumped up into the air as soon as he saw it, so I helped him catch it. But, where should we put it now... Um, Doctor, why are you backing away?
My clothes are a bit big, so I feel at ease when they drape over my body. I like that sensation. But, sometimes, I'll accidentally step on them—Uu, uwah, ahh...! ...Fweh, I tripped again... Ow…
The new piece the Folk Song Association put out this month is my new favorite song. Oh, you've never heard of them before, Doctor? The full name is the Folk Song and Originium Arts Research Association... Still haven't heard about it? What about the Electro-music Arts Alliance? How about the Rap and Folk Joint Vantage? Haven't heard of any of them?
The mark on my head? Ah... this is a ceremonial emblem passed down from generation to generation in my tribe, and it is a symbol of our Golden Gods' blessings on our tribe and our people. The faceless gods will protect us, no matter where we go, whether or not we remember them...
Leaving the tribe and traveling to other cities and countries is a rite of passage for all our tribespeople. Only by completing it can one become a fully-fledged adult like my sister. Um, Doctor, you believe I can handle it, don't you?
Hehe, my horns are big and pretty, right? There aren't many people in the tribe who can boast horns like mine! The secret to maintaining them is to apply essential oils once a day, gently massage them with a soft brush—W-Wait, Doctor, I haven't finished today's routine yet, even you can't just touch them like that!
Doctor, please come here. Mm, okay, close your eyes, and let me touch your forehead. The scorching sun, the raging storm, and waves of golden sand washing across the desert. The gods set foot upon the land where we were nurtured, and bestowed our tribe with their blessings. Now, I will share this blessing with you, Doctor.
Miss Beeswax made no attempts to hide her purpose for seeking out Rhodes Island. In fact, she was rather candid throughout the entire meeting, and this straightforward demeanor was consistent with the experiences she had described. In front of us was a young woman who had stepped away from home for the first time, without a deceptive bone in her body or a reason to be wary of others. According to her statement, Miss Beeswax contacted Rhodes Island in order to find a blood relative who had left the tribe first on a journey. After verification, we found that her relative indeed is an active operator, and belongs to one of our affiliated departments. However, that individual is currently on a secret mission and cannot return to the landship any time soon. Upon hearing this, Beeswax was visibly dejected. This young Caprinae from the golden sands does not usually display many expressions, but when her shoulders and eyelids droop, one can see subtle hints of the sense of loss she undoubtedly feels. Fortunately, these depressive bouts rarely last long, and she quickly regains her vitality. At this time, Miss Beeswax made the first important decision since leaving her home to embark on this journey. She decided to become a part of Rhodes Island.
Every operator has their own journey, and in this case, Rhodes Island is just the first step of Beeswax's journey, not the end. We may be in each others' company for the time being, like-minded and hand-in-hand, but we will all find our own direction one day. There will come a day when we go our separate ways. No two roads completely overlap; while they may intersect at times, an intersection is just that. But do remember that no matter where we go, her blessings will always follow us.
Operator Beeswax cherishes her two horns greatly, and almost all operators who've talked to her are aware of this. Among Caprinae, Forte, and other horned races, the horns are a very important part of one's appearance. Akin to the booming and developing beauty industry here, horn care services arose to meet the demand and are well-received. However, even among the operators who are more concerned about their image, very few will make a conscious effort to focus on their appearance. Operators, like Beeswax, who pay close attention their appearance to the point of mastering skills relevant to those interests are among the minority. Every day, Beeswax sets aside a bit of time to maintain her large, curved horns. This maintenance process usually involves multiple steps such as wiping them down with a fine cloth, applying essential oils, soft brush care, and polish. Beeswax always completes each step meticulously, ensuring that nothing is omitted. Through her persistent effort, her horns have achieved a remarkable state of lustre, shape, and hardness. Through our inquiries with other Caprinae operators, we have established that even by Caprinae standards, Beeswax's horns are magnificent, a rare and beautiful sight to behold. After finishing her daily care, Beeswax often provides help to operators who need it, making her very popular within certain small circles.

Hmm... Wah, excuse me, I let my mind wander. Hello, Doctor, I am, my code name is... Umm... Ah, I remember! It's Beeswax. Do you like it? My tribe helped pick it for me.
Hm...? I have to watch all of this?
Promotion? Mm... I don't quite understand.
Doctor, perhaps the path that lies ahead for Rhodes Island is destined to be long and treacherous, but please remember, the gods' decrees and my blessings... will always be with you.
Umm... where are we going this time?
I'm the leader...? Even though I'm not sure how you select your team leaders, I'll try my best.
Well then, let's go.
Someone's over there. Everyone, please be careful.
Yes, I'm here.
How can I help?
Over here? Leave it to me.
The land beneath my feet is the domain of the gods.
Devour them.
Crush them.
Sleep beneath the golden sands.
This is the blessing of the gods.
May they also receive the blessing of the gods…
Phew... It's over. Doctor, was I able to be of use?
Ooh, they got away! Mm... but I guess that's fine?
We can't do this anymore, Doctor. I'll hold the enemies back, so please escape!
What a spotless room... It'd be troublesome if I accidentally spilled sand over it, right?
W-Woah... I stepped on my clothes again…
Ah, Doctor, please look at this! I caught another bug!
Arknights.
Wepet renpet neferet, Doctor. It's an important day, so the first thing I did was a little horn care. Now my friends can come touch them... Oh, touching my horns, you can't feel how well I've kept them? Hm, that's okay. You don't have horns. I don't blame you.
Doctor, I've been waiting.
It's your birthday today, Doctor? Okay. Let me give you my blessing. Please close your eyes and imagine an endless desert. In the desert, a priest knocks the staff on the ground. The sound signifies the gods' blessings are drawing near, and each step kicks up a sandstorm... Huh? Why did you start coughing?
Even now, I still haven't figured out what my sister is up to. But having traveled with Rhodes Island for so long, I've seen lots of sights like the ones in the magazines, but with my own eyes. When I go back to my people, I'll probably see more clearly the blessings of the gods.
The heart of the Sargon desert is difficult to traverse, and even experienced Messengers find it difficult to reach the deepest portions. In Beeswax's tribe, it is not unusual for young members of the tribe to go on journeys to the outside world and bring back what they see. Because these journeys have become traditions in their own rights, this particular tribe is unlike many others in that it does not totally reject novel things from the outside. In addition to these journeys, one or two veteran Messengers may visit each year at certain times to bring the latest news to clan members, including the most recent music magazines. Beeswax does not appear to be someone who is incredibly shrewd; rather, she is straightforward and easy to understand. She loves music as well. When she left home, she brought with her a number of magazines issued by the Music Society, and these new publications became quite popular among the Caster teams. Even Beeswax herself quick integrated, smoothly establishing good relationships with the other operators. Though Beeswax doesn't talk much, is quiet most of the time, and tends to lose her train of thought, by no means is she simple-minded. In choosing to officially become an Operator of Rhodes Island, Beeswax did not rush to her decision, but had to weigh a variety of considerations. The fact that she chose to stay to wait for her relative, while certainly her primary reason, is only one of several considerations. After a bit of inquiry, we determined that Beeswax believes that her time at Rhodes Island will serve as valuable experience to help her pass her tribe's rites of passage to adulthood— or rather, she sees working with Rhodes Island as one rung of that trial. After comprehensive deliberation, we also saw no reason to deny the participation of a talented and powerful Caster. On one hand, the addition of Beeswax is beneficial to us. On the other hand, we believe that such an option will help Beeswax as well, and Rhodes Island will be able to provide her with many further opportunities to understand this land. As an addendum, the young Caprinae waited for several months before picking out her official code name. After writing to her hometown for help, she finally decided on the name she now uses.
The heart of Sargon is a vast region with a harsh environment, home to a large number of small and medium-sized tribes. Among them, some ancient tribes lack means of communicating with the outside world, and often retain their unique customs and traditions. Although the Caprinae tribe to which Beeswax belongs does not fall under this category, it still retains its customs despite regular contact with the outside world. Though many view the so-called 'pagan' beliefs of these tribes as little more than barbaric vestiges of a primitive legacy, there are a few researchers who have been trying to ascertain the true source of these ancient beliefs. Operator Beeswax is not shy about sharing her beliefs. From her descriptions, she tends to use more abstract expressions, trying to depict a conceptual existence rather than a physical object of worship with an actual image. In fact, even though Beeswax claimed to have received the blessings of the gods, she admitted that she had frankly never directly seen these gods.
