CBWM
The animated web series "CBWM" (shortened form of Cyan, Black, White, Magenta) is an exercise in the insidious nature of the Nephandi and the danger of Technocratic activism; the product of a Media Control/Neutralization Specialist Corps Amalgam's attempts to incentivize the formation of the so-called "Hunter Syndrome" in the Masses from an earlier age to lessen the stress of fighting EDEs and other Reality Deviant creatures on frontline Amalgams. CBWM details the adventures of a group of all-female "Rangers" in a fictional world thematized by Chinese folk tales, primarily marketed towards American, Asian and European audiences. The world of Vestige, which the story takes place in, is one where humanity is constrained to a few, walled-off cities constantly under assault by strange creatures from beyond the walls and private-sponsored Rangers must battle both the creatures and the fumblings of the well-meaning, but ultimately incompetent government.
However, from the early release, it was clear to any Enlightened viewer that something was fundamentally off about the series; narrative flaws riddled it, plainly obvious for all to see, yet it was still hugely popular. The character designs were unmemorable and the actual content bordered on oftentimes outright offensive, when not simply boring or so deeply flawed that any attempt to save it was irrevocably flawed.
CBWM is a Nephandic grimoire and primer; a work of art, from some perspective. Although the Nephandus who originally influenced and led the development is dead, his work lives on as the horrid creation that it is. CBWM is parted into four arcs, which must all be watched by someone with understanding of narrative concepts (Academics 3 with a specialty in Narratives), knowledge of computer animation (Computer 2 with a specialty in Animation) and finally knowledge of basic budget allocation (Finance 1). Should such a character watch the full work, they may raise their Entropy from 2 to 3 and their Data from 0 to 1. Both spheres however, acquire a qliphothic paradigm and can only be used by a Nephandus.
In addition, should a Sleeper viewer watch every arc as well as the redacted author commentary (Resources 3 or Contacts 3 to gain access to), as well as possess every required Ability at a minimum rating of one dot higher than required, they may treat this like a primer that lets them raise their Arete to 1; this Awakening is tainted, however and is effectively the same as entering a Caul.
