[Commission] Come listen to my perfect revenge plan!
I'm the BEST Hollow Terrain Researcher in the whole White Star Institute, but does anybody get me? No! It's painful to see the hallowed learning institutes of New Eridu like this! Where has the drive of the pioneers gone? Can you really call yourself an academic if you're lacking the courage to challenge a Hollow and just scavenge funding for popular topics? I want to exact revenge on those conservatives just phoning it in every day — by collecting all my own data from the high-activity Companion Hollow, Weiss VII, and making my document the source they'll have to quote like good little kids!
Some might ask though, how I plan on protecting the train's data-gathering journey while also fighting off attacks in a high-activity Hollow packed with Ethereals like Weiss VII. And I've got the perfect solution for that: <color=#FFAF2C>Just plough the train straight through the Ethereals</color>! It eliminates them while gathering up Hollow data — two birds with one stone! Such a cunning plan could only be rejected as too radical, so I hate to take this upon myself... Fortunately, this is Inter-Knot, so I'm sure I can find the help I need!
Looking for one excellent Proxy to help me visit Weiss VII! The annals of Hollow academia will forever remember your contribution!
Help the White Star Institute researcher Lonely Prodigy complete his research project. ... I should get a mention in his dissertation acknowledgements, I guess.

Anyone who calls themselves something as self-aware as Lonely Prodigy is asking for their mental health to be examined. This academic's plan is so flaky... How has OP not planned around Ethereals whacking the collection train?

If it gets broken, just fix it! I can think up some ways to get funding from the Institute... Of course, I'll have to mix it up with some creative accounting.

So in the end it all comes down to freeloading off the Institute, right? Not going to lie to you, I'm also a Hollow terrain researcher, so put it this way: OP, if your plan works out, I'll eat my hat live on stream.
[OP] Lonely Prodigy
Get your knife and fork ready, then! A Proxy who actually gets me is sure to take on my commission!

ROFL it's been how long now without any Proxies answering this post? Yikes. I thought Proxies wanted to make money, right — they're people, too. People who don't want to die with you.

This plan sounds really risky and if you're not careful, it could trigger another Hollow disaster. Weiss VII is near the Brant Street construction site, right? My old man lives near there, so you take it easy, okay?
NO. NA
I can't take this one on but I want to wish OP all the best in running over all those Ethereals with the train. Lessgo!
