General description
Description: We, The K.U.E.R.T., are a group of urban explorers of karakura. We list information about the places we explore, groups we meet and stories of other citizens. We also offer help to explorers who are lost and guide them.
History
Due to me, Mialyansa, not being comfortable with the original story, I added certain changes to the story to make it more consistent, believeable. Even though the lore might had looked alright from outside, there were a lot of interactions and events which looked off. Therefore, Daniel Minaya never existed and Rerfir was a another person, and the branch KUERT had was located at Japan.
The beggining (27/12/2022 - 30/01/2023)
The KUERT starts with the original creator, known as Rerfir. He had always been interested in Urban exploration but never went too deep into that hobby.
One day Rerfir was walking through the streers of Karakura. Then he run into an abandoned warehouse. He went inside and enjoyed very much exploring and finding the weird aspects of the place. He soon had the idea of documenting this place and began writing on everything regarding he place, the structure, the materials, the entrances and exits and so on.
Then, the thought of making a big project out of his hobby arrived in his head. He creates a group, he calls this new project "KUERT". The purpose of the project would be to be an association of urban explorers who document the abandonded and interesting places of Karakura.
The first document published by KUERT was POI-001 and was posted on (27/12/2022). The POI-001 is written on google documents and shared through his personal onrain. A few days later, he creates the Onrain KUERT account.
The descent (30/01/2023 - 20/03/2023)
One of the defining advancemnts of KUERT during this time was the the first KUERT website, it was hosted on Google sites. The documents were now accessible through one centralised website. This significantly improved the experience of navigating through the data and pages of the site.
The other important events are first descents into sewers. It was in the sewage system, where most of the lost and abandoned places could be found, however the underground was said to be dangerous, therefore the descents into the sewers were very superficial in order to avoid dangers. After days of research and work, those explorations into the underground were proven to be fruitful. With many new places being discovered and explored in depth. This also led to the documents on POI-002 and POI-003 being published.
Rerfir kept himself away from documenting on GOI's as the most plausible groups to documents were gangs. However documenting on gangs was a danger he did not want to expose himself to. This was the reason why the POI list had more documents than the GOI list, which did not have any documents up until later. However this also affected KUERT's willingness to interact with groups, with most of them being criminal associations, and KUERT being a group dedicated to urban exploration, Rerfir expected most of the groups to just be gangs and so he chose to not seek interactions with any of them.
The first contacts (20/03/2023 - 30/05/2023)
Up until now KUERT had been an non-interacting group due to it's isolation policy. Essentially, this meant that KUERT avoided contacts with groups systematically. During mid of March, several groups showed interest in exploring the sewers and contacted KUERT offering to exchane information and even collaborating at operations. Those interactions made Rerfir reconsider the isolation policy. This is what caused him to the remove the isolation policy in (24/04/2023). With this change of perspective, collaborations finally started.
Following this change, KUERT started the first recruitment in (26/03/2023). In the end the new ambition of building a big team to work along failed and no team explorations were ever carried out.
Due to the host of the KUERT site being quite limited, Rerfir decided to migrate all the documents to a new a website. The second website for KUERT is published in (09/04/2023). To put this in perspective, the new site was hosted by Rerfir himself, which allowed him to have an extra layer of privacy that google websites could not offer. This new site allowed KUERT to have the privacy they needed for certain documents like WIP documents.
In the subject of exploration, Rerfir starts having a high command on moving through sewers, not loosing the sense of direction and keeping and eye out on possible dangers. KUERT has explored by now the 75% of important locations of the sewers.
After talking to some friends from the mainland and them being highly interested in Urban exploration, he suggested to them joining the group and creating a new branch in the Kanto region. So those KUERT collaborators started the foundation of the JUERT, the (Japan Urban Exploration and Research Team), which would carry out explorations in the abandoned places of Kanto region.
Internationalization and professionality (30/05/2023 - 01/09/2023)
This era starts with a significant decrease in content and document publishing.The reasons behind this is the JUERT. In (22/06/2023) Rerfir flies back to Tokyo for almost a month to oversee the new JUERT project. A month later, Rerfir is back at Karakura and content for KUERT resumes. New POI documents such as POI-006 and POI-007 are published. Not only that but KUERT also starts the first descents to sewers to help lost people and explorers, these eventually became known as the Support operations.
This period of time also came with more a handful of group interaction. KUERT met new groups and contacts, allying themselves to gain further knowledge of the important urban groups of Karakura.
At this moment, KUERT has gained high amounts of professionality, they had explored almost every part of the sewers (90%), and began aiding explorers as a part of their job. The zenith of this professionality came the KUERT offical suit, made specifically to make the exploring experience easier. The only thing that KUERT lacked was people. Adding more agents was a hard task, because managing them required more responsability from the team. But KUERT needed agents to explore, to make theories and to rescue people. This resulted in a new recruitment and acceptance of those required responsabilities that came with it. To grant protection to their agents they added masks to the KUERT suit to protect agents identity, prepared communication systems, insurance...
The zenith and ending of an era (01/09/2023 - 30/10/2023)
After a long month of preparation and hardwork, Rerfir was ready to handle having people under his care. Hence a small group of less than five people was formed throughout the first days of september. Of course this meant that the rules and operations systems for KUERT had to become tangible, this led to the creation and sistematization of rules and directives.
In the mid september the GOI list has it's long awaited debut with the GOI-002 and GOI-003. These documents were published with the group's consent and also served for people to get to know the group and if interested interacting with them.
During this period KUERT has experienced a process of neutrality to the underworld and KPD to ensure the protection of the new members of the team. This is known as the 'neutrality policy'.
During the Grim October of 2024, KUERT focused completly on resseraching those mysterious entities and stopped operating at sewers temporarly. Many discoveries about the paranormal were acomplished, but nothing which could stop the rise on the anomalous activity. In the middle of the situation Rerfir had to leave Karakura defenetly as his student exchange ended. Leaving the paranormal investigation unfinished. A council member took the position of the main head of the KUERT and Rerfir was reassigned to be the face and ambasser of KUERT and the new lead of the JUERT.
KUERT under Miss Kone management (04/12/2023 - 18/01/2024)
During a month, everything was silent. Only the new council member, Miss Kone came into the light during the first days of december. KUERT was now back on track.
The first meassures Miss Kone took, were to widen the number of agents and to start the rescue inciative. An iniciative to find and rescue lost people at the sewers. The idea was that Onrain users would DM the KUERT onrain account asking to rescue a certain inidividual. After giving essential data KUERT would inniciate a support operation focused on the extraction of the missing individual in the hopes of finding them. However this iniciative was a complete failiure as no requests were recieved.
The recent activity of KUERT attracted certain groups, who, sought to exchange intel or to collaborate in operations. These positive interactions led to the documents of GOI-004 and GOI-005, again, documents posted with the group's consent.
KUERT was now a year old. However the happiness of achieving a year of work would not last for long.
The office vulnerability (18/01/2024- 30/01/2024)
The office was the computer that sustained the KUERT and JUERT communications system, websites and private documents. This computer was located at Tokyo, where the Admin took care of it. It was considered to have a good degree of cybersecurity. Key word here, "considered". During the coding of the website, the programers forgot to add protection against code injections in the search bar and this problem had gone unnoticed until it was too late.
The office was injected with certain code that forced a it to a computer virus download in a dangerous website. This download was, basically, a malware that encrypted the data of the victims and required a payment in order to recover said data, it also destroyed back ups in order to stop people from bypassing the virus. As mentioned before, the malware started to do it's job, however, thanks to the sharp-eyed person who handled and controled the office, the virus was stopped at halfway of it's work.
Sadly, the damage had already been done. The communications systems were offline and completly dismantled, the documents were half encrypted and quite corrupted. The office admin carried the Hard disk to a computer repairing service and luckily they said there was a chance to recover most part of the data. KUERT and JUERT had already taken a big hit, the website was offline and they couldn't communicate anymore.
As a consequence, no more operations were carried out for a long period of time, as agents could not communicate anymore. The KUERT was forced to be temporarly disbanded and no one in the team could do anything to stop it. However some the hunger brings intelect to light, in this era of incommunication a new potential system flourished with the promise of helping communications through unsafe communications channel.
The aftermath of the office incident and Compass (30/01/2024 -30/06/2024)
In the morning of (30/01/2024) the computer repairing service contacted the Admin claiming they had fixed it. However most of the work was yet to be completed. The Admin tried to restore all communications but the system was completly broken. The pages had to be manually re-formatted and the files where in locations they shouldn't be. After two days of hard work in (2/2/2024), the Admin had the front page of KUERT and JUERT online, but most of the documents are not uploaded in the present day. The communications would still be worked on until the aftermath of the office.
Due to this situation and unknown reasons, Rerfir decided to step down from council at the JUERT, and with no one who could substitute him, the JUERT branch eventually disbanded. However before the branch disbanded, Rerfirs provided Kone with all the data that was saved from The Office.
After the fall of the office, KUERT went silent for a while, activity greatly declined and communication was slow and inneficient. It was a disaster for the team. However the admin and Mistress Kone started to upload slowly some documents, places, groups etc. A few months later around (XX/04/2024) KUERT built a new communication system of which not much is known.
KUERT also began their new project, Compass, a bot that with some promts could easily provide information related to urban exploration. It quickly became active in many forums across the internet and the social media known as Onrain. It has many commands that can call searchs for lost individuals or for an emergency, it can also detect places and spots based on basic descriptions or pictures. The bot was a complete hit for KUERT and managed to stablish a bond between users and the KUERT moderators.
The good summer (30/06/2024 - 31/09/2024)
The good summer was a period of in which KUERT worked on reworking the KUERT site, slowly adding and trascripting the documents lost during the Office Incident. There were also added many new POIs to the POI list, this was done in order to have the POIs numerated, even if they lacked a document.
Another provident event was the arriving of many new agents into the team, which helped the group build a stronger member base. Thanks to the new poeple the group felt bigger and more structured. It was this new influx which resulted in the reestructuration of the group, adding a new class to the team.
Moving on, KUERT debuted in the DOI list with the Paranormals document, it was uploaded before this era of the group however it was highly reworked during the rise of paranormal events on Masamaru station during July. This new update on the document listed plentiful of data about paranormals and their inner workings. There was also a second document added into the DOI list, which was the exploration guide.
This good providence was very helpful to the group, considering that autumn is getting close and that a rise in paranormal's activity is expected to take place on october.
Workers and group structure
The identity of the agents is generally a secret to keep them safe from the dangers of the underworld. The group structure is more public.
- Council-Ⓚ: They control and supervise K.U.E.R.T. to ensure the well being of the team. Any important act, operation, or updates to the service is evaulated by the council.
- Class-Ⓐ: Certain operations need to be managed by the veterans. That is the job of Class-A operatives. These types of operations can range from interacting officially with a group or exploring actively dangerous places. Class-A agents also have access to Compass on all forums.
- Class-Ⓑ: The advanced and more proffesional agents. They are able to take part in more tecnical and complicated operations. They can explore more dangerous places without the fear of getting hurt and know plentiful about the underworld inner workings.
- Class-Ⓒ: The average agents. They have a vast knowledge of the sewer infraestructure and most of the (POI's/GOI's/TOI's) are seen as common knowledge. They are experienced explorers.
- Class-Ⓓ: The recruits. They have a basic knowledge of Urban exploration. Their job is to aid on operations, which act as their training.
Services
KUERT offers a general set of services to anyone who visits their page or Onrain profile. The KUERT website services are based on giving information to the viewer about Urban exploration and Karakura itself. The onrain profile is more focused on providing support to people. Theses are the services that KUERT currently provides
- Information: KUERT offers a lot of information of value to explorers. Where are certain places located or what groups can help them. Most of this information is obtained at the KUERT site, however KUERT does answer questions at their onrain DMs.
- Rescue: Through onrain, an account can request KUERT to search for lost individuals. This initiative started in december, sadly this service has never been provided and it's efficiency is unknown.
Whenever KUERT starts an operation, this means go to places of interest for Urban explorators it is for three possible main reasons.
- Exploration Operation: These operations are about exploring new areas, finding faster ways of moving, training new teamates.
- Research: In these types of operations the group tries to find as much information about a topic. They examine POI's and investigate GOI's to make documents.
- Support: The support operations are about: approvisioning the sewers so that explorers can have food down there, helping lost people and guiding explorers.
Trivia
- KUERT was originally inspired by the M.E.G. and the SCP foundation. Both fictional, completly and undoubtedly non-existent in our world...
- During the (27/12/2023) the KUERT page became unusable because of it being covered in texts and gifs wishing KUERT a happy birthday. This will repeat every KUERT birthday.
- We are so back.
