If you’re playing NTE: Neverness to Everness and hit the “Whose Leak Is This?” Anomaly Commission, you’re probably scratching your head—and maybe pulling your hair out. This tricky puzzle is one of the game’s most cryptic side quests, requiring sharp observation, logic, and a bit of luck to crack.

But don’t worry—we’ve decoded the mystery and are here to walk you through it step by step. By the end of this guide, you’ll solve the anomaly, unlock rare rewards, and finally move on with your journey through the Everness.

What Is the “Whose Leak Is This?” Anomaly Commission?

The “Whose Leak Is This?” mission is part of NTE: Neverness to Everness’ Anomaly Commission side quests. These optional but rewarding puzzles challenge players to investigate strange occurrences in the game’s world. In this case, you’re tasked with identifying the source of a mysterious data leak—but the clues are vague, scattered, and easy to miss.

Why Solve It?
✅ Unlocks rare gear (including a unique cybernetic upgrade).
✅ Grants experience points (helpful for leveling up).
✅ Advances the side story (reveals lore about the game’s factions).
✅ Achievement/Trophy (for completionists).

🕵️‍♂️ Step-by-Step Solution: How to Solve the Puzzle

Step 1: Accept the Commission

• Where to Start: Talk to Commission Officer Lin in the Neo-Carbon District (she’s near the central terminal).
• Dialogue Trigger: Select the option: “I’ll investigate the data leak.”

Step 2: Gather Clues from the Terminal

• Head to the Neo-Carbon Central Terminal (marked on your map).
• Interact with the main console and select:
  • “Access Anomaly Logs”
  • “Filter by Leak Source”
• You’ll see three suspicious entries:
  1. User ID: “Black Swan” – Data extracted: Classified Neural Maps
  2. User ID: “Phoenix” – Data extracted: Military Grade AI Codes
  3. User ID: “Ouroboros” – Data extracted: Quantum Encryption Keys

💡 Key Clue: The terminal hints that the leak is internal—someone with high-level access.

Step 3: Investigate the Suspects

Now, you need to track down each user ID and interrogate them. Here’s where to find them:

Important Note: Each suspect will deny involvement at first. You’ll need to choose the right dialogue options to break their alibis.

Step 4: Uncover the Real Culprit

After interrogating all three, return to the terminal and select:

• “Cross-reference security footage.”

This reveals that all three suspects were in the same room during the leak—but only one had the access codes.

Final Clue: The quantum encryption keys were stolen right before a blackout. The only person who could’ve done this is Professor Lee Min (Ouroboros), because:

• He had unrestricted access to the quantum lab.
• The blackout was a distraction (his specialty).

Step 5: Confront the Culprit

• Go back to Professor Lee Min in the Quantum Research Facility.
• Choose the dialogue: “It was you. The blackout was your alibi.”
• He’ll confess and reveal that he was selling the data to the Everness Corporation (a major faction in the game).

Step 6: Complete the Commission

• Return to Commission Officer Lin and report your findings.
• Reward: Neural Disruptor (a rare cybernetic weapon) + 5,000 XP.

💎 Why This Puzzle Matters in NTE: Neverness to Everness

The “Whose Leak Is This?” anomaly isn’t just a random side quest—it ties into the game’s larger narrative:
