# Neverness to Everness: mapping a TCP connection's records

> This investigation maps one Neverness to Everness TCP connection from locally captured PCAPs. Python scripts decode length-prefixed frames, FlatBuffers messages and player or quest records; the documented connection may cover login and initialization rather than live gameplay.
