1919 Haniel is an A-Class Psyche Esper who works at Sterry Express as a side gig. By day she is a social media content creator and influencer; delivering packages for Sterry Express is how she earns extra cash.

2121 Jiuyuan
2222  
2323 Jiuyuan is an S-Class Anima Esper who is the crew's driver, handling urgent deliveries that involve anomaly-related cargo. She wears a large floppy hat and carries a philosophical outlook, believing that greed will sink you "deeper into the mire." Her hybrid DPS/healer kit makes her valuable both as a combat partner and as the group's sustain option during dangerous delivery runs.

2525 Courier Operations
2626  
2727 Sterry Express operates as a delivery service across Hethereau, but its operations go beyond ordinary package delivery. The company handles shipments that pass through anomaly-affected zones, requiring couriers who can fight as well as they can deliver. This dual requirement explains why the organization employs combat-trained Espers rather than ordinary couriers.
2828  
2929 The logistics crew covers different aspects of the delivery pipeline. Hathor handles the most dangerous routes as the elite frontline courier, Jiuyuan drives for urgent time-sensitive deliveries, and Haniel picks up packages as flexible part-time work. Together, they form a small but capable team that can respond to delivery requests across the city, even when those requests lead them into supernatural territory.

3535 In the main story episode "Deal? Deal!", Esper Zero (the protagonist) and the Sterry Express crew attend a special anomaly auction together. The auction involves trading in anomaly-related goods and artifacts, drawing interest from various factions across Hethereau. During the event, a new mysterious force makes its appearance, one that may be connected to The Circle, the game's overarching antagonist organization.

3838 This episode is significant because it brings Sterry Express into direct contact with the larger narrative threads of NTE's story. The crew's attendance at an anomaly auction suggests that their courier work sometimes intersects with the shadowy world of anomaly commerce, where the line between legitimate delivery and dangerous entanglement can blur.

4242 The official Containment Test trailer describes Sterry Express as allies who are "always ready to lend a hand to new anomaly hunters," positioning the organization as a friendly faction that supports Esper Zero's work at Eibon. The couriers' willingness to help the player reflects their good-natured relationship with the anomaly hunting community, even though their primary business is delivery rather than containment.

4444 Relationship with Eibon
