CO(2-1) emission from Cloud 10 (northeast region of the map) and Cloud 6 (southwest region of the map) previously reported by Johansson et al. (1998) is seen along the northeast-southwest axis.

We observe previously undetected CO(2-1) emission originating from the region located between Clouds 6 and 10, close to R136 (see Fig.\[fig:COa\]). The emission extends along the southeast-northwest direction in projection. The distance of the emission from R136 in projection is between 2pc (emission is located to the north of R136) to 14pc away (in the northwest direction from R136). This CO emission is approximately five times weaker than the CO emission observed in Clouds 6 and 10. This emission is coincident spatially to the stapler nebula in the optical image of Fig.\[fig:COa\]a. The emission is resolved in CO(2-1) velocity as a chain of small and weak clouds (Fig.\[fig:COa\]a,b). We define the stapler region by the extent of the CO(2-1) emission, which goes beyond the visible stapler shaped dark cloud in the optical. This boundary is marked in Fig.1 with a dashed rectangle. We named the CO clouds Knots (KN), as they form a chain separated in velocity, as demonstrated by the position velocity slice across the stapler nebula, and
