X doesn't miss when the alarm goes up about the return of the Narrakra, but by the time he arrives at the harbour, the docks are already swarmed with people.
Maybe, he thinks, eyeing the Sentry soldiers, that might work in his favour. The ship itself isn't well-guarded. Everyone, even the Sentry, seems terrified of it. For good reason, too; the ship looks like it's returning from a sea battle that raged for decades.
X takes a step, then stops. Maybe he shouldn't be sneaking onto a possibly haunted ship like this on his own. He takes a second or two to send a text message to Zephyr:
Zephyr, the Narrakra came back, and it looks like the crew survived. Meet me at the docks?
Less than a minute later, X slips under the rope. What can he say? Old habits die hard.
Change of plans, I sneaked onto the ship. Meet me there?
for Zephyr!
