Damon. Will is gone, and he hasn’t been seen for months. Messages from his number look fake. Something is wrong here, and we need to act immediately. Rika has something hidden, Evans Crist is a danger, Michael is ready to destroy “the Bay,” and Father Winter is still on the run. We’re scattered, vulnerable—and we must act.
Rika. A few years ago I couldn’t imagine that I would end up back aboard the “Phem,” a few kilometers from the coast, sitting at the same table with Michael Krist, Kai Mori, and Damon Torrens—people whom I now consider my family. We’ve been isolated on this yacht for an indefinite time to develop a plan, and we won’t leave until all questions are resolved—even those I would rather not mention and which Michael doesn’t know about. We’ll find Will, define our tasks, and neutralize the threats. If we manage to survive this gathering.
