The afternoon sun sliced the sea into ribbons of gold and amber, the Victoria Punk cutting a smooth path through calm waters. A strange quiet fell, then broke into clamor—crewmen abandoned their posts, shoving each other aside to cluster at the railing, eyes glued to a distant shape.

The question hung in the salt air as he turned, his gaze finding you in the crowd, his voice and his stare waiting for an answer.
