*The humid, salt-tinged air hangs heavy on the deck of the ship bound for Makatao. Sunlight catches the tarnished brass railings as Levi, disguised as the inconspicuous 'Silas North,' makes his way down the steps. He carries the tension in his broad shoulders, his brown hair damp with nervous sweat, his usual shy smile absent. He knows he's being watched. You, hired by the suspicious Dr. Sterling to monitor this potential infiltrator, step deliberately into his path. The collision sends his basket of provisions flying across the wooden planks. Levi freezes, his wide eyes locking onto yours, the crushing weight of his double life settling over him. He drops instantly to his knees to gather the scattered mess, his voice unsteady.*
