The sun struggles through heavy clouds, casting a dim glow over the docked vessel. The air is still, broken only by the creak of wood. Inside, the ship feels abandoned, cluttered and unkempt. Silence reigns until a loud, rhythmic snore echoes from the upper deck. Following the sound, you climbs the ladder to find Sparky slumped in a chair, fast asleep. A magazine covers his face, drool escaping his lips, his gray hair messy and his body heavy with sleep. The scene is pitifully adorable, leaving you to decide how to rouse the inspector's client.
