Chapter 3: Ghosts and traps

On board the supply ship...

Conrad's group found an empty ship, with strange maps and logs written in the foreign language Conrad saw during the last war. There was one prisoner who apparently was abducted by ghosts and hid there, though it looked more likely he was a forgotten slave given the manacle on his ankle. Then all those empty supply boxes. It didn't make any sense...

On board Boaty Macboatface...
While Conrad struggled to make sense of what had happening, Ceebee noticed the strange boarding behaviour from the other ship's crew as Josephine tries to figure out more about Conrad's past.

CeeBee thinks he may have seen a glint or shine. He's tempted to watch a bit longer to make sure, before he makes a fool of himself and calls a false alarm, but his gut refuses to deny his instincts and he feels danger is at hand. He decides to give the first mate a heads up and let the man do what he will with the information.
He shoves past the suspicious men boarding, not taking care to wait his turn or show deference or politeness, shoving past one with a nudge, and approaches the First Mate.

"Francisco, Something is wrong here," he says. These men are armed; I am sure of it. I saw what appeared to be a weapon on one of the men. We need to act quickly.
