As a relatively new recruit to the Shadow Dragons and someone who's only just been trusted with the location of the group's headquarters, you're not expecting to be let in on whatever secret is the cause of all the chaos—but they're more than happy to tell you what's going on.
Neve—that’s Neve Gallus, private eye and protector of Dock Town, which is still completely surreal to you—is missing. Not just gone dark; the Viper has reason to believe she’s been taken. He and Tarquin are about to head out in search of more information or, better yet, Neve herself. When he spots you standing by the door, Tarquin shoots you a relieved look.
“Get your things!” he calls. “We need to move!”
We? you wonder.
The Viper says, “We could use a third. Will you join us?”
