===Safe Harbor in The Last City=== | ===Safe Harbor in The Last City=== | ||
The Spider's plan to be smuggled to safety by The Drifter went awry, as the pod he used as a disguise fell into the possession of House Salvation. House Salvation, despite being in the doldrums after their leadership being crushed, have been hijacking shipments here and there along trade routes. To rescue the on-the-run crime boss, Drifter contacts the Guardian, explaining that he needs their help with reclaiming some stolen cargo. Once the Guardian located the containment pod with Spider inside, he was incensed for the Guardian to see him in such a position of helplessness, telling Drifter they would have words about this upon completion of his journey. Drifter turned the conversation towards extra recompense, "hazard pay", sensing an opportunity for profit in the compromised position of the Spider. Knowing all too well what was occurring, Spider was indignant, believing Drifter to be an amateur extortionist. When threatened with return to the Tangled Shore, Spider relents and engages in the haggle for his safety, offering up his Ketch as payment for the extra trouble. The only problem with obtaining the Ketch is that House Salvation currently controlled it. | |||
As the Guardian proceeded to liberate Spider's Ketch from the hands of House Salvation, Spider elaborated on a conversation he heard between two Dreg's outside his pod. Spider relayed that someone had rallied House Salvation, and they were currently on the search for a specific artifact of the Dark Age. Drifter assumed that such artifact recovery was beneath House Salvation, and that someone "higher up" had to be giving them orders. After the Guardian defeated the leader of the Fallen pack, it becomes clear that the being rallying House Salvation is its original leader, Eramis, who is now missing from her Stasis prison. Upon learning this, Drifter declares its time to chase after whatever artifacts and treasures Eramis may be after, as she is too dangerous to leave to her own devices. Spider then spits that the Guardian must prevent Drifter from piloting the Ketch, as he knows he'll treat it like "one of his own", which is badly. | |||
