"Okay, He told me…" the Breton was about to explain before the hull was breached with water. They are swept away by the water and are pinned towards the wall. Mask grabs the Breton before swimming out of the breach. On the surface, the S.W.A.T. team are escorting the mobsters to armoured cars as an unmasked Bill holds Harvey while sitting on the harbour's edge. The Imperial Sergeant of the team approaches Bill.

"Are you alright, Detective?" the Sergeant asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. Have you seen anyone wearing white chitin armour?" Bill asked as he strokes Harvey. "No. I'm sorry, we haven't." the Sergeant answered. Mask emerges from the water carrying the unconscious Breton. He swims towards the dock the some S.W.A.T. personnel spot him.

"Sir, we have spotted someone in the water carrying a Vokman member." one of the personnel informed the Sergeant. S.W.A.T. personnel pull them up from a dock and carry the Breton to the Sergeant as Mask limps towards Bill. "Mask! Are you alright?" Bill asked worriedly to Mask as he puts down Harvey. "Well, I fought through dozens of animated mannequins and almost drowned in an astrosub bridge, I'd say I'm doing okay." Mask replied, catching his breath. "This man you brought is Joseph Garrison; New Moon's Vokman boss! How did you…?" the Sergeant asked Mask before being interrupted.

"He surrendered willingly. I was helping Detective Breacher in the investigation of the assassination of the Ambassador Jirald Sul and ended up here. I chased him though an astrosub to ask him about the hit, but he would only tell me if he would be detained in a maximum security prison. He was about to tell me but then the hull burst and we almost drowned. It can't be a coincidence that the hull burst just as he was about to tell Me." Mask explained. "Thank you. You've done a great service to the city." the Sergeant saluted Mask. "I need to get back to my place; I have a lot of stuff to do. Got videos to make and games to play." Bill said as he picked up Harvey. "Can I get a ride back to Lunar Heights?" Mask requested. "Okay." Bill agreed.

They walk towards Bill's car, where Groin-Cruncher and Steven are waiting inside. "Who's this, Bill?" Groin-Cruncher asked Bill. "He's helping with work." Bill answered. "Also, move aside, this is my car." he added, pushing Groin-Cruncher away from the driver's door. Steve and Mask sit at the back, Groin-Cruncher on the front passenger seat next to Bill.

Soon after they arrive at Lunar Heights. "Thanks again for helping Me." Mask thanked Bill as he stepped out of the car. "This isn't over yet. We still need to find out why the Ambassador wanted himself killed. I'll see you soon." Bill said. Mask enters the apartment as Bill drives away. "Bill. Please. Do not drag me into this." Groin-Cruncher begged.

"No promises." Bill replied. "You have a grim look." Steven commented. The next day, Bill is recording himself playing a video game. "Hey, Bill. I'm going out to see the city. Want anything?" Groin-Cruncher asked. "Nah, I'm fine." Bill answered.

Groin-Cruncher goes downstairs as Bill's phone rings. "Shut up Phone!" he yelled. The ringing persisted and eventually Bill picked up the phone. "What do you want?!" Bill asked angrily. "The case?" asked Mask from the phone.

"Can that wait a little? I'm doing some work. I'm balancing three jobs." Bill whined. "Aren't you going to interrogate him?" Mask asked. "Look, I have a lot on my plate. I got detective stuff, I got to reach my box quota and I need to make YouWire videos. That's a lot. What about I send you instead?" Bill asked. "How?" Mask asked. "What phone are you using?" asked Bill.

"An Akaviri phone; Enrich Incorporated EI-VII. Why do you ask?" Mask asked. "Compatibility reasons. I'll send you an I.D. and the precinct address. G'bye!" Bill said before hanging up. "Breacher? Hello, hello?" Mask said as he tried to get Bill's attention. Outside his apartment, he looks at his phone's screen and finds map marker sent to him. He pulls a keypad from below the screen and calls a taxi.

Later at a police station, Mask disembarks a green taxi in front of the building and enters it. As he enters, he is met by a Moon Elf officer. "Excuse me, sir. Do you have authorisation to enter here? We are conducting interrogations of very dangerous criminals." the officer asked. He opens his phone as shows his I.D. from Bill. "You're with Breacher? Where is he?" the officer asked.

"He's busy with other stuff. He sent me in his stead." Mask explained. "Well, head right in." the officer gestured inside. Mask walks in as he passes officers at desk and spies a holding cell with Vokman members until he reaches the interrogation room where a Breton detective is interrogating Joseph. He opens the door to talk with the detective. "What is it now?" the Detective asked, annoyed.

Mask displays his I.D. to the Detective. "You're with Breacher? I'm sorry, but I'm already interrogating Dad here. "Dad?" Mask said, confused. "Yeah, he's my dad. Despite our relationship, I haven't got a single word out of him aside from my job. Maybe you'll do better." the Detective said as he leaves the room. Mask locks the door and sits down in front of Joseph.

"So… you're a criminal and your son is a cop?" Mask asked awkwardly. "I divorced. My and my late ex-wife shared him, I got Turdas to Loredas." Joseph explained. "Now… about the hit." Mask began. "Are you sure we're safe here?" Joseph asked. "Just tell me already." Mask demanded impatiently. "Alright. When Jirald sent me the letter I thought he wanted cut himself loose. But there was one word that caught my eye: Sybandis." Joseph explained. "Aren't those guys a myth?" Mask asked. "No, they're definitely real. The Vokman are their rivals, more or less." Joseph added.
