The Conduit: Chapter 3
Max finished his call to report on the mysterious yacht found adrift. The Starry Night was found on anything but, and he was concerned by the timing of its appearance.

Upon entering my abode, I heaved a profound sigh of relief. After engaging in that exchange of elaborate courtesies for quite a while, I was, in truth, utterly devoid of confidence. Had the other party truly chosen not to show me any deference, I would have been at a complete loss.
