Sure, you chose to go after Nico. That doesn’t mean everyone has to agree. An argument splits the group, and the mission gets complicated in Sky Island’s carnival of deli

11 | Seek the Seawall

Joule and the others take a boat to the harbor in the dead of night. How are they supposed to find the machine in the dark? Don’t ask us, we didn’t choose this chapter.
