who?

Captain –

On the warehouse shift when I heard an argument with Jonah. Four strangers (human, three anchors) wanted on the boat. Sent him off without us. Said they were reporting from a journey, and knew my name. Might’ve known Strange. One was Orlesian, couldn’t place the rest.

Told me that had to be:

• A joke
• A cracked head
• Mind control

The works. Something bad at the Gallows, so they gotta cross urgent. Then the big one got in my face. She didn’t go for my knife, and no one pulled a weapon. No spells. Orlesian took off, but otherwise they been cooperative.

( Black hair, mustache. About my size. Checked with the guard, and they thought I was talking on Rutyer. Then I had to explain the others weren’t Cedoux, or Anderson, or von Skraedder; neither. Don’t even get that last one, Nevarran's not that thi – )

[ several crossed out sentences follow ]

Don’t sound or look like they belong together. Makes me think of Rifters, or someone trying to act it. But if there’s something on, they got awful good liars, and an awful shit approach. Be easier to just send "new recruits".
