Our heroes were in terrible shape. They all found themselves locked up in the local drunk tank in Aruba due to trumped up charges. They were all pretty screwed, with no gear and no hope, when during the court the beautiful and intelligent Mary Sue burst them out for a special job that she had in mind. She took them to her magnificent mansion where she fed them some of the best food that they had ever had in their lives.

She told them that they had two days to get on board a AAA corporate run ship and to obtain an item for her. The party had little choice because of how much they owed the beautiful and intelligent woman. She had even provided them a boat. After examining the boat, and warding it, our heroes were at a loss of what to do. If only they had asked Mary Sue! She knew everything and was so wise.

The heroes got attacked by a bunch of technomancers mad at the brothers for a crime they did not commit. They kept sending cars at them and at one point tried to destroy the car that they were in. The heroes detected this and royally screwed up the technomancer's day. Then they hung out in a bar trying to get him to see reason.

Eventually, they told Mary Sue about a dagger that they had received strange omens and portents about. In the middle of a night, a goblin that had been leaving them odd notes and cryptically annoying clues told them that their lives were in danger. Rather than flee, our heroes went deeper into the mansion to find ancient tunnels underneath. There, they found a powerful ritual with hundreds of insect spirits. Wisely, they choose to take the other path and found the dagger.

After the four of them managed to overcome the powerful fire spirit, their luck changed and Mary Sue was instantly killed. They took almost anything that wasn't nailed down in the mansion (that they could quickly carry) and got themselves some quick cash. On the way out, a man from the Atlantean foundation called them, and asked them if they would do the same job that Mary Sue asked them to do, but with enough tools to get the job done.

They ran out of gas and were picked up by the Red Line cruise ship security. They were allowed to be on the boat while it was being refueled. A short while later, they were able to infiltrate a powerful vault and retrieve the mysterious package that both the Atlantean Foundation and Mary Sue had been asking for. Our heroes left as soon as possible, only to be intercepted by an Atlantean Foundation along the way.
