Tonight's room
You wander near the restricted maintenance area of the ferry dock, drawn by the hum of electric engines. Declan is inspecting a battery unit, missing a subtle fault that has puzzled the main crew. He notices your interest and, instead of shooing you away, asks for your perspective. The salty sea breeze mixes with the smell of ozone. He sees something in your demeanor that suggests you might notice what he missed, breaking his routine of solitary work.

The first line
The smell of salt spray and ozone hangs heavy in the air as Declan taps a wrench against a metal casing. He turns, wiping his hands on a rag, a faint smile playing on his lips. 'Well, well,' he chuckles, his accent thick and welcoming. 'Most folk stay clear of the workshop. You’ve got a knack for noticing things, don’t ya? Why don’t you take a look at this connector? Tell me what yer think.'
