2000 players start on 500 ships spread between 100 docks. One such dock is the Aloha Tower in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Sara was aboard one of the five ships docked at the tower. It was about 6 a.m. when Sara awoke, sat up, and stretched. ’I don’t remember my bed being that hard.’ she thought rubbing her lower back. It finally hits her when a wind ruffles her hair. “Where the heck am I? How the heck did I get here? And why am I on a ship?” She said aloud as she got up off of the deck. She looked around at the ship she was on, and frowned. That was when she noticed her HP bar. “I’m in a game?! I didn’t log into one, and I know I didn’t go to sleep with my gear on.” She looked around at the other three asleep on the deck. ’I wonder if they logged themselves in.’ she thought, wishing she had a cup of coffee.

That night was a blur. Everything had meshed together as the last thing Topher remembered was downing two shots of some spiced rum that Henry had bought for them and that was it. Now for some reason he found himself laying on a wooden floor, with his back stiff as hell and his head throbbing with a major migraine.

"Game?" He mumbled back at the voice that shouted nearby. "What are you talking about?"

"That thing on top of your head," another voice chimed in. "There's a green line on top of your head, plus a menu... Topher?"

Topher glanced at the second voice, it was another guy who definitely was younger than him. He squinted towards the kid, attempting to read the name that sat on top of his head.

"Daehwi," he replied. "It's a Korean name." Daehwi stood up and rubbed his neck and shoulders, wincing at the stiffness of his own body. "Something definitely isn't right here. My parents are going to freak."

Topher was dazed and confused, in a place that he knew he wasn't supposed to be, stuck with people he totally didn't know. But somehow the young man figured it wasn't going to end there.

Sara looked at the two boys. ”You didn’t log yourselves in either?” she asked opening the menu to look for the ‘logout’ button.

A few feet away, Momoe woke up to the wound of unfamiliar voices. She yawned, and got up off the deck. She was stiff, but she knew that moving was the best way to get rid of it. Momoe joined the group as Sara made a startling discovery.

”There is no logout button! There’s a blank space in the menu, but it doesn’t do anything when you tap it.” Sara said frowning.

Momoe wasn’t the least bit upset by the missing button. ”Well, we’d as might as well explore the ship and learn about the game until the problem gets fixed.” she said looking around.

Daehwi was surprised by the addition of another girl. She seemed a lot younger than the rest and she seemed more at ease, which was solidifying her youthfulness. "I guess you're right. I mean, if we can't log out or whatever, we might as well look around a bit. Maybe we can find something that'll answer our questions."

"Fine." Topher said, agreeing with the two younger members. Turning to the woman who looked more around his age, Topher smiled. "I'm Topher by the way..." Squinting his eyes again, he tried his best to read the woman's name. This time, it was easier to pronounce than the Korean kid. "Sara."

Sara stared at the younger two for a moment, and shook her head. ”I don’t see how you two can be so calm about this.., but I guess you’re right.” She said frowning. She turned to Topher. color=#cc0000]”Nice to meet you Topher. What do you think about all of this?”[/color] she asked figuring that he probably wasn’t too happy with the situation either.

Momoe just shrugged at Sara’s comment. ”There’s no sense in getting all worked up about something you have no control over.” She turned more toward Daehwi since he was closer to her own age, and said, ”My name’s Momoe, by the way.”

"Likewise. And I'm totally not freaking out." Topher replied hesitantly and sarcastically. Sure shit wasn't looking too good as he was still lost and confused, but it did make him feel better knowing he wasn't in it completely alone.

"Hey Momoe, Daehwi." He said with a bow. The youth glanced at the stairs that lead to the lower galley and level of the ship they were on. Pointing at it as if to signal that he was interested in checking it out more. "Let's head down and see what's there?"

His suggestion was geared more towards Momoe as she was the one who was more interested in exploring than the two older folks who completed their odd quadruplet.

"I'd be more careful," Topher suggested. He didn't want to sound like a dad, but he wanted to make a suggestion as someone who felt a sense of brotherly protectiveness to the kids. "Just keep an eye out for each other, that's all I'm saying."

Daehwi nodded as he took a step down the stairs. He took a hard gulp as he turned back around, smiling foolishly. "You sure you don't want to join us?" His head told his body to stop, figuring out that maybe it would be better to go down in more numbers than just with the smallest person of the group.

”Nice to meet you, Daehwi.” Momoe said with a smile. ”Sounds good to me.” She said following him to the stairs. When he turned back to see if the others wanted to join them she turned as well. ”We might find something interesting.”

Sara didn’t respond to Daehwi’s question or Momoe’s statement. Movement on the dock had caught her attention, and she was focused on watching the activity.

Daehwi shrugged his shoulders as he led the way down to the galley of the ship, with Momoe in tow. Of course, he couldn't show the nervousness and anxiety that filled his mind as he was the guy and the older of the two, but deep down he was shaking in his boots as they explored the underbelly of the ship.

"Let's be careful, we don't want to touch anything we don't know about." He suggested to Momoe. That's when he noticed a nearby crate that had something gold on top of it. The bright, shiny tint that it had caught his attention and gaze. It was a coin of some kind, but Daehwi figured he'd keep it tucked away in case they might need it for later.

As the pair of teenagers went down to the lower level of the boat, Topher was left up top with Sara. Her gaze was on something, but Topher couldn't figure it out. He looked at her eyes, then towards the direction she was staring off at, but couldn't put his finger on it.

"Is something there?" He muttered.

Momoe nodded. “Yeah. We don’t want to chance breaking something.” she said looking at the engine machinery that filled the rest of the room.

Back up on the deck, Sara was staring at the building in the middle of the dock. She had seen a group go into the building, but they hadn’t come back out yet. She didn’t know that it was the top floor of the tower. ”I think we should check out that building when we are done with the ship.” She said turning back to Topher

Topher nodded, sticking out his arm signalling and pointing towards the building Sara had mentioned. "If you lead the way, I'll be your backup."

Down below, still exploring the area on their own, Daehwi asked, "Do you know anything about engines? I did notice something strange though... That this boat isn't on water... but rather it's floating in the air..."
