Meanwhile, outside in the open seas, a horn could be heard at a distance. The first mate hurried on deck to witness a smaller, sleeker ship in the distance that was slowly catching up, the flag of the shipping company hoisted and waving in the wind. As the captain made his way out to investigate, the smaller ship approached close enough for the crew's voices to be heard. 

"Additional passenger!" the captain aboard the other ship yelled, as a rope ladder was soon thrown on board, affixed to the railing by the first mate. A red haired woman soon climbed aboard from the ladder, to the captain and first mate's curiosity as they looked to each other and then back to the newcomer.

"Additional passenger, eh? Well that's one way to board the ship! Welcome aboard!" the captain greeted the woman with a cheery smile and a tip of his tricorne as he took a puff of his cigar. "Cap'n Owyn, pleasure to be acquainted!"

The ship's hold was dark and damp, filled with cargo and luggage, with little sign of life other than the muffled sounds of the surrounding ocean waves. There was little metal in any of the containers, save for one box which was filled with iron ingots. A job the ship took on transporting commercial goods, perhaps.
