ABANDON(ED) SHIP
We’ve had an SOS ping from a ship off the shore of Rivertide. The people on board could be in danger as the fog will begin to roll back in soon enough and they’ll be consumed. We need someone to go out and check on the vessel and either repair it or rescue those on board- if they are any on board.

It was eerie on this ship. It felt extremely eerie as Eddy was dragged up on board. Behind them he saw the Dragonair fusion circle around the ship a few times before starting to swim away. Eddy didn't know a this point if he was better on the ship or if he was better on the back of the Pokémon. On one hand when he was sitting on Three's back he was so close to the ocean and felt unsteady- as if at any moment he might fall over and sink into the ocean to drown. It was not safe down there, but also, this ship was an illegal money holding hideaway of a crime lord. It made the poor eldegoss fusion whine faintly.
Honey meanwhile wasn't quite as concerned about where he was, his only concern was why the ship was so empty. "You can't hear anyone either, can you?" Honey asked towards Eddy who paused and frowned.
"No? Is someone supposed to be here? Isaiah is probably rich enough to afford a ship that can drive itself isn't he? then it would sent the SOS if something in it broke down--" It sounded reasonable to him. What couldn't be done with technology now a days after all but at his words Honey just stared at him like he was crazy.
"... Eddy."
"... Honey?"
"Do you know how incredibly suspicious that would be? This is a boat meant for living on, sending it in and out every day with no one on it would be very suspicious." Honey felt as if he was speaking to a child. Technically Eddy was older than him but in regards to anything that wasn't entirely legal, it seemed like they knew about as much as a three year old.
As for Eddy himself there was no response from the bug-like man at that as he just quieted down to look at the ground. Well alright them. But... "If. Simeone's supposed to be here then, why is no one here?" Eddy asked carefully as he looked nervously over the ship. Honey had moved from the basic deck into the cabin to start rifling through there, noticeably with gloves on and quietly Eddy followed him inside.
Everything looked normal somehow. How money could be hidden in here Eddy didn't know because everything was just that. Normal. There was a small hammock that looked quite well put together, a little kitchen- everything that he would expect from a boat. Not that he had ever been in a boat before, but he'd seen video's at least! "I don't know, Eddy, You tell me that?"
Ah. Honey didn't seem to appreciate his questioning so he quieted down to instead just inspect everything on his own. Bed... Check. Kitchen, check. Oh look, there was even a little TV out here! Perking up Eddy looked at it and reached over to turn it on. Could you even get a signal from way out here? The answer was a very resounding no. You couldn't get a clear signal but you could play pre-recording videos so the TV quickly roared into life.
It was a colorful flash of light- a loud sound of people talking and a very distinctive squeak from behind him of Honey getting surprised. Before he knew it and before he would be able to register just what it was that had started to be played Honey turned it off with an exasperated groan. "What did I tell you when we first went on the boat?" He asked in complete disbelief.
Eddy was quiet as Honey turned on him like this, fidgeting where he stood. "... I just wanted to see if it would turn on?"
Honey didn't seem keen on that and just sighed. Reaching forward he wiped at the surface that Eddy had just touched with his glove to try and clear away any traces of the man who was just here. "... I don't see why it's so bad if I leave traces." Eddy mumbled which just earned an annoyed sigh. "Authorities if they wanted to could probably find out as is that I'm here."
That made the younger man pause. "...Why. Why will they know you're here if you don't leave any trace?" Honey asked quietly, his voice being eerily calm despite the tone that he took on. It sent shivers up Eddy's spine as if he said something wrong.
"...Because-"
"Did you tell someone you were coming here? No you've been in my sight this whole time."
"Well you see..."
"Are you linked with someone? No you're linked with Celeste."
Honey wasn't letting him speak until Eddy burst. "I have a stable system! it's built to be connected to emergency services in case I get in another accident!"
In other words, he was like a beacon to any possible authorities saying hey! We're here now!
