Aft Section

Bosun, Starkey, and Willoughby prowl the aft section during the crew's ship-wide hunt for stowaways.

Footsteps echo on weathered planks as shouts pierce the tense air, every corner scrutinized amid rising paranoia over the 'white Barbary terror.' Shadows pool in tight spaces, amplifying the crew's desperation to root out hidden intruders.
