Cianne

Let me tell you, there’s something strange happening on Maquba Island. I’ve seen a fiery orb, blazing through the sky every night, and there are strange plumes of smoke in the air.

Ramone

Fiery orb? Next Cianne will be saying it’s an alien, or that ghost woman Grandpops used to tell us stories about. There is that smoke, though. We could take a look … just to make sure.
