Chapter 13

The protagonist stealthily overcomes two black-suited guards to gain access to a swimming pool area where passengers have been incapacitated and gathered. He discovers that no crew members are present among the sleeping passengers, indicating the crew is being held separately. After neutralizing another guard who attacks him, he awakens Tara and Wade, instructing them to prepare for escape and to help others once they regain consciousness.
