Onboard the ship, Captain Snow, Hobbes, and Anna are cooking up a rescue plan for Jessie while the others are tending to the ship's repairs.
After Andrion and Anna repaired the damaged pieces of the ship, the rest of the gang settled down on the bow.
"So Finn, what can you tell us about the Steel House?" Trevor asked.
"Well, I had worked at that hell hole for about four years, but it's not a paradise that I can tell you," Finn replied.
"The Steel House is a place you don't want to be locked up in, there are people in there who will break you, there are people who want to torment people like you, just for fun, that place is a literal hell, Jessie's in it," he explained.
"But how the heck did you end up with the mafia? What happened?" asked Scarlett.
Finn's face dropped; horrible memories filled his mind with both good and bad memories of his life working with Steelvale.
"I led a small uprising against this new ruler, Emperor Varix, but we didn't match him. We revolted again and again, and he just killed them, including my girlfriend. So I got out of there, leaving my friends, my family, to fend for themselves. I had met with the mafia days later," Finn replied.
His charming actions quickly faded away from his anxiety.
The mere thought that he would have to go back to Steelvale and face the people he vowed to protect made his stomach churn to the point where he left the room.
Corvus walked into the room, carrying bottles of homemade rum.
"Damn, when I became a Freelancer, people always told me to stay away from the Steelvale Territory, and now I can see why," he said.
Scarlett scowled at Corvus.
She left the main deck to check on Finn, as everyone else carried on their business.
Jordan sat down next to Hobbes.
''Hey, Hobbes," he said.
"Jordan, welcome," Hobbes said, scooting over as he left a seat open for Jordan.
He sat next to Hobbes; they both began to sharpen the weapons.
"I appreciate what you and your friends are doing for us, Jessie. She's like my little sister, man, and I don't know what I would do if someone hurt her," Hobbes said to Jordan.
Jordan and Hobbbes clinked their drinks together in solidarity.
"Guys, we are docking at Steelvale's harbor, ETA four minutes," Anna said over the intercom.
Minutes later, everyone else regrouped back in the command center.
"Okay, Snow, what's the plan here?" Jordan asked him.
Captain Snow rolled out a map of Steelvale's main facility, the Steel House.
"The Steel House is a juggernaut; nobody gets in or out without their say so, sneaking in will be a bit of a challenge," Captain Snow answered.
