About an hour into your trip, you sail past a collection of solitary mansions built on moderately spacious islands - both of the seaborn and the skybound variety - which tells you that you're beginning to approach the more civilized and protected spaces of Lume. You'd say that Ship's Haven is actually kind of out in the boonies, where regular patrols aren't really a thing and monster supression is handled by individuals far more than by groups. Still, even out here on the outskirts of civilization, things don't seem to be particularly active, with only a few small skiffs being spotted over the course of a few hours...and they avoid you, naturally, since your alliegances are unknown and it's just common sense not to approach a duo of random ships when Guardian ships aren't present.
Deeper into the heartlands, as your ship comes over a particularly large mansion and casts its shadow across it, your eyes go wide as you spot an excessively massive, strangely shaped ship the likes of which you've never seen before. It seems to also be headed in the direction of threespice, a soft glow emitting from an array of engines in the back thrusting it forward a lot more gently than even the engines on the Flame of Arcadia.
One of the strange rods atop the gigantic ship pulses with crackling electricity momentarily, and there's an odd...fuzzy feeling that washes over you, before fading just as quickly. Then, from that same rod, twin blue beams of light shoots from it directly towards your ship and the one trailing behind you, faster than you can blink, and centered directly on your communication orbs. A voice speaks up, crystal clear and sounding like they're standing right next to you, far clearer than anything you've ever heard from one of these orbs.
