FBE: "What does this button do?"
Ryqn: "Hopefully nothing that sends us--"
Sound FX: "BZZZZZWRRRP"

Ryqn's ship appears near the SS Cotopaxi in 1925

Caption: December 1st, 1925. Somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle...

The Cotopaxi crew stare at the strange ship

Sailor 1: "Are we being invaded... by a cereal box?"
Ryqn: "Nope! Just sightseeing! Sort of."

The Cotopaxi vanishes inside a stasis bubble

FBE: "Oops. My bad."
Ryqn: "We just 'X-Files'ed' a freighter."

FBE and Ryqn chase the bubble through a time vortex

Ryqn: "It's stuck in an endless refresh loop!"
FBE: "Great, it's a ghost ship with lag."

News helicopters hover over the ghost ship off Florida

News Banner: "GHOST SHIP APPEARS - GOVERNMENT DENIES EVERYTHING"

Ryqn scrolls conspiracy posts on a screen

Screen Reads: "NEW THEORY: Ship hijacked by Atlanteans riding AI dolphins"
Ryqn: "We're trending!"

FBE notices a blinking warning at Xavier HQ

FBE: "That ship had cargo, right?"
Sound FX: ominous BEEP BEEP
