Robin is making a delivery by the docks – ALERT! … food delivery, every taco to a group of longshoremen. Hostage sitch at the ship Springbank – thieves have taken the crew hostage. Bomb threat. Principle of Speed … okay, but twist (longshoremen disappointed because no time to chat). Hero Point!
ASIST has partnered with a 9-foot tall gorilla and a mysterious mermaid.
Gogo - gorilla? awesome! we’ll get along great.
Joey - working out with shipping containers. Leg rep, arm rep.
ALERT! Lower it to the ground. Should be able to get there fairly quickly.
Jalpari – A mermaid? That’s weird!
Jalpari - Late-night sushi bar at the docks. On the docks. Other aquatic personalities frequent it, too. On-land, a young Persian woman. ALERT! Finish her sushi, step out door and into the water.
Large, rust-orange cargo ship. Hostages … and team mates.
