Barnacles was taken aback, confusion and sadness washing over him. He had never been good at solving real mysteries, only those in games. But he said nothing, accepting the demotion with a heavy heart.

As he walked away, the weight of his new role pressed heavily on him. He knew he had to find the real culprit and clear his name, but the path ahead seemed daunting and uncertain.

"I can't believe you'd do this..." Tweak said.... Glaring at the former Captain.... Barnacles sighed, he walked to his room and locked the door...

Two weeks later, Barnacles found himself on another mission with Dashi, Kwazii, and Tweak. With Kwazii and Dashi acting as co-captains, the dynamic felt strained and awkward. Kwazii hadn't fully embraced the role, and the tension was palpable.

As they navigated through a treacherous underwater canyon, something went wrong. A sudden rockslide blocked their path, and the GUP was caught in the debris. The situation quickly escalated, and panic set in.

"Barnacles, what are you doing? You're supposed to be helping!" Dashi snapped, her frustration evident.

Kwazii's voice was equally harsh. "You're just making things worse. Stay out of the way if you can't handle it."

Barnacles tried to assist, but their words cut deep, and he felt more isolated than ever. Tweak, who had always been a source of support, looked away, unable to meet his eyes. The mission was eventually salvaged, but the damage to their trust was clear.

For the next three weeks, Barnacles threw himself into his new role as Detective, trying to uncover what had happened to Shellington. He pored over every detail, every clue, but the answers eluded him. The frustration and sense of failure grew with each passing day.

Finally, exhausted and disheartened, Barnacles gave up. He couldn't solve the mystery, and the trust between him and the team continued to falter. The once-strong bond they shared seemed to be unraveling, and Barnacles felt more alone than ever.

Kwazii went into barnacles room... "Barnacles, we need you to do something..." Kwazii said...

Barnacles looked up as Kwazii entered his room. "Barnacles, we need you to do something," Kwazii said, his tone firm.

Barnacles nodded, standing up. "What is it?"

Kwazii explained the task, and Barnacles set out to complete it. However, things quickly went awry. The equipment malfunctioned, and the situation nearly spiraled out of control. Barnacles managed to avert disaster, but it was a close call.

As they returned to the Octopod, Kwazii's frustration boiled over. "You almost got us into serious trouble again, Barnacles! Can't you do anything right?"

Barnacles didn't respond. He simply walked away, the weight of Kwazii's words heavy on his shoulders. He felt more isolated than ever, the trust between him and the crew seemingly beyond repair.

A week later, feeling the need for some comfort, Barnacles decided to order from Surfside Bites again. As he placed his order, he hoped for a brief respite from the tension that had become his constant companion.

Meanwhile, Kwazii and Tweak were on a mission when they stumbled upon a miraculous sight: Peso, alive and well. They quickly brought him back to the Octopod, their hearts filled with relief and joy.

Inkling, upon seeing Peso, immediately began questioning him. "Peso, we thought you were dead. What happened?"

Peso took a deep breath, his eyes serious. "I had to figure something out before I could come back. There was something important I needed to uncover."
