AI co-write: ^^^Plot To Poison^^^ -alt acc story-

As the crew listened intently, Peso looked around. "Where's Barnacles?"

Tweak's expression hardened. "It doesn't matter," she said, her voice cold. "He's not the captain anymore."

Peso frowned, sensing the tension. "What happened while I was gone?"

The crew exchanged uneasy glances, the weight of their recent struggles hanging heavy in the air.

"and what was that you needed to figure out?" Tweak asked "Someone is after one of us..." Peso said... "Oh Great somebody outside and Barnacles is evil!" tweak said, Peso looked confused "He poisoned shellington..." tweak explained "did you guys order from Surfside Bites?" Peso said... "Yes..?" Tweak said "The poisoned food was meant for Barnacles.... someone is After him..." Peso said... 

Barnacles walked past the group, heading towards the entrance to collect his delivery from Surfside Bites. He kept his head down, avoiding eye contact with the others. The tension in the room was palpable, but he chose to ignore it, focusing instead on the small comfort of his meal.

"Barnacles, wait!" Peso called out, his voice urgent.

Barnacles paused for a moment but then continued walking, not wanting to engage with the group. Peso moved to follow him, but Kwazii stepped in front of him, blocking his path.

"Hold on, Peso," Kwazii said, his tone demanding. "What do you mean someone is after Barnacles? And how do you know the poison that got Shellington was meant for him?"

Peso looked around at the confused faces of his teammates. "I did some investigating while I was away. I found out that someone has been targeting Barnacles. The poisoned food from Surfside Bites was meant for him, not Shellington."

Dashi crossed her arms, skepticism clear on her face. "And how can we be sure you're right? This sounds pretty far-fetched."

Peso's expression was serious. "I know it sounds unbelievable, but I have evidence. I just need you all to trust me."

Kwazii's eyes narrowed. "Trust is a bit hard to come by right now, Peso. Especially with everything that's happened."

Tweak looked conflicted, glancing between Peso and the retreating figure of Barnacles. "If what you're saying is true, then we need to figure out who's behind this. But it's hard to believe after everything we've seen."

Peso sighed, understanding their hesitation. "I get it. But we need to work together to protect Barnacles and find out who's really responsible."

The team exchanged uneasy glances, still unsure of what to believe. The weight of recent events hung heavily over them, and trust was a fragile thing.

Dashi sighed... Looking at Peso, she didn't really Believe him... Why would somebody go after their former captain?

Dashi sighed, her skepticism evident as she looked at Peso. "Why would someone go after our former captain? It just doesn't make sense."

Peso took a deep breath, trying to convey the urgency of the situation. "I don't know much about this person. All I know is that they know Barnacles and they were trying to poison him."

Kwazii frowned, still confused. "But how did you find out about this? And why didn't you come to us for help?"

Peso hesitated, avoiding Kwazii's gaze. "I can't explain everything right now. I just needed to warn Barnacles before it was too late."

Dashi shook her head, her doubt clear. "It's hard to believe, Peso. We've been through so much, and now you're telling us there's some mysterious enemy targeting Barnacles?"
