About half a day has passed since they arrived at the shipyard, as both Hornsy and Grimmus headed out to deal with a roaming band of Skin bandits. That came into Ashland territory. Meanwhile, Savant and Beep were stood on the front wall watching the distance

Savant: hey

Beep: Beep?

Savant: I've been meaning to ask this; you ever wonder why we're here?

Beep:  one of life's great mysteries. Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God, that is not Beep, watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, but it keeps Beep up at night.

A moment of silence ensued as Savant tried to get his head around what he just said

Savant: umm...I mean why are we heading to an unknown land where we might possibly die?

Beep: oh, uh...yeah

More silence ensues

Savant: so, you want to talk about that

Beep: beep prefers not to

In the distance, both Hornsy and Grimmus are returning from their mission

Beep: is that Hornsy?!

As he tried to get a better look, he tripped and fell over onto a harpoon gun accidentally firing it causing it to sail pass Hornsy's head

Savant: SON OF A BITCH!

Hornsy: SON OF A BITCH!

Grimmus: SON OF A BITCH!

Hornsy: BEEP WTF, YOU ALMOST TOOK MY HEAD OFF!

Beep: SAVANT DID IT!

Savant: the fuck, no I didn't!
