Chapter 4: Seeking Help

Max arrives, skeptical but curious. Riley introduces Zarn, and Max is initially taken aback but quickly shifts into problem-solving mode. He examines Zarn's sketches and asks questions. Zarn tries to explain their technology, and Max starts to grasp the basics. Max suggests they visit his workshop, where he has more tools and resources. Zarn hesitates but agrees, trusting Riley. They make plans to transport parts of the ship discreetly, avoiding suspicion from neighbors and authorities.
