Tanaka practices using a samurai sword outside, while the TV plays the news inside.
"Naval authorities report that the research vessel Seahawk is missing at sea. Rescue teams are combing the area for its last known position. So far, there are no signs of the vessel. These pictures were taken two days ago when it left on its mission. Details of that mission are being kept secret, but sources tell SSTV that everything seemed to be going well until early this morning when the crew radioed to report heavy fog."
Chris, Chuck, Sonic, and Y/N are watching the news, while Tails is playing a game of Jenga with Cream and Cheese.
"See? That's why I can't stand water." Sonic said who still have fear of water.
"Oh give me a break." Y/N rolled her eyes.
"You like it if it's in a glass. That's a start." Cream said.
Sonic displays many sweatdrops, causing Tails to crack a smile and Y/N to snicker.
"Maybe the ship hit something after it went into the fog." Chris guessed.
"A ship like that has instruments that let it nagivate through fog safety. There may be something else going on here." Chuck said.
"What do you mean, Grandpa?"
"What if Seahawk's disappearance wasn't an accident? Other vessels have encountered strange phenomena in that area. Perhaps we should take a yacht and have a look..."
"Does that mean you're going out on the ocean?" Cream asked.
"Yes, that's possible."
Cream's eyes shimmer with unshed tears.
"You're thinking that Emel's down there somewhere." Chris frowned.
"Hey, Cream! I'm gonna go outside and pick a whole bunch of flowers. Wanna join us?" Sonic said as Y/N nodded along.
Cream smiled.
"Sure! We can give them to my mom and Ella."
"Chao chao!" Cheese said.

A car pulls up at the front of the mansion. Ella answers the door to see that her visitors are Knuckles and an adult human with a tan complexion, short grayish brown hair, and gray eyes. For attire, he wears a maroon jacket and trousers. Underneath his jacket, he also wears a black shirt.
"Ah, hello, Knuckles." Ella greeted.
"Very nice to meet you, Ella." Knuckles greeted back.
Ella turned to the man.
"Uh... have we met before?"
"No, Madam, but I'm delighted to make your aquaintance now."
"Dr. Cadberry!"
Knuckles and Dr. Cadberry turn around to see Tanaka holding a rake.
"Tanaka! You were in my archaeology class years ago!"
"Your perfect memory has not failed you! That class changed my entire life, Doctor!"
Tanaka covers his face to hide his tears of joy.
"You mean that's what inspired you to become a butler?" Dr. Cadberry asked.
"Yes. You taught that household servants played a vital role throughout history."
Tanaka swings his rake around a little bit.
"You always were unique."
