Story
Héctor is having trouble with his writing and asks the player for help.

Héctor has moved locations to Cipanku and is continuing to write his novel. He has decided that he is going to just write the novel with no plotting, as he cannot overcome the creative inertia otherwise. He asks that if you see him again to speak with him, then leaves to wander Cipanku.

Héctor has been inspired by Miyako Village to write a novel about airship captains. He's sure that this novel is the one, he can feel it! First, however, Héctor needs do do some research about the technical details of airships to make the story believable. The player thinks that they know just the airship captain...

The player speaks to Adia Turay, captain of the Narwhal, to try to get Héctor an interview. Unfortunately, Adia is not in the mood (is she ever?) to give an interview right now. Guess it's time to wait for the next island update!
