Author's notes: Well as usual, I'm late. I don't know why I expected not to be. First off, thank you to the mods for another great ACBB! Even though I stress and lament and get frustrated, I still love doing this challenge. I wouldn't get any stories written full out if I didn't (clearly as I still have ones I need to update...). And thank you to chocobo_lulu. for your lovely art. We have both been insanely busy for the past few months and are still struggling to get things done so those lovely pieces will be posted later. You are so talented and it was a pleasure to work with you. Last but not least, thank you to p3rfectlyn0rmalx for beta-ing and all your support and cheering and listening to me complain.

Summary: Morgana has disappeared while taking a solo cruise to Alaska (Yes, Alaska. Why the hell anyone would want to take a cruise there of all places, Arthur hasn't the slightest clue). Her disappearance is quickly labeled as an accidental man overboard and then a suicide and the case closed.
But Arthur knows better.
After exhausting all avenues and getting no answers, Arthur decides to follow Morgana's last known whereabouts by booking the same cruise on the same ship, with the same crew. He's determined to find the truth about what happened to his half sister and why the cruise line refuses to claim responsibility but in order do to that he'll need to find out what the crew saw and knows. And for that, he'll start with the cabin steward assigned to Morgana's stateroom, the one who first noticed her missing and raised the alarm, the first to starting digging into her disappearance. He needs to find Merlin.
