Final: Orange
Down the Staircase: Backdated to Day Seven
Those who were investigating the sigil or fighting crabs nearby would be aware of the ground rumbling as a spiral staircase opened into the dark sand below.
Of course it is less a staircase at the bottom of the ocean and more a terrifying water helter-skelter downwards through the dark.
But they land in an underground cave. It is dark, and ankle deep in water. In the centre there is a white marble plinth, with a large empty shell on top. The walls of the cave are dark and grimy but with the aid of the torches in their SCA's and some investigating will find a hint of colours underneath the sand and seaweed on the walls.
Between day seven and day ten
The crabs are still attacking. It is not a never ending siege but it pays to be vigilant as every so often crabs arrive to launch an attack on the sleeping citizens. Luckily they don't seem to be able to get into the underground chamber, perhaps being too large or unwilling to enter through the twisting passage.
Inside the cave the water is slowly rising, by day ten of the month of Fiddlesticks it reaches the average voidtrecker's chest.
The plinth is tall, above the voidtreckers' heads and so hasn't been submerged yet.
Assuming they have begun to clear the sand and seaweed off the walls of the cave a picture begins to emerge. Simple drawings, very similar to those on the tablets in the market place.
Day Ten
Light from the sky, an island. People gathered around a fire. Beacon. Symbols are helpfully translated for them. A plinth. No, two plinths with shells on them filled with light.
All very useful. If only they had any way to share their ideas with the others.
Which is when their SCA's glow and a holographic screen appears.
Meanwhile on the train...
By day ten the storm hits with a vengeance. Waves are high, rain falls practically sideways. The train holds out well, staying in place and upright through the battering seas. Going out to dive is nerve wracking and there might be some cases of seasickness in those remaining on the train.
It is all in all not a great sea faring experience.

"It's a grueling grind, searching for answers down there. Your support kept me going. And next time you'll come back even stronger---you've always been strong, Yugi. I just couldn't see it before. It's easy to throw your weight around when you're CEO of the biggest tech company...but your ability to naturally make connections with people and change their outlook is even more valuable in a time like this."
He sighs and settles peacefully in Yugi's lap. "You'll find your way. And I'll help you get there."

"I guess I just needed a reminder of that, which considering what I managed to go through, should have made that one obvious, but being in a new setting you kind of forget." He admitted before looking at the other.
"Though I find your ability to be creative when it comes to technology to be valuable. It shows that you can at least think outside the box when it needs to be and that's why it's great that you do go down... I just wished you had slept more." It was why he was planning on at least sticking around while the other slept so that he actually would.
"But hey, we'll help each other when we need to, okay. Like I am helping you sleep by being here and I won't leave until you actually do, even if I have to sit here the whole time."
