The main story of Tip The Ferrymen!

PANEL 1: The spirit looks annoyed, saying Yeah, well, I ain't doin' that! Nathan replies Why not?! PANEL 2: The spirit gestures at Mai, saying Cause I can keep 'em away from you! Dolly here will tell ya, my Spec can distract 'em! PANEL 3: Mai nervously looks away, but affirms by replying That's...true. It's smoggy, though. Very hard to breathe around. PANEL 4: Nathan looks back at Mai, suspicious. He asks Wait, you can hear him? PANEL 5: He turns to fully face Mai, asking How can you--? PANEL 6: Nathan looks down and sees the spirit box in Mai's hand.
PANEL 1: Nathan points at the spirit. And you, he says, What's your name? The spirit crosses his arms and replies Oh, like you give a damn. PANEL 2: Nathan turns on his heel, waving his hand as he walks away. He says You're right, maybe I shouldn't. Because you should be leaving. PANEL 3: Eddie tries to gently approach Nathan, softly saying Nathan-- PANEL 4: Nathan turns around again and cuts Eddie off. He shouts I was talkin' to a ghost, Pierce! You saw that purple light, that's our kidnapper! They just chased us down and tried to get their hands on him! He should phase through the wall and get out of here!
PANEL 1: Eddie catches up with Nathan, the others trailing behind him. He says Nate, you can't go running off like that! You know it's not safe. PANEL 2: Nathan ignores him. He looks over his shoulder and says Mai. PANEL 3: He turns and points directly at her, making her tense up. Nathan says You have some explaining to do. PANEL 4: Mai puts her hands together, holding her radio close and looking down in shame. She says Cap'n, I-- PANEL 5: The spirit pushes past Mai, putting a hand on her head which inadvertently causes it to sink into her. It's like he's possessing her. Mai reacts to this in surprise, but the Spirit doesn't seem to notice. He points accusingly at Nathan, saying Hey, she doesn't have to explain shit to you!
PANEL 1: The spirit floats next to Mai, asking her You okay, Dolly? PANEL 2: With her Spec active, Mai grits her teeth and sighs. PANEL 3: She puts her headphones on and says I will be. PANEL 4: Mai begins following Nathan and Eddie, her Spec slowly fading out. We see the spirit is colored in red under her Spec view. He is surrounded by red cracks.
PANEL 1: Nathan walks away from the group. He is colored in a dark purple, while the rest of the group is colored in continuously lighter colors. Eddie is the darkest, then the spirit, and Mai is the lightest. PANEL 2: Eddie steps forward, a concerned look on his face. PANEL 3: Mai puts a hand on Eddie's shoulder. PANEL 4: Eddie turns to face Mai, who says to him Be- Be careful, he's... PANEL 4: Mai's Spec activates. She's colored green and is surrounded by purple bubbles. She says God, that's a lot, okay-- PANEL 5: Eddie nods, looking determined.
PANEL 1: Nathan turns fully to face the group. He looks distressed as he shouts Who was that?! PANEL 2: Eddie reaches a hand out to Nathan, slow and gentle. He says Nathan, hey-- PANEL 3: Nathan flinches away, hugging himself, and he shouts Don't touch me! Eddie pulls his hand back in surprise. PANEL 4: Nathan turns back to face the rubble, we can only see the lower half of his face. Nathan says We need to keep going. That-- that bastard could burst through the rubble at any moment. The others look at Nathan in concern, except for the Spirit, who stares at him almost annoyed.
