The party carried out a targeted purge aboard the quarantined vessel, confronting and eliminating four individuals identified as threats to Harold Drekanov and Viroc Industries. While most targets were removed with finality, one was interrogated and released under mysterious circumstances. As the operation concluded, a powerful presence manifested, leaving the party with a rare sense of clarity and hope.

Harold Drekanov provided the party with five specific names to be dealt with while the ship remained under quarantine. This task was presented as a necessary internal purge of the VSS Dominion, serving as a test of the party's lethality and loyalty. Harold indicated that this was only the first phase of their cooperation, with further assignments expected once the party reached the shore and the corporate landscape of St. Petersgrad shifted.

The party methodically hunted down and executed Father Alexei Krovic, Mikhail Dren, Evgeni Karsov, and Silen Koresh. Each encounter was handled with clinical efficiency, and the targets offered little resistance once they realized they had been cornered by Harold's new strike team. These swift removals emphasized the cold reality of the mission: these were not individuals meant for interrogation or detention, but obstacles to be erased before the ship docked.

Kaz Vetrov was the only individual on the list taken alive for questioning. Visibly terrified and bordering on instability, he revealed that the VSS Dominion may have harbored a dark intent during its voyage to Svalbard. Despite his obvious fear, he provided limited new information beyond confirming the deep-seated corruption within the crew. Following the questioning, Viktor asked Kaz if he could swim; upon receiving a positive answer, Viktor allowed him to flee. Kaz was last seen running through the ship's corridors in a desperate attempt to escape before the rest of the party or Harold’s loyalists could intervene.

Following the final execution in Silen Koresh’s stateroom, the atmosphere shifted as a powerful presence manifested during Viktor's prayers. The air grew heavy and warm, a physical sensation that was unmistakable to the entire party. While Viktor was the only one to speak directly with the presence—though its identity and specific demands remained shrouded in mystery—the effect on Bogdan was profound. He received no audible words but was instead left with an overwhelming sense of hope, providing a stark contrast to the ambiguity that has defined his previous spiritual encounters.

By the end of the hour, the party believed their task was complete and the internal threats to Harold’s command were neutralized. At approximately 11:00 a.m., with only one hour of quarantine remaining, the party stood prepared for their imminent release. They now wait to reach the docks of St. Petersgrad, anticipating further instructions from Harold Drekanov as they step into a city already reeling from the dragon's arrival.
