Namor, Meggan, and Paige work to find a mechanical repair to the Engine. While they learn more about its inner workings, Meggan’s affinity for the fae realm and Paige’s current form prove to offer certain advantages aiding in repair. However, they find they'll need something more than a wrench and elbow grease.
( Oh! That’s really, really new! I . . . I think I’m seeing where everything’s gone wrong. )

As the group searches for a solution, Jono, Jay and Pixie hit upon a potential answer.
( Though I am no engineer, with instruction, I might be able to repair your machine. )

Settled into their lodgings on the Isle of Man, the members of eXcalibur are interrupted during breakfast by the arrival of subject matter expert Jono and special guest Paige.
( Fairy tales – hopefully ones that will lead us to a breach. Just a day of fieldwork in eXcalibur. )
***
The team spend the afternoon canvasing the town, but split up as the location of the dimensional tear is narrowed based on what stories they can gather. The group splits – Paige heading back by herself, then Jay and Jono, leaving only Namor, Meggan, and Pixie to investigate the tear.
( Since when did people ride horses through town? )
( Could it be a manifestation of the portal they sought? )
( And then the dust came in. )

The underwater team succeed in finding the outpost, however the situation’s not all’s well that ends well when Namor’s ideas don’t endear him to the local nymph.
