As the black box data was displayed, the final moments of the yacht played out. The CEOs had been ordered to evacuate the ship after it came under attack. The last message mentioned a ring leader described as “gentlemanly,” eerily mimicking Ezra Miner’s motives and techniques.
Ezra frowned as he watched the footage. “Why would anyone impersonate me? I’ve always robbed from the corrupt to give to the poor, but this… this is different.”
Spacedawg called the meeting to order. “Alright, everyone. We need to get to the bottom of this. Ezra, any idea who might be doing this?”
Ezra shook his head. “No clue. But whoever it is, they’ve studied me closely.”
The team continued to analyze the video footage, focusing on the ring leader’s mannerisms and style. The impersonator wore clothing similar to Ezra’s and mimicked his Robin Hood-like escapades.

They’re equipped with locator beacons.”
Spacedawg nodded. “Let’s do it. Begin scanning for the life pods.”
The Mandoleer’s Folly’s advanced sensors swept the surrounding space, locking onto the faint signals from the life pods. Within hours, the pods were retrieved, and the CEOs were arrested.
As the CEOs were led away in handcuffs, Spacedawg addressed the team. “Another corrupt company taken down. Good work, everyone. But the mystery of Ezra’s impersonator still looms. We need to find out who this person is and why they’re doing this.”
Ezra, though relieved that the CEOs were captured, remained troubled. “Someone’s out there using my name for their own gain. We need to stop them before they cause more harm.”
Spacedawg placed a reassuring hand on Ezra’s shoulder. “We’ll get to the bottom of this, Ezra. You’re part of our team now, and we won’t let this go unanswered.”
The meeting adjourned, leaving the crew of the Mandoleer’s Folly with a new mission. The impersonator was still out there, and their motives were unclear. But with determination and unity, they knew they could face any challenge ahead.
