== The Veiled Terror ==
Dribner saw Billie Lurk trying to appeal to the philosophers about the danger the world was in after the fall of the Outsider, a vacuum had been created and rifts in the fabric of reality were sprouting up where the two dimensions were being pulled apart. After her appeal failed despite being an acquaintance of Anton Sokolov as she was about to leave then he quickly tried to find and he eventually met Billie.
He introduced himself to her and told her about his research that he had been conducting his own analysis on the Void Hollows with information from Sokolov revealed that the rifts were linked and as the Void sheared away from their world while expanding it would soon be the end of everything. And because the Outsider had fallen, all those who were gifted magic through his mark were not left without it.
He told Billie that she still held a link to the Void through her arm and eye, she was the only one who could resolve the issue. However, it meant that she couldn't indulge in using Green Lady as it dulled her mind and her connection to the Void. So with no other choice she chose to forego it as he directed her towards where the Void Hollows were being artificially expanded, Alba. There had been a civil war between the King and Queen that lasted for three days and left the city in ruins when a rift in the Void tore the city in half, and now they were taking in people from all over the world to help with the rebuilding.
Later when Billie destroyed Void Shadow and Dribner was informed about it. Then he went to Dunwall Tower where Empress Emily Kaldwin thanked her as she returned the Twin-bladed Knife then he approached Billie while stating they would be working on closing the rifts before leaving her to talk with Martha.
