While taking time off in Fullon Station, Cylvis was relaxing in one of the station's bars when she was approached by her old associate Gobs. Gobs, looking somewhat animated, explained that he was turning in his favor. He needed her to smuggle a group of six people off the station. The two conversed over the finer details for a time before Cylvis agreed.

Shortly afterwards she met her passengers. Their leader, an grizzled elvish man, informed her that their destination was the city of Jotun in Southern Ishtar and they needed to arrive undetected. Clyvis, though doing a favor for Gobs, insisted on payment before she would allow them on her ship. The haggard elf tossed her a bag of credits, which she inspected. Satisfied with the amount, Clyvis confirmed she would honor Gobs' request and see them to Jotun. She informed the group they would have to stay in her cargo hold for the duration of the flight. Though some of them initially protested, they agreed on the condition that the familiar of one of their number would ride with her to ensure she was honoring their arrangement. Clyvis, slightly perturbed, nonetheless assented, and the group set off at once.

About a day's travel later, Cylvis and her passengers arrived in the starport of Jotun. She managed to get her passengers out of the cargo hold without any officials noticing. Before leaving, she proposed that if the group needed any further assistance from her, she would be willing to assist, provide they had the means to pay. With this, she gave the elf her contact details and left the group to their own devices.
