### South Bay Crisis (449 ASB - present)

On M2-04 449 ASB Holloway arrived at the city of Skagalandi as a part of the crew of smuggler Sergeant Sludge. Holloway, Sludge and a fellow smuggler named Elizabeth Boner arrived at their destination that was revealed to be the office of Sebastian Walter, the governor of the Independent Governate of the South Bay. After meeting with Governor Walter Sludge and his crew were invited to dine with the governor as he mistook Sludge for a powerful Silt diplomat, at the dinner Holloway watched as Walter was shot in the back and through the chest by an unknown gunman who had attacked from a secret hole in the brick wall, Holloway ran over to check on the governor but after deciding that there was nothing he could do he took the governors neckless. Two of the guards present in the room broke through the brick wall and gave chase to the assassin only to be shot in his secret tunnel Holloway and Sludge aided in rescuing one of the guards named Mike O'Reilly and bringing him to a nearby hospital. Whilst in the hospital Holloway got into a fight with Doctor Hamilton over Hamilton being racist towards Holloway, the fight ended with Holloway being dragged outside of the city walls and placed on a cross, he remained on the cross until Sergeant Sludge convinced a guard to place Holloway under his custody. That night Sludge's ship sank whilst Holloway, Sludge and Boner were onboard, though they were unharmed the ship was destroyed and before they could do anything about it they were identified by a local guard as the three visitors who had been with Sebastian Walter when he died and had the trio arrested.

The trio spent the night in a Silt Fleet run holding cell before being brought before the head of the Silt Fleet Security Force in South Bay Calvin Barkley. Barkley explained to the trio that it was essential for the death of governor Walter not to be made public, he also explained that they were going to aid the Silt Fleet in locating the killer, when Sludge asked why they should Barkley made reference to being able to raise his ship, Barkley convinced Holloway and Boner to aid the Silt Fleet when they were shown several of their belongings that were aboard their ship and had their return promised. Barkley gave the trio three leads towards the killer, the house of Sebastian Walter's wife, the morgue where Walter's body was being stored and the government office where he was assassinated, he also gave Sludge several pieces of detecting equipment. The trio began their search in the house of the governor's wife Savanah, this lead led the trio nowhere. The next place that the group visited was the morgue where morgue master Alexander Sanders informed the trio that the governor had been killed using an X-12 Mega-Revolver which were only manufactured in the Clay Loam city of Ackanalund, as the trio was investigating Holloway struck up a conversation with a Sandy Clay Loam man who was mourning the loss of his friend Noah Orr who had died during the assassination of Sebastian Walter, Holloway traded Walter's necklace with the Sandy Clay Loam man for an X-12 Mega-Revolver, the man then ran off. After leaving the morgue Holloway's partners criticized him for seemingly letting the killer go, Holloway who was none to happy about these accusation left for a nearby brothel. Once in the brothel Holloway got into an argument with one of the workers there and discharged his X-12 Mega-Revolver into one of them he was beaten to the ground by the man's enraged co-workers and dragged to a nearby hospital by his companions.

Holloway spent the night in the hospital and in the morning of M2-06 449 ASB was greeted by Boner and Sludge who told him that the assassin had been killed and that they were off to return to Calvin Barkley to report their success. Once with Barkley Holloway was given back his belongings that amounted to little more than a sack of soggy clothes, Barkley went onto explain that one of the items recovered from the assassin was a contract commissioned by the Blue Tortoise assassins, that the payment for the assassination was an artifact called the "Orb of Radiance" and that the identifier of death was the governor's necklace. Barkley told the group that the seal on the letter would help them locate their hideout he also promised great rewards if they succeeded in eliminating the leader of the hideout. The trio located the hideout fairly easily and once inside located were misidentified as assassins who were transferring from the hideout in Abeheit, they quickly located the leader of the hideout Rhys Trevino who Sludge gave Walter's necklace to, the necklace was then given back to Sludge and the trio were then told that the Orb of Radiance would be given to them at by a man in the bottom of Rad Brad's Convenience Store in Briciole. Instead of killing Trevino the group decided that it would be best to collect the Orb of Radiance in Briciole, as they left the Blue Tortoise hideout they were warned that the water in Skagalandi had been poisoned and were given fresh water and an apple each. The trio left Skagalandi for the inland city of Briciole on beasts of burden that had been taken from Walter's assassin with Holloway riding out on a mule.

On their way to Briciole the group stopped to sleep for the night, Sludge chose to sleep in some reads and Boner chose to sleep on some badger mounds, Holloway chose to sleep in the middle of the road. Holloway was awoken by a group of travelers who assumed the Clay man to be unwell and escorted him back to Skagalandi. In the morning Holloway was given some fruit juice and sent on his way where he met with his two companions who had returned to Skagalandi to 'rescue' him, the party then departed once more for Briciole and arrived by late afternoon, once in the city Holloway traded his mule for a brown cow and applied for a laborer inspectors license before entering into Rad Brad's Convivence Store. Once in the store the trio were met with Rad Brad and were directed to the basement where they met Sectile Heord in an erratic state consuming blue powder, he gave the Orb of Radiance to Sludge in exchange for Walter's necklace. After leaving Rad Brad's basement Sergeant Sludge left Holloway and Boner to attend to what he referred to as "highly personal business", Holloway and Boner soon learnt from a floor bone of a festival taking place in the town and decided to attend said festival. The pair enjoyed the festival for some time until both Boner and Holloway got bored and decided to push a merchant cart down the street and were arrested for their actions, as they were being arrested two Clay Loams pulled out secret rifles and shot multiple people, Holloway didn't see much more before he was knocked unconscious and dragged away.

Holloway awoke a day later in a cell with the already awake Boner, when the guards discovered the pair awake they were brought before Baron Hector Amarillo of Briciole who explained to the pair that he wanted the pair to find out who was behind the attack at the festival, when Boner asked why he told them that he was convinced that the majority of his forces were on the payroll of either the Silt Fleet or the Clay Loam Empire, Holloway asked what was in it for them, all Amarillo said was "Freedom". As soon as the pair exited the Jaune Palace they were greeted by an ecstatic Sludge who seemed to desperately need the pair's help with his "highly personal business" as he wanted them to both "follow" and "help", they agreed and followed Sludge into a brothel. In the brothel Sludge ordered some chicken wings in chicken winger sauce, both Leroy and Elizabeth did not understand why they had been brought there, Sludge finished his wings approached the manager of the brothel and shot him in the head, Leroy wanted nothing to do with this and ran directly out of the building the last thing he saw in the brothel was Sludge dumping the man's body into a vat of chicken winger sauce. Later that day Holloway was approached by Elizabeth Boner and to his surprise Mike O'Reilly. O'Reilly explained to Holloway that Sludge had been tried with five murders during the brothel incident and had been sentenced to life serving in the Briciole Labour District and how he wished to free him from that place, Holloway agreed to help him.

After spending the night in a hotel the trio entered into the Briciole Labour District, leaving behind their weaponry. Their first stop was O'Reilly's house in the district where Holloway and Boner were given some cylinders to defend themselves.
