As Kirche maneuvered his boat up the narrow canal he noticed that the usually busy docks were silent. All the normal cargo ships were there, but they seemed unoccupied. Unmoved by this, Kirche proceeded to his usual dock. When he pulled up next to it he fished two lines out of the water, and tied one to the bow, and one to the stern. Then activated a motor that pulled the boat up to the dock. When the boat was secure Kirche jumped off and headed into the shop to get the engine fixed. Unfortunately, he could find no one in the shop. he walked out front to see if they were just having a smoke, and noticed the mess of cars outside. After that it took Kirche mere moments to see that no one was still alive around here.
