AS The Argo neared the Busan coastline, the ship slowed, gliding smoothly toward a quiet, secluded dock. The city's skyline stretched out in the distance, a mix of modern buildings and rolling hills, while the surrounding water shimmered under the afternoon sun. The faint buzz of the city grew louder as they approached.
The crew moved quickly, securing the ship with practiced ease as it came to a stop. The gangway was lowered, and the contestants gathered on the deck, their excited conversations filling the air.
"Look at the skyline! It's huge!"
"I've never been to Busan before—this is insane."
"Do you think they'll let us explore after the mission?"
"Doubt it. We're here to work, not sightsee."
"Still, the seafood here is supposed to be amazing."
"What do you think the next mission will be?"
"How long do you think we'll stay here?"
As the excited chatter continued, a staff member suddenly stepped forward with a megaphone in hand.
