Those of you aboard the Panlong, I have a request.
We met with a very strange fellow who should be arriving in your midst very shortly. He's covered in bandages and has a straggly dog with him. [Sort of hard to miss.] He's been stranded aboard the atolls for some time now. He can't tell us how long.
[But that's really not the point, is it?]
He's...a bit of a cryptic man [thing?]. Something is very, very odd about him. [Which is putting it mildly.] He mentioned something about leprosy as well, so I would be wary of touching him if you can help it. He's asked to come with us, but he hasn't specified to where.
With all that's going on with the Grasper and the mermaids, and the ships chasing us, I don't think his appearance is coincidence. It never is. We've seen some of the same people, time and time again [like Tobi] but...I've never seen him before. It's possible he's a native of this world, of course, but-- I just don't know. He might just be the key to ensuring the end of this Jaunt. We need to keep an eye on him.
[She's not certain what a sickly man in bandages can do, however, to keep them safe from the Grasper.]
...And speaking of trouble, what exactly are we doing to try to warn our fellow seafarers about what's coming for us? Has anyone had any luck in convincing the captains of the danger?

[He's not exactly married to this theory, but the possibility doesn't hurt to consider.]

[But something seems different this time.]
I don't know enough about this world to be convinced that he's a native here.

Context can throw a lot off about recognizing someone. It's possible he's a familiar face we don't see around as much.
Or if we think he really doesn't seem native at all, in the same way that we don't - it's possible he's someone like us, not one of them. I'd like to think we're pretty good at keeping track of who pops up in Liminal Space before we're out of it again, but we're not infallible. Though in that case...it'd raise the question of why he didn't start out in the same place as the rest of us, too.
