The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBrightbill leads the flock home, and the island explodes with cheers. Fink says Roz stayed — for him. The gosling runs to find her, then stops: a huge ship sits on the shore. A smiling retrieval officer introduces herself as Vontra from Universal Dynamics. She is programmed to put targets at ease, then cheerfully admits she is unfeeling, inflexible and morally neutral. The smile is how they collect you.
