Summary
Months after the whole continent of Australia has been connected to the chiral network, Sam receives an urgent call while on route to finish a delivery. A disruption in the tar currents has been detected, and he is asked to investigate. With an uneasy feeling, Sam accepts the request and soon finds himself face to face with an old enemy, who should very much not be alive. Unable to ignore this turn of events, the crew members of the DHV Magellan are forced to take Higgs Monaghan into custody.
-----------------------------------------
This work is canon-compliant as far as the main story of both games is concerned and takes place after the events of DS2. Anything that happens from here on out is me sprinkling my own salt onto the story the way I interpret these characters. Enjoy.

Summary
"So," Higgs said, suddenly much closer than he'd been a moment before, "hypothetically speaking, if we were to, say, detonate this lovely little device in, oh..." He tapped the display. "Forty-five minutes and twelve seconds from now... where would you want to be watching from?"
Sam didn't break stride. "Another city."
Higgs laughed, the sound bouncing off the corridor walls in overlapping waves. "Always so dramatic. I was thinking more along the lines of that nice rooftop by the old financial district. You know the one — where you pretended not to be watching me through your binoculars for three hours last July."
"I was scanning for chiral concentrations."
"Mmm. And what concentration were you hoping to find in my pants?"

Summary
"You’re still thinking in straight lines, Sam," he murmured, his voice a velvet rasp. "Life, death, cause and effect — such quaint concepts. The Stranding tore all that apart. Didn’t you notice?"
He gestured lazily to the ceiling, where the roof yawned open into a swirling mass of golden clouds, a false sky stitched together from the remnants of the Beach. "Time’s a flat circle here. Everything that’s ever happened is happening right now. And everything that will happen?" He grinned, wide and unhinged. "Well, it’s already over."
He spread his arms, the sleeves of his robe falling back to reveal wrists lined with writings — some old, some fresh, as if he’d been testing the limits of his own flesh. "Gods are just monsters people pray to. And monsters?" He leaned in, close enough that Sam could see the way his pupils dilated, swallowing the blue of his irises whole. "Monsters are the only things left that mean anything."

Summary
"Sam, I know that you normally refuse human cargo, but I’m not sure I trust anyone else to handle this."
Sam didn’t need to know who his cargo was, he didn’t need to know what the specifics were of their past, or what would happen to them once they were delivered. The less Sam knew the better. It would be a whole lot easier for both of them if he kept his distance, and just did his job. Right?
~
It should have been like any other job. Collect the cargo, deliver it in one piece, and move on. Sam didn't like to get attached, and he certainly avoided making connections whenever possible. However, this delivery would prove to go a lot different from what he had planned.
