The Shooting Star pirates were discovered by Chef, Shiloh Krallenxia, Jo'Han Dough, and Erato after being directed to do so by Copper and with the help from Domino Wittenmyer. Kather informed them that she was the captain and welcomed the group to her humble abode. However, in exchange for a place to stay she informed them that they needed to work for her.
