The night the boat got quiet, a broken collar got a new name, and the crew discovered the real enemy wasn't just bad tech—it was MyDAD (Default's Always Dead). Now they're building something better: 6-7syncs, MyMAH, and WinsGiving Boost Tables where families can walk without fear.
The Night the Boat Got Quiet
After the dove stayed on the rail and the gunshots echoed away behind them, the 4Wins5 Mill grew very quiet. The river sloshed softly along the hull. The stars blinked overhead. Somewhere on the chart, names like Hoppie's Marina and Memphis Yacht Club waited, but tonight the Pilgrims weren't talking about ports.
They were thinking about a collar. The one collar shared onboard the ship—the one that had broken. The one that had once been called Sync.
Braveheart turned the cracked shell over in his hooves. The gold looked dull now, like someone had taken the "LOVE LOVE" out of it.
"We meant this to help," he whispered. "And the old system turned it into a target."
Bionic Finns hovered in his water bubble, fins trembling with anger. He could still hear the gunshots and see the way the cardinal and deer had fought the current to bring Sync home.
"Sync" Is Not Enough Anymore
The crew gathered around the table. Thera-B buzzed slowly, not her usual quick zip. Teddy set his helmet down beside a map full of stops and scribbled notes: Cape Muddy, Alton, St. Charles, St. Louis… and many more names trailing down the Mississippi, all the way toward the Panama Canal and San Diego.
"We can't send this collar back out there as 'Sync,'" Thera-B said.
"The old world grabbed the name," Teddy added, "and twisted it into Synchronized Compliance—a way to make everyone march the same, not heal."
Bionic Finns flicked his tail.
"Then we rename it properly," he said. "What if we call it something the kids would actually trust? Something that sounds like them—like a crew, not a cage. Six or seven friends syncing up, not one system forcing everyone into line."
Braveheart's eyes lit up. "6-7syncs. Like a squad. Like a team you choose, not one that chooses you."
They all nodded. The collar would now be 6-7syncs—not a spying Sync forced on people, but a crew-based, family-owned helper, always customizable, always built around the people and pets who wear it together.
And most of all, 6-7syncs would do what Sync never quite got to finish: help the nourished side of the fish finally swim out of the broken glass.
Letting the Fish Out of the Broken Tank
On the table, Teddy pulled out a sketch of the Bionic Finn fish: one half thin and gray from the Malnourished Proto-State, the other half bright and strong from the Nourished Bionic State. The glass around it was cracked from battles with Land Gators and old-world rules.
"Sync tried to live inside this glass," Teddy said. "6-7syncs helps the fish get out."
In story terms, that meant a huge change. 6-7syncs would no longer just measure whether families were behaving. It would help them receive the 4Wins5 Economic Boost—the kind of support that lets malnourished hearts and wallets breathe again.
Braveheart looked up, eyes shining now, not with anger but with a stubborn kind of hope.
"If we do this right," he said, "pets and people can walk freely around this yacht… and someday on dry land… without feeling like Default's Always Dead is hanging over their heads."
Thera-B Names the Enemy: MyDAD
Thera-B landed gently on the broken Sync shell.
"We need to call the bad system by its real name," she said. "Kids keep thinking it's their fault. Parents keep thinking it's theirs. It isn't. It's MyDAD."
The others looked at her.
"MyDAD?" Braveheart asked.
Thera-B drew tiny letters in honey on the table:
MyDAD = Default's Always Dead.
MyDAD was the old economy that said:
"There is no emotional Boost for you."
"You only get outside loans to keep you from falling through, never inside boosts to help you rise."
"If you slip once, you are always behind."
MyDAD made families too scared, too tired, and too ashamed to even let the Pilgrims' gifts in.
"It's the feeling," Thera-B explained softly, "that the math is always against you—no matter how kind you are, no matter how hard you try."
MyMAH and the 4Wins5 Economic Boost
Bionic Finns swam a slow circle.
"Then our collar can't just be about behavior," he said. "It has to be about MyMAH."
On the chart beside MyDAD, Teddy wrote:
MyMAH = My Mental & Animal Health Credit System.
Where MyDAD measured late payments and broken rules, MyMAH would measure:
Thera-Nudges that stopped fights before they started
Calm breaths after scary robocalls
Moments where a child chose to put the screen down and play
Grandparents who listened instead of lectured
Dogs and cats who stayed by a heart until it stopped racing
Each of those moments would earn a tiny 4Wins5 Economic Boost—not money first, but proof of emotional freedom. Proof that love and practice were still happening in that family.
Those Boosts would live in a wearable wallet inside the 6-7syncs collar. Only the family and their trusted Digital Protector Coach (DPC) could scan them. Courts, advertisers, and MyDAD calculators would never get a copy.
Should the Boat Change Its Name Too?
For a moment, Teddy wondered out loud:
"If our economy is changing, should our boat's name change too? From 4Wins5 Mill, 'Only legal on the seas,' to Upright USA?"
Braveheart shook his head thoughtfully.
"Not yet," he said. "The Mill is still what keeps us floating while the land is dangerous. Upright USA is the promise we sail toward. We'll need more WinsGiving meetings and meals—more proof that the Boost works—before we can stand fully upright on shore."
Everyone agreed. The boat could stay 4Wins5 Mill for now, but every port where WinsGiving meals and Boost-sharing happened would be a little patch of upright ground along the way.
WinsGiving Meals as the Boost Tables
They decided that from now on, every WinsGiving meeting and meal would be more than just a party. It would be:
A place where 6-7syncs collars could safely glow and log MyMAH credits.
A table where families brought their MyDAD stories—debts, fights, fears—and set them down next to honeycombs of hope.
A chance for Pilgrims to share Selfies Wellness pages, Thera-B Honeycomb practices, and 4Wins5 Justeaseguidance for the next four-win move.
The potential success of 6-7syncs and the 4Wins5 Economic Boost gave the crew new energy. They could almost see it: future docks from Tunica to New Orleans where kids and seniors walked freely, pets trotting beside them with quiet, safe collars that held more love than numbers.
A New Name for a New Year
By the end of the night, the crew had wiped off the old name from the cracked shell. Sync would stay in their memories as a warning.
But the future, they decided, would belong to 6-7syncs, to MyMAH, and to a river full of small, quiet Boosts—so that one day, when the 4Wins5 Mill finally reached Upright USA, pets and people could walk off the gangplank without MyDAD still shouting in their ears.
And that, they agreed, was worth every sketch, every meeting, and every WinsGiving meal they could host along the way.
