Answer to 9A seems to be WINTER SOLSTICE.

15A Shock reported after vessel departs first, 9ac means they're going (4,4) ?A?? ?A?S

Really struggling this week, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Dark Days, they lessen after the winter solstice, the days get long. D, departs (firs/letter) +Ark, vessel +Days, sounds like Daze, shock reported.
