Transcrição

Panel 1 : La lumière de la lanterne inonde la cale sombre lorsque l’écoutille s’ouvre brusquement. Turp et Pancar se tiennent en haut de l’échelle. Turp : « Eh bien, eh bien. » « Tu as séché ton tour de garde, le vagabond ? » Panel 2 : Dans la cale, Pancar, barbu, soulève Roka en le tenant par le col. Roka garde son bras droit à l’intérieur de sa veste et la maintient fermée de la main gauche. Roka : « Je n’ai rien pris ! » Turp : « Les voleurs passent par-dessus bord. » Panel 3 : Roka donne des coups de pied dans le vide. Roka : « Ce n’est pas une règle ! » « Tu as inventé ça ! » Panel 4 : Turp, décharné, se penche tout près, l’air narquois. Turp : « Qui va le dire ? »

Sobre este capítulo

In the dark at the bottom of the sea, something is counting. On Candyreef, a candy-coloured island of floating trash, Roka wakes to a water bag in the face from his street crew, lifts breakfast from the old woman who would have fed him anyway, and tells the kid who follows him that he doesn't owe anybody. Then the gulls lift all at once, and a Maw eats half the island. A day and a night alone at sea later, the Garden Ship fishes him out and orders him to walk its treadwheels for fish heads. Roka is nobody's slave, so he goes looking for something to steal instead, and breaks into a barnacled case dredged from the seabed. The silver dust inside climbs into his arm and says hello. It is polite. It is curious. It wants every human dead. And it has just started counting again.
