Transcrição
第1格：从Roka身后向上看，梯子顶端的舱口紧闭；脚的影子掠过光亮处。上方传来一个声音：“检查一下打捞物。” 第2格：Roka的镀铬右前臂弯起，横在胸前；手背上的眼睛转向舱口。Tohum：“两个活人。个头很大。” Roka：“有人要来了……！” 第3格：Roka用镀铬手本身拉上外套，遮住镀铬手臂；只有手指和那只眼睛从边缘露出来。Roka：“躲进去。”“一点声音都别出。” Tohum：“真没礼貌。” 第4格：梯子顶端舱口的特写：把手嘎啦作响，开始转动。

Roka听见舱口上方有守卫，右手镀铬手上的眼睛感应到有两个人正靠近，个头都很大。他把外套拉过镀铬手臂，舱口把手开始转动。
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.
