Second deckhand: 'Captain wants it locked in salvage.' Panel 2: Close on Roka in the shadows, eyes narrowing. Roka: 'Salvage...' Panel 3: Roka climbs down through a square hatch in the floor, a ladder leading into teal darkness.

Hiding behind crates in a dim corridor, Roka overhears deckhands say the claw pulled up something heavy now locked in salvage, then climbs down a floor hatch.
Bu bölüm hakkında
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.
