Already they blot out the false-stars' light. No: the water is receding! Phosphorescent cliff-clingers gawp as the zee sinks. Monster-bones rise from the murk. The ship tilts violently sideways, with a sound like a reef's jaw closing. The zee, the zee! It rises, black-fisted, and falls on you with all its weight. You cling desperately to the helm. The waters drain away. Zailors lie coughing, or flopping like fish. Zeeweed drapes the railings. Around the ship, the lights of Wolfstack docks. <ul> [[File:SS wavesmall.png|23px]] [[Zee-ztory]] = 0<p></p> [[File:SS shipbigsmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:red;'>-5</span> x [[Hull]]<p></p> [[File:SS crewsmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:red;'>-1</span> to <span style='color:red;'>-3</span> x [[Crew]]<p></p> <span style="color:teal;">'''Goes to:'''</span> [[File:SS Locations Fallen London.png|42px]] [[Fallen London]] </ul> |- | {{effect title|Allow the Gall-Eyed Engineer to go ashore}} <div>"This is the place!

With a jubilant buzz, a cloud of red wasps bursts from her, circle once, and rise, disappear among the shadows of the column tops. High above, you hear an answering buzz. Where she indicated roses, you find a cache of fuel buried beneath the bones of sacrifices. Where she spoke of drums, you find Khanate religious treasures beneath a stone - world-stones, ivory cups, a hand-drum of shell. The zailors carry her corpse back to the ship. You spare a single glance for the ruined rags of her face. It's enough to see that she died smiling. <ul> [[File:SS gallblightergallssmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:red;'>-1</span> x [[Gall-Eyed Engineer]]<p></p> [[File:SS fuelsmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+5</span> x [[Fuel]]<p></p> [[File:SS guisemalesmall.png|23px]] <span style='color:green;'>+3</span> x [[Outlandish Artefact]]<p></p> </ul> | |- | {{effect title|Put a blemmigan ashore}} <div>It's quivering.</div> | <ul> [[File:SS blemmigansmall.png|23px]] 1 x [[Docile Blemmigan]]<p></p> [[File:SS blemmigansmall.png|23px]] [[Propagation: Not Kingeater's Castle]] β€ 0<p></p> </ul> | <span style='color:white'>'''Gone '''</span> The blemmigan creeps down the ramp, on to the stones of the Castle, past the litter of bones.

Before you can ask for what, he's bent double in a violent coughing fit. You kneel beside him. His eyes are wide but unseeing, his limbs trembling. He wretches. His teeth are stained vivid red. "Master Bourdain?" he croaks. "It is done. The College of Mortality is one less. We had help: a London captain." He pauses, listening. You hear nothing, but the Gallivant smiles. "Oh, that is very just. Is there anything -? Yes. Yes. I will anticipate them. I'll -" The Gallivant blinks, and laughs. He grins at you, his tongue cleaning the red from his teeth.

Sometimes they must saw a piece in half, or abrade its sides to make it fit, but the work proceeds with surprising speed. The Impeller begins to take shape - a squat, heavy-shouldered shape, like a scarecrow built to resemble an engine. "I don't think this is engineering any more," the Mechanic confides. "Possibly it's witchcraft. But I don't really mind."

He stains them with blood. ("I'll need some of yours, too," he says apologetically. "You're the captain.") He studs the bones with sapphires. He has the sailors bring up his last two custom-made components: an assemblage of copper tubes (in which he places the Element of Dawn) and a steel capsule the size of a barrel (which he has the zailors lock into the Impeller's black bone core). "Almost ready," he affirms."It just needs a spark, and a heart." He looks to the Unsettling Sage. "Yes, I know," the Sage says, a little sadly. "The heart is destiny's engine." He climbs into the capsule at the Impeller's heart, and locks the framework into place behind him. The Mechanic strikes the tubes which contain the Element, and it spits forth a sizzle of rosy light. The ivory blazes instantly with energy! The capsule, instantly incandescent with heat, seals shut forever. With a ticking sound, it slowly begins to cool. The Impeller stands radiant and whole before you: a jigsaw of heatlessly blazing ivory, with a martyr at its core. "What a relief!" the Mechanic says. "I wasn't entirely sure that would work." He claps you on the shoulder. "My work is done. Thank you.

You open him up and remove the parts he doesn't need anymore. He laughs in exultation as each one goes wetly into the stone basin. You carve six more copies of the sigil inside him, then close him up. He sits, smiles, stands, speaks. "Thank you, [[Addressed As]]. I am at home." The thing that follows you back to your ship is not the Navigator. But it has his skills, and his face (though the right half is blotted by the sprawling sigil).
