faith and treated her with respect, which has led her to
believe that her destiny now lies with them. She sees to
the spiritual and bodily needs of the Harriers, working
hard both in the sickbay and in the galley.
Grebben privately despises the amma hadrak and
believes that she would make a far better leader for the
Harriers. She is also in love with Revekhal Sunspite,
who loathes her; Sunspite keeps finding notes in the
meals she sends up to his cabin.

4. Sickbay
Wooden cot beds have been lined up in this room and
the sounds of faint groaning come from one of them.
Other beds contain silently sleeping figures. This room
seems strangely empty – it is clearly a sickbay, but why
have the wounded been left unattended? There is no
sign of anyone to care for them.
Sea Harriers are superstitious where sickness and death
are concerned. They believe that those who die quickly
die well but those who perish slowly drag others down
with them, like wrecks pulling swimmers down with
them. They spend as little time as possible in the
company of the ailing.
Grebben checks on the suffering Harriers four times a
day, in between her bouts of cookery. Those who can
be helped, she helps; those who have worsened, or who
do not seem to be recovering, she helps on their way
with a pillow over the face.
Currently the sickbay holds one sailor with a gangrenous
leg (the moaner) and six sailors who have contracted
food poisoning from eating badly preserved fish.
5. Baths
The sound of running water reaches your ears. A sunken
pool, filled nearly to the brim with water that looks like
it is freezing cold, takes up most of this room. A trolley
on the side of the pool holds a selection of sponges and
what look like pumice stones.
Room 5a is the communal bathhouse, where the Sea
Harriers scrub off the caked salt and grime of the
ocean. The water here is freezing cold. Room 5b is the
exclusive bathhouse for captains only and features the
luxury of lukewarm water, supplied by a coal-burning
stove. These baths are supplied with water from the
desalination room on the engineering level (see below).
They are three feet deep at the north end and ten feet
deep at the south end.
