Zero spent more time cooling the engine room than healing the injured. Pepper and Ottley returned to the pink of health quicker than the engine room could return to normal. The sea otters were already scurrying about, gathering materials of all kinds and trying to repair broken tools.
"What are they doing?" Zero couldn't withhold his curiosity and asked Ottley, who was still nursing his massive headache. It was a rather bad concussion, and Zero was surprised his skull wasn't cracked.
The captain groaned when someone passed them by to get to the workshop below the engine room and bumped into him. Zero regretted not bringing the injured to the doctor's clinic, but he couldn't leave the engine room either. How inconvenient.
"They are preparing to remodel the ship," Ottley replied. Pepper was almost healed, and the sea otter captain wondered why he wasn't healed yet.
