Chapter 56 - 6

You lay the plan out for Tamru and Flynn: "There's not much room to maneuver, but if we go slow and you hold each other tight, we should be able to navigate the passageways of the wreck together. Tamru, you bring up the back, and carry this bagged dragonfish for extra light."

The three of you go slowly, pausing frequently to make sure that everyone's close and can see. The extra light that Tamru's carrying helps him fill in the gaps at the back. You have to take it extra slow, navigating down the switchback stairs, but it's not long until you're pushing out and into the large storage area.

The area opens out to a large, gently sloped storage room, illuminated by coral. There's an open central room, with support beams forming shelves on either side. Toward the back, the floor and the shelves extend out into an air pocket. The whole floor here has been covered with a layer of rocks and sand to make it passably comfortable. It's more unstable than the city's ballasts, but Tamru enjoys the privacy and space it affords.

Flynn looks at the dry area with longing, then to you, then to Tamru for guidance.
