In the salvage ship's hold, three boatmen assay their most recent find: a sealed vessel full of rare parts. The boatmen had never seen such a haul and were amazed at their luck. Only in mostly forgotten tales of the dimmest past were such prizes ever heard of. In the Flotsam Days, drifting salvage as big as houses was a menace to navigation. In these leaner years, these three would be excited to find the merest widget. A single bent liftarm would be a lifetime's discovery. But such salvage as this would make sealords of them all! |
