Overheard on the Tartarus
- They say the Rockefellers have been dabbling in diablerie. They say
that about all the Passengers, of course.
- Ragnar’s last expedition came back in shreds. They say they fought a
dragon in the hydroponics bay.
- Before the Great Retreat, the Second Class kept their wealth out in
the hull. I bet some of it’s still out there, if you knew where to
look…
The Gatetown Notice Board
Among the tattered papers at the Notice Board #### New This Week - A
postcard, showing a metal arch marked “GRAND MENAGERIE” over an
illustration of dozens of beasts. Scrawled with “Remember what They took
from You”. - A red pentagram graffitied over a large, fresh poster
boldly stating that “Unsanctioned Diablerie is Strictly Forbidden by the
Passenger Class.” A long series of definitions, subparagraphs, and
pictograms fills the rest of the poster.
