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.

Remaining
