• “It was brutal. Did you see her… afterwards? She had been shot twice and stabbed through the heart. I know. I thought they were friends. Why would Ravenheart kill Rafi?”
• “There was barely anything left of her body. The fire took nearly all of it. Is it- is it bad part of me is glad she's gone? At least without Munia there should never be an attack like this on the city again. Noneapple? She's still in hospital. Silas and Adverse dragged her out of the fire. She can barely move. Silas is planning to hand her over to the Watch when they come for the meeting today…”
• “Fleur seems to be doing better at least. She's still… not well, I think, but she's a lot better. We have Conjectures and Moonlight to thank for that. Not that we can any more.”
• “But- if we stay- surely we have to get back to our home, our Nature, right? But, then, if we use technoogy to do it-”

“I know. I know there is a lot of grief. There is a lot of loss right now. Some of the Cult of the Sun, our friends, have died in their misguided attempts and we must mourn them. Many have lost their faith. More still fear what it means now that we know this is not our home. That we came here on some great ship of iron and steel. Man-made and tempered to reach Sky herself.

“We don't know what is to come. And I cannot offer you all the answers. What I can offer is comfort. Comfort is what we find in each other, in these difficult times. Comfort is what we find in Nature, of which we are all a part, regardless of how far we have travelled. Do you stop being Natural when you set foot in a vehicle and travel miles on miles? No. There is only one Gods and God is infinite. Nature is here too.

“As for the ship itself… We can only guess as to why it was made. But let it serve as testament to our hubris and our failures. Man was not meant to defy Nature so far.”
