; Plot Summary

Tress comes to to find Ann laughing at her. The speck that got under her goggles blew them off, but only made her face sore. Ann takes her to Dr. Ulaam, who is a a sharp-dressed, gray-skinned fellow with red eyes. They joke about him buying Tress's eyes. Ann calls Ulaam a zombie, and he explains that he has gotten rid of his heartbeat for efficiency. He gives Tress a salve for her face. Through additional banter, Ann mentions Ulaam eats corpses, and he tells of mimicking their forms. However, his salve works miraculously. When he joined the crew, Crow shot him a few times to no effect. Since he required no pay beyond the occasional useless corpse, they kept him around. Tress returns to her work, and Huck tells her he saw Laggart sneaking around with some cannonballs. She sets to scrubbing near the cannon.

The narrator offers an overview of the [[Luhel bond]]. Midnight spores differ from other colors of Lumar's rogue aethers in utilizing a the Luhel bond, which is close to how aethers are supposed to work, symbiotically. It is not like the [[Nahel bond]], which exchanges "consciousness and anchoring to reality;" rather, there is an exchange of physical matter.

Tress feels water leaving her body as the Midnight Essence grows and coalesces into a face which requests more water. Tress agrees, and the Midnight Essence adopts a simulacrum of Huck from her mind. Giving it more water, she controls and then inhabits the Midnight Essence. In Crow's quarters, they read Crow's research about possible cures from the verdant aether spores by something or someone named [[Xisisrefliel|Xisis]]. She uncoversdiscovers that Crow had secret meetings with Weev about locating Xisis, but he turned to blackmail, which is why she killed him. Further reading reveals Xisis to be a dragon living under the Crimson Sea, though reports are apocryphal due to the dangers of the Crimson. The Midnight Essence fights Tress on reading further, and then approaching footsteps coincide with Huck severing the tie to the Midnight Essence. He had acted on Tress' increasing dehydration. She recuperates and plans to meet with the other officers.
