The smoky shipyard is illuminated by electric bulbs that hang in perfectly aligned rows over the work. Engineers and shipwrights pore over blueprints while the sounds of hammer and rope make clear who is doing the real work.
[…]Description summary:
The second paragraph varies as the story of the Coilheart Eagles progresses.
Eagles | Second Paragraph |
---|---|
1 | Despite the intensity of the electric light and the buzz of activity, it's difficult to discern any actual boat taking form. |
10 | Khaganians keep a safe distance from a scorched and empty gazebo. After […] the explosion […] the Eagle have been working less fervidly. But they are, at least, visibly constructing […] the boat – while behind schedule – is shaping up to be a fine one. |
