London, ChangedDescription
350[…] Another argument has broken out […] The Overworked Commodore has taken his hat off, the better to shout.

His Amused Lordship laughs. [...]

Sinning Jenny says something profoundly ungodly [...]

[…] one of the Starved prisoners […] can't hide their interest in the argument.

360The argument continues. This particular Starved has shown themselves – after some considerable calibration – capable of intelligible speech. But, as the Commodore would have it, capable of speech does not mean deserving of speech.
370The Starved prisoner raises their head. Their iris is deep blue, and glisters with stars. "Maig I shpeak now?" Their voice is strained, like their mouth is too small to hold it.
450"We have more than a few astrologers [...]"

"Wouldn't these be lithologers, though?" [...]

The Commodore cuts them off with a hand. "Signs? What signs did you see?"

"Change. Great change – as we have seen in times past. The change of flooding and falling."
