Difference between revisions of "Summary:Tress of the Emerald Sea"

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.
