;Plot Summary
The narrator explains that Crow's Song is roughly twice the size and crew capacity of Oot's Dream, and has two guns rather than one.
The convention of referring to most crew as Doug is established. She asks Doug where the toilet is, and otherwise explores the ship.
She comes upon Fort (the quartermaster) and Ann (the carpenter) inspecting a cannonball and whether any other defective ones were found. Fort communicates through a board in which words appear. They describe the destruction of Oot's Dream as an accident, and "not the kind of piracy we signed up for." Ann says at least they aren't being conscripted.
Huck explains that the whole crew is culpable of murders commited during piracy due to the felony murder law. He also overheard that the quartermaster is deaf. Huck mentions meeting a deaf human who was an excellent dancer once, but Tress reminds him that the crew on the last ship caged him after learning he could talk.
Fort notices them sneaking around and his board tells her "come here, girl".
