Out in the [[Reef]], the detritus of civilization is all there is. Out in the Reef, ruins are as much landmarks as planets and moons. The flotsam of derelict [[colony ship]]s from the [[Golden Age]] flood the atmosphere along with the ruined hulks of [[Hive]] ships from campaigns fought against the [[Awoken]]. For the Eliksni, finding the wreckage of a Ketch is like finding the ruins of a family home, and all the emotions that come with it. But the societal scars of Eliksni clans have long since vanished, and for those who bend a knee to | Out in the [[Reef]], the detritus of civilization is all there is.

For the Eliksni, finding the wreckage of a Ketch is like finding the ruins of a family home, and all the emotions that come with it. But the societal scars of Eliksni clans have long since vanished, and for those who bend a knee to [[the Spider]] in the remote corner of the Reef known as the [[Tangled Shore]], they have lost the privilege of such sentimentality. | ||
A salvage crew was dispatched the week after a small scouting party from the Spider's personal fiefdom spotted the wreckage of a Ketch belonging to the lost [[House of Kings]]. The crew chief on the operation, an ambitious [[Vandal]] named [[Kosis]], had shed her attachments to a life within that very house years ago. But the choice to leave something behind and the act of doing so are two entirely different things. | A salvage crew was dispatched the week after a small scouting party from the Spider's personal fiefdom spotted the wreckage of a Ketch belonging to the lost [[House of Kings]].

The [[Dreg]]s begrudgingly established guard posts on overlooks surrounding the camp, with nighttime sentry rotations to match, and the crew's scrap-work [[Shank]] orbited the site on alarm mode. | ||

Once camp was established, each crew member received an [[Ether]] ration commensurate with their station. Savek tried not to hunger as she watched Kosis inhale three full portions of the life-giving essence; more than twice her own share. The Spider had given them just two tanks—partly as a cost-saving measure, and partly as an incentive to get the job done quickly. | Once camp was established, each crew member received an [[Ether]] ration commensurate with their station.
