Arc

In another bubble all floor, in chat: sailing a boat with twenty people who never sailed (ch. 2), crashing it, an orc oil rig that shoots fireballs (ch. 5), an oil cannon and Elle's Graupel as the backup. She asks Carl not to kill Chris — 'He's still Brandon's brother' (ch. 10) — refuses to relay his request to die (ch. 14), and insists he be saved. Her rule for the rescues: no bubble is emptied unless every survivor can come (ch. 32). 'Send me a message, one way or the other' (ch. 33); Carl's answer: 'He's safe. It worked' (ch. 34).
